Hidden Daughter - Secret Sister

It is a story about the power of truth.
 

We are not born feeling shamed or rejected; we acquire those corrosive feelings through the actions of others. The source of my shame was not adoption itself but the choices others made, telling lies and keeping secrets from me. People are surprised when I say how ashamed I was to be adopted, in spite of the unwavering love of my parents. Yes, I was loved, but that didn’t erase my need to know the truth. As each thread of truth was uncovered, the story of my life became more coherent. Shame, confusion, and anger resolved to understanding and acceptance.

How to Read the Psalms

In an easy-to-read style, Earl Banks has provided us with a very important book for people who have wondered, ‘what are the first five books of the Bible all about?’ Or, ‘what are the Psalms all about?’

Earl answers these questions beautifully. Most Christians spend their time reading the New Testament because that’s the Word of the Lord to the believer in Christ. But Earl shows that the book of the Law was the Word of the Lord to the Psalmist. The more we understand the Book of the Law, written by Moses, the more we can understand the Psalms. Earl shows how to read those books of Moses, and how to understand the Psalms.

This is a must read for anyone who would like a deeper understanding of the Old Testament, and especially the book of Psalms.

Humphrey the Hippo and the Search for Milk

Deep in the mud pools and jungle forests of Hippoland lives Humphrey the Hippo. He is usually quite carefree compared to other hippos (who can be a bit grumpy at times). But one afternoon, he finds he is faced with a puzzle. Humphrey and his brother Harold are determined to make a cup of tea. But try as they might, they cannot find a key ingredient: milk.

So, they decide to consult their friend, Wilberforce the Wizard, for he knows everything. Wilberforce uses his magic to send the hippos to the land of Humans (even though Harold thinks humans are “mud sausages”). In the land of Humans, the hippos cause all kinds of chaos, involving grocery stores, credit cards and bananas - amongst other things.

But the two hippos persevere and return in triumph, with a carton of milk in hand, to Hippoland. However, their adventure is not over. They will still need the help of Wilbeforce the Wizard and his new mysterious friend, Clara.
