The Adventures of Gum: Bummer Summer

Gum could barely hold in his excitement on the last day of school. He had waited for this moment for over 280 days! School was close to being out, and he had plans - BIG PLANS!  His fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Magle, told the class that she had a fun surprise for the last day of school. What could it be? Well, let's just say that Mrs. Magle and Gum don't define "fun" the same way. Mrs. Magle announced to the class that she would be their teacher next year also. That wouldn't be so bad, except she assigned everyone a SUMMER WRITING PROJECT!  Gum doesn't like this news! What's he supposed to write about? He hates writing! How can he live out a summer of adventure with a writing project looming over his head? To make matters even worse, Gum's mom is a teacher across the hall. How will he ever get out of this unfortunate mess? A summer must be savored and enjoyed. SUMMERS ARE FOR KIDS!

In this novel, Ezra, the son of the apostle Peter, is an active member of a fisherman’s family living in ancient Capernaum, where Jesus stayed while on Earth, teaching and preaching. Twelve-year-old Ezra is a working member of the family, typical of boys his age. He is excited about traveling with his family and Jesus as they walk about the vast area. A shepherd, he is responsible for the care of the family’s animals, sheep and an ornery goat, and other assigned duties. He is intelligent, hard-working, and anxious to learn about Jesus. He becomes a successful eavesdropper. Of course there are conflicts. He secretly befriends a Roman boy, enemy to all Jews at the time. Their developing friendship is important to both boys. Life at that time was difficult for young people, but there were also many happy times as well as problems. The actions and incidents are based on extensive research of the Bible and many other historic references concerning the ancient world. Only Ezra as the imaginary character with the events and incidents with Jesus are a figment of the author’s imagination. It could easily have happened to a boy at that time.

The Traveling Apron Cookbook: A Delicious Journey of Food, Friendship, & Family Traditions

From coast-to-coast, there is something universally common about our relationship with food. It's more than just the food we eat and the way we nourish our bodies. It's the way we feel when our food is shared and the manner in which we connect with others over a shared meal. But perhaps most importantly is the way in which a favorite heirloom recipe can allow a flood of treasured memories to invade our hearts with the simple aroma of ingredients. The traveling apron journey began with one simple goal in mind: to connect a community of women together around those beloved recipes. After 20,000-plus miles of travel, whether you're looking to update your weeknight dinner rotation, entertain friends on the back porch, or simply looking for a dessert for your next holiday bash, there's a little something for everyone.
