Disciples Who Disappointed Doubted And Denied
$9.99
Disciples Who Disappointed, Doubted, and Denied by Margo Holmes, Kids will be reminded that Jesus never gives up on those who love Him, no matter what! We all have our short-comings, and Jesus doesn’t give up on us. Instead, He forgives us and teaches us how to move forward. Jesus did this with his disciples when James and John were not happy when Jesus wasn’t welcomed into the village, and they became furious and wanted to retaliate. Also, when Jesus told His disciples that He would be raised from the dead, and later when He visited them, Thomas had been absent and doubted what they said was true. Even Peter who loved Jesus with all of his heart, became afraid when Jesus was arrested and denied that he even knew Him. Jesus loves us, is ready to forgive us and will help us move forward so that we can also be disciples of Jesus, making a difference in the world. Hardcover, 36 pages. Recommended for ages 4 to 8 years old.

How Far To The Promised Land
$27.00Add to cartFrom the New York Times contributing opinion writer and award-winning author of Reading While Black, Esau McCaulley shares a riveting intergenerational account of his family’s search for home and hope.
For much of his life, Esau McCaulley was taught to see himself as an exception: someone who, through hard work, faith, and determination, overcame childhood poverty, anti-Black racism, and an absent father to earn a job as a university professor and a life in the middle class.
But that narrative was called into question one night, when McCaulley answered the phone and learned that his father-whose absence defined his upbringing-died in a car crash. McCaulley was being asked to deliver his father’s eulogy, to make sense of his complicated legacy in a country that only accepts Black men on the condition that they are exceptional, hardworking, perfect.
The resulting effort sent McCaulley back through his family history, seeking to understand the community that shaped him. In these pages, we meet his great-grandmother Sophia, a tenant farmer born with the gift of prophecy who scraped together a life in Jim Crow Alabama; his mother, Laurie, who raised four kids alone in an era when single Black mothers were demonized as “welfare queens”; and a cast of family, friends, and neighbors who won small victories in a world built to swallow Black lives. With profound honesty and compassion, he raises questions that implicate us all: What does each person’s struggle to build a life teach us about what we owe each other? About what it means to be human?
How Far to the Promised Land is a thrilling and tender epic about being Black in America. It’s a book that questions our too-simple narratives about poverty and upward mobility; a book in which the people normally written out of the American Dream are given voice.
