Book Description
In this, my first published book, I have taken some eighty-six poems from more than three hundred I have written over nearly fifty years. Some express a simple faith in God the Father, some give praises to Jesus, some focus on biblical events and people, and some are what I call the opposite of the parables of Jesus. Instead of comparing an earthly situation with a heavenly situation, as Jesus did, I contrast the two. Some good examples are “Scars,” “God Will Never Leave Us,” and “You Can Count on Me.” Finally, I have included poems about family relationships, including mothers, fathers, and daughters. If you are a Christian, I hope this book will bless you; if you don’t know Jesus as your Savior, it is my prayer that God will use this book to show you one simple truth that Jesus loves you.

Book Description
Frogs, family and lots of fun combine to make this book of poetry a must-read by everyone who loves the funny and teachable moments we all run into. There are poems of inspiration, musings about life in general, instruction on kindness and treating others with love, understanding and respect. Never one to take credit for her own work, Joyce Folsom Johnson has written hundreds of poems over the years. Lots of them are written in tandem with our loving God who inspires her to keep getting up in the middle of the night to jot down the ideas (or full poems) He has suggested to her. These poems started out as gifts to friends and family on special occasions and to recall fun times of bygone days. Spending some time in this world brings back memories of joy and sorrow, and reminds us all to live out Jesus love. Marcia Lee Johnson Newell You take words and weave them into beautiful poetry which touch people deeply. I have admired you, and I think you are wise beyond your years. Wilma Rollins, Former School Teacher, written in 1989 Divinely inspired, encouraging, thought-provoking and at times, funny. Ever showing Gods great love for us, this book is a keeper! One to refer to for many of lifes situations. Christine Ann Johnson Morrison

Book Description
The written word is one of the defining elements of Christian experience. As vigorous in the 1st century as it is in the 21st, Christian literature has had a significant function in history, and teachers and students need to be reminded of this powerful literary legacy. Covering 2,000 years, The Encyclopedia of Christian Literature is the first encyclopedia devoted to Christian writers and books. In addition to an overview of the Christian literature, this two-volume set also includes 40 essays on the principal genres of Christian literature and more than 400 bio-bibliographical essays describing the principal writers and their works. These essays examine the evolution of Christian thought as reflected in the literature of every age. The companion volume also features bibliographies, an index, a timeline of Christian Literature, and a list of the greatest Christian authors. The encyclopedia will appeal not only to scholars and Christian evangelicals, but students and teachers in seminaries and theological schools, as well as to the growing body of Christian readers and bibliophiles.

Book Description
A collection of classic and contemporary stories and poems dedicated to that variable, elusive, albeit universal theme of fatherhood. After all, we all have a father who has profoundly impacted us - either by absence or devotion. Some fathers even manage to do both. Many have experienced the other side of the coin by being a father. The versus will recall for any fathers reading, the tender feelings fathers get to enjoy, and tuck away in their heart, fueling the lifelong bond between father and child - such as when their child prods them with innocent, irresistible, curiosity, or enchants them as only a swaddling babe can do. These moments move some fathers to a delightful outpouring, such as Wordsworth, whose poetry on the subject resonates these experiences with a powerful poignancy - even today.

Book Description
Winner of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature, the Michael L. Printz Award, and the Pura Belpré Award! Fans of Jacqueline Woodson, Meg Medina, and Jason Reynolds will fall hard for this astonishing New York Times-bestselling novel-in-verse by an award-winning slam poet, about an Afro-Latina heroine who tells her story with blazing words and powerful truth. Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about. With Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems. Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent. “Crackles with energy and snaps with authenticity and voice.” —Justina Ireland, author of Dread Nation “An incredibly potent debut.” —Jason Reynolds, author of the National Book Award Finalist Ghost “Acevedo has amplified the voices of girls en el barrio who are equal parts goddess, saint, warrior, and hero.” —Ibi Zoboi, author of American Street This young adult novel, a selection of the Schomburg Center's Black Liberation Reading List, is an excellent choice for accelerated tween readers in grades 6 to 8.
