Adventures of the God Detectives


Great Books from Wood LakeNancy Reeves and Linnea Good | 96 PP | 5" x 7.5" Paper | List price $8.95 | When seven-year-old Tabitha hears a message from Jesus while listening to a Bible story, she tells her three best friends – Emma, Jacob, and Fu-Han (who are aged eight and nine). Intrigued by her experience, the friends find themselves wondering about how God speaks to people, and to kids in particular. And with that simple question, the God Detectives are born. Adventures of the God Detectives is about a group of young friends who form a club to discover the variety of ways God invites us into a relationship. The book contains seven stories for children aged six to ten years old, and is illustrated with black and white line drawings. Each story includes ""Notes for Adults,"" and ""Questions to consider with Children,"" designed to help parents talk with children about spiritual experiences. Adventures of the God Detectives chronicles the discoveries Tabitha, Emma, Jacob, and Fu-Han make, as they meet a native elder and a Franciscan monk, encounter a little sister's ""imaginary companion,"" interpret a dream, wrestle with their conscience, read the Bible, and pray.


The Family Story Bible


Great Books from Wood LakeRalph Milton and Margaret Kyle | 288 PP | 6.75" x 9.75" Paper | List price $19.95 | With characteristic warmth and humor, Ralph Milton retells Bible stories in an engaging, contemporary way for kids and adults. The Family Story Bible meets the expectations of today's values-oriented parents by using inclusive language for God, and including stories of both men and women in the Bible. Readers will find old favorite stories and they'll discover stories often overlooked in children's Bibles, such as the stories of the prophets, wisdom literature, and the letters of the early church. A delight to read and hear. Margaret Kyle's illustrations brim with energy, curiosity, and joy, capturing in full color the setting and the spirit of the stories. Previously titled Living God's Way.


The Spirituality of Grandparenting


Great Books from Wood LakeRalph Milton and Beverley Milton | 160 PP | 8.5" x 9" Paper | List price $37.00 | Our spiritual vocation as grandparents is to delight in our grandchildren. That's a one-sentence summary of everything in this book ..." So begins Ralph Milton, in this latest addition to the beautifully and lavishly illustrated Spirituality series. Read a few pages, however, and it quickly becomes obvious that Milton delights not only in his grandchildren, but also in being a grandparent. More than a celebration of grandchildren, this book is a celebration of grandparenting, and of the very real gifts it offers to both the grandchild and to the grandparent. This book is for grandparents who are new to the role and for grandparents who have earned their degree in "grandparentology" through long experience. It's for "traditional" grandparents and for grandparents of adopted children; it's for surrogate grandparents and even for grandparents-in-waiting. Ultimately, it's for all grandparents – who are never to old too love, and never too old to be loved back
