"It's more than a story to me; it's an opportunity to testify of God's powerful hand in my life." It's the untold story of a parent's child living with a rare cholestatic liver disease called Alagille syndrome and how the sovereignty of the Lord saw them through it all. The story is about me, how I grew up living with a rare cholestatic liver disease, and all the obstacles my mother and I faced throughout this journey. It is especially important to me that I share my story because I want to let those who are going through a trial such as mine know that they are not alone. As you venture through my story, you will see that the Lord carries my mother and me throughout these trying times and see how He strategically places people in our path. It is the sovereignty of the Lord that helps us get through. It is my hope for those who are going through any health issues that they too can have the sovereignty of the Lord to help them and can use these times to also draw closer to having a personal relationship with Him.

The Conscience of a Teacher encourages readers to think deeply about what actions are right for teachers to take in their work with students. Babbage asks teachers to concentrate on doing what is right and on being conscientious. Conscience, ethics, virtue, integrity, and honor are emphasized as well. This book is composed of many short essays which can be read separately; however, read together these commentaries form a compelling exploration of how and why teachers should obey laws, regulations, policies, and contractual obligations, yet should do much more. Why? The reasons include because it is right, because it is honorable, because it is virtuous, and because the conscience of a teacher demands a higher standard.

It took a lot of determination—and a lot of support from one another—but despite all the hardships along the way, the three succeeded. Retold with the help of an award-winning author, this younger adaptation of the adult hit novel The Pact is a hard-hitting, powerful, and inspirational book that will speak to young readers everywhere.
