How an old bike takes a young man for the ride of his life.  On a remote spit of land, a magical bicycle befriends Tom, a boy of nine. Emerson the “talking bike” becomes Tom’s best friend and playmate, offering an ear during the boy’s troubles, and a wise sage during his adolescence. But as the boy becomes a man, Tom listens less and less to Emerson and more and more to the wisdom of the world. It would take a miracle to bring Tom back to the hopeful days of his youth when life was an adventure to be lived - not endured.  The miracle arrives after Tom’s stint in jail when the ocean delivers one of the most savage hurricanes to ever hit the coast. Tired, bitter, and old, Tom rummages through an old garage and finds his discarded bike. But is he too late? Can Emerson restore the soul of his friend before the sun sets on their adventures for the final time?  "What a delight... though I thought it unlikely that a bicycle could do much to unravel some complicated issues, my skepticism was outvoted. It really doesn't matter how old you are, Emerson talks to you. Dwight Ritter's illustrations made me smile as much as his story warmed my heart. Emerson's message challenged my thinking, then threw me a lifeline, reeled me in and rescued me. A charming little book for young and old. Get it! Read it! Give it to everyone you know! " - by Pat Lindquist.

Are you seeking a closer walk with God? Wondering what comes next? Answering the Call can help you find your way. It reveals the simple truth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that to follow him is to find true meaning in life. Christ... the First Responder, is calling you now. Answering the Call is a collection of inspirational stories based on the author's experiences as a street paramedic in Durham, North Carolina. Each story is written as a devotional with an insightful application that offers the reader a glimpse into God's Word. Use it for your daily devotional time, as a guide for small group study, or simply to share with other paramedics and other first responders. Will you answer the call? "The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off -for all whom the Lord our God will call." - Acts 2:39.

Excellence in Media “Silver Angel Award” Virginia, the young daughter of a wealthy doctor’s family, sees her life forever altered by the Great Depression. Forced to give up her own room so that relatives can move in, her resentment at those circumstances is altered as she helps her father, who spends his spare time giving medical attention to the people of “Soo City.” Soo City is a makeshift camp near the Soo Line tracks. But her father’s goodwill clashes with powerful people who wish the camp destroyed. The violent strike of workers in the grain mill district brings tragedy to the strikers, and the father is severely wounded while helping the people of Soo City as the police are clearing out the camp. What happens next will astound you! “In this seamless and well-researched narrative, Tatlock provides a compelling look at the Depression through a child’s eyes. At the same time, she accurately conveys the exuberance, naïveté, humor and optimism typical of young teens.” --CBA Marketplace General Content (G) (I): Contains little or no; sexual dialogue or situations, violence, or strong language.
