'Poverty is a very exacting teacher and I had been taught well' The post-war urban jungle of the Glasgow tenements was the setting for Molly Weir's childhood. From sharing a pull-out bed in her mother's tiny kitchen to running in terror from the fever van, it was an upbringing that was cemented in hardship. Hunger, cold and sickness was an everyday reality and complaining was not an option. Despite the crippling poverty, there was a vivacity to the tenements that kept spirits high. Whether Molly was brushing the hair of her wizened neighbour Mrs MacKay, running to Jimmy's chip shop for a ha'penny of crimps or dancing at the annual fair, there wasn't a moment to spare for self-pity. Molly never let it get her down as she and the other urchins knew how to make do with nothing. And at the centre of her world was her fearsome but loving Grannie, whose tough, independent spirit taught Molly to rise above her pitiful surroundings and achieve her dreams.

But all the kids are wearing them! Any child who has ever craved something out of reach will relate to this warm, refreshingly realistic story. Features an audio read-along. "I have dreams about those shoes. Black high-tops. Two white stripes." All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. But Jeremy’s grandma tells him they don’t have room for "want," just "need," and what Jeremy needs are new boots for winter. When Jeremy’s shoes fall apart at school, and the guidance counselor gives him a hand-me-down pair, the boy is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy comes to realize that the things he has -- warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend -- are worth more than the things he wants.

Construction of New Testament Cathedral's multimillion-dollar crystal sanctuary is complete. Pastor Samantha Cleaveland is credited with building the magnificent edifice in spite of her grief over the death of her husband, the mega church's former beloved pastor, Hezekiah T. Cleaveland. Los Angeles and the world are ready to celebrate with Samantha and the New Testament family. Samantha is the reigning queen and celebrated minister of the gospel; however, conspiring in the background are the people whose lives she has left in shambles in her shameless pursuit of power. Samantha thought she had killed Danny St. John during a botched blackmail attempt, but he has returned to avenge the death of Hezekiah, the only man he ever truly loved. Danny has enlisted the help of Gideon Truman, a reporter who would like nothing more than to expose Samantha as a murderer to further his journalism career. Cynthia Pryce continues her tireless efforts to bring down Samantha as well, so that her husband can become head pastor. The emotionally fragile Scarlett Shackelford is struggling to maintain her sanity while she fights to prevent Samantha from luring away her husband. A star-studded party hosted by Samantha at the Cleaveland estate in Bel Air is the culmination of a month of celebrations marking the completion of the cathedral. The wounded band of coconspirators is present at the elegant affair, ready to strike against their enemy. Precise timing, absolute secrecy, and unfettered hate are the elements that must be in place for their plan to succeed. Will Samantha be able to deliver her victory speech, or will her enemies have the final say? The intense drama comes to a head in this final installment of Terry E. Hill's popular Sunday Morning Trilogy.

Are you struggling to connect with your church community? Do you find yourself questioning the core beliefs that you once held dear? Searching for Sunday, from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans is a heartfelt ode to the past and a hopeful gaze into the future of what it means to be a part of the modern church. Like millions of her millennial peers, Rachel Held Evans didn't want to go to church anymore. The hypocrisy, the politics, the gargantuan building budgets, the scandals--to her, it was beginning to feel like church culture was too far removed from Jesus. Yet, despite her cynicism and misgivings, something kept drawing Evans back to church. Evans found herself wanting to better understand the church and find her place within it, so she set out on a new adventure. Within the pages of Searching for Sunday, Evans catalogs her journey as she loves, leaves, and finds the church once again. Evans tells the story of her faith through the lens of seven sacraments of the Catholic church--baptism, confession, holy orders, communion, confirmation, the anointing of the sick, and marriage--to teach us the essential truths about what she's learned along the way, including: Faith isn't just meant to be believed, it's meant to be lived and shared in community Christianity isn't a kingdom for the worthy--it's a kingdom for the hungry, the broken, and the imperfect The countless and beautiful ways that God shows up in the ordinary parts of our daily lives Searching for Sunday will help you unpack the messiness of community, teaching us that by overcoming our cynicism, we can all find hope, grace, love, and, somewhere in between, church.
