Book Description
Gordon Korman meets Word Nerd in this totally (and completely) genius debut! Arthur Bean, soon-to-be a rich and famous author, has set two goals for himself: to win the school writing contest and to win the heart of his secret crush, Kennedy. But his life has had some major twists and turns lately, and the recent loss of his mother definitely complicates things. Arthur is in turns outrageous, defiant, and unintentionally hilarious as we peek over his shoulder at his reading journals, notes from his long-suffering teachers, his offbeat articles for the school newspaper — even the emails he sends to writing partner Kennedy. A Year in the Life of a Total and Complete Genius is a fresh and funny story about a boy whose bad luck can't dampen his spirit — or his love of writing.

Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
There is a global epidemic of children who have been abandoned, abused, and neglected. When there is no one to care what happens to them, these children usually end up on the streets. All it takes is one person whose heart is totally submitted to serving God to influence the lives of unwanted children, a surrounding neighborhood, and even a nation. Only Gods love can make such a radical change in one heart and ultimately transform the lives of so many others. As a young teenager, Lorraine Lamar cried out to God and sought Him with all her heart; what began as a cry for help turned into a lifelong ministry. When Lorraine responded to Gods call, He rewarded her with her ultimate dream: to serve in ministry rescuing Filipino children. She and her husband, Celing, and their three children now minister to abandoned, abused, neglected, and orphaned Filipino children at their Faith, Hope, and Love Kids Ranch in the Philippines. The kids ranch has become a symbol of unconditional love and a model for Christian orphanages everywhere. Their lives have become perfect examples of lifestyle evangelism in Christian service, as they love, train, and care for unwanted Filipino children, challenging the kids and visitors alike to be a blessing, rather than a burden, to society.
