A tale of life, love, and self-sacrifice as they occur among both the meek and the powerful animals in a forest. Kara is the fastest, fiercest, and consequently loneliest falcon in the forest--until he vows, as the result of a moving experience, to never again kill another animal, even if it threatens his own survival. An inspiring parable by the author of Joshua.

Mr. Blue

J. Blue is a young man who decides to take Christianity seriously, not as a chore but as a challenge. He spends his inherited wealth almost as soon as he gets it. He lives in a packing box on a New York City rooftop. He embraces the poor as his best friends and wisest companions, distrusts the promises of technology (except for the movies), and is fascinated by anything involving the wide expanse of God’s universe. He is the ultimate free spirit, it seems; but what is the sourceâand purposeâof his freedom? This novel about a contemporary St. Francis figure has delighted and inspired countless readers since it was first published in 1928. Â

Gateway to Heaven tells of a memorable journey to France, the Vallances' stormy sea voyage from London to the Greek Isles, where Mary falls into frightful danger; an idyllic vacation in Hawaii, their response to the antiwar movement, the drug culture, and sexual freedom in the confusion of the sixties.

Gateway to Heaven

Vanauken, Sheldon

Marvin has just missed the last flight home from Cleveland, and wanders morosely into the airport bar. It is deserted except for one young man who engages Marvin in a whimsical, teasing and slightly outrageous conversation leaving Marvin befuddled. He says his name is Jerry, he's a sort-order-cook and he's God. Marvin, no surprise, is skeptical. To say the least. Marvin is also intrigued. He is less skeptical and more intrigued a week later after meeting with Jerry's cousin, Spencer-- a big, rough raw-boned man in both appearance and demeanor. Despite himself, Marvin is drawn into a circle of people much like himself, all drawn somehow to Jerry and not really sure what to believe about him. For not only does Jerry still claim to be God, he also says that he's going to die (perhaps fairly soon), that he will rise from his grave and that everybody will benefit from it. The reader of this fantasy/parable/gospel soon comes to recognize New Testament characters and events in distinctly modern dress. They are by turns, honest, wisecracking, endearing, raucous, flip, devoted followers, shocked observers, pious and cynical. The gospel events here take on a new air, a vivid new reality. Instead of loaves and fishes on a hillside, Jerry feeds the crowd in a downtown park on pizza with anchovies. Rather than Galilee, Jerry and his "witnesses" all retreat to Cincinnati for a few days off. Marvin, who has been appointed "chief witness" by Jerry, is the narrator of this tale and we hear his own unique voice. He is sometimes sarcastic, sometimes ironic, whimsical, teasing, incredulous, funny, decidedly regional ("you ain't gonna believe this,but...") and awestruck. Like most disciples, Marvin is himself a mixture of belief and unbelief. Yet in the end--through a death under cloudy circumstances, a resurrection, and a rather stunning display at the Cleveland airport-- Marvin writes it all down because his uncertainties matter less than his faith to Jerry.

Who Will Teach Me? has been compared to a religious version of Dr. Spock. The approach used in this book is psychologically oriented, but presented in a way that any parent can understand. The author believes strongly that Jesus came not to impose a law but to teach us how to enjoy the freedom of God's children and in the process become beautiful people. Jesus' religion was people oriented and that was the secret of his great popularity. This book has captured the real spirit of Jesus, and if people follow the guidelines set forth in this book, they will go far in molding their children into really beautiful people fashioned after the pattern of Christ.
