Any major transition in life is apt to create new challenges or reinvigorate lingering questions. Worries and feelings of inadequacy are often uninvited companions as we negotiate the passage of time and life. So where do we turn when we need a light to show us the next step forward—either for ourselves or for our loved ones? In Toward Endless Light, author Anita Kraal-Zuidema reflects on her life story in writing what began as love legacy for her family. As stories tumbled out, she knew they were meant to be shared with a broader audience than she had at first envisioned. With new insight, she began to foster a greater appreciation and love for scripture and the biblical solutions it offers. Anita also wanted to challenge her readers to consider and ponder the every-day choices they make and to encourage them to walk in closer relationship with God. Life is full of questions, though most of life is accomplished without ready answers to our most difficult questions—the whys and the why me sort. However great our intentions, the devil is always ready to infuse his foolishness into our minds as he sits perched on our shoulder doing his best to keep us from doing our very best. Thank God, the devil succeeds less and less—especially as we listen more closely to the only one who has answers to all our questions. They will come—in his time, in his way.

This anthology fuses an array of poems and short stories, meticulously crafted over many years. It spans a diverse spectrum of themes—from the lighthearted whimsy of comedy to the profound depths of everyday human experiences. The author presents a distinctive perspective on biblical scriptures, enriching them with personal insights and reflections. Moreover, this collection acts as a reflective mirror, capturing the essence of pivotal events and characters that have left an indelible mark on the author’s life journey. In homage to the Bard, the author has skillfully crafted a series of sonnets that honor both the traditional Shakespearean style and the lyrical Italian form. Adding a touch of whimsy, the book includes a selection of limericks, initially penned in jest but now presented for the readers’ delight. The short stories explore themes of unrequited love, sacrifice, forgiveness, fractured vows, the resilience of the human spirit, the devastating impact of war on innocent children, heartbreak, resurgence, the fallibility of human judgment, enduring love, jealousy, and the pain of abandonment. Each story conveys a message that resonates deeply with the reader. The book’s title reflects the author’s transformative journey from the shadows of adversity to the radiant light of divine grace. This profound metamorphosis is delicately woven into the fabric of the poetry and prose, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the soul of a writer reborn. This work is the second installment in a series, following the author’s initial offering, “Of Sadness and Of Pleasure.”

In book four of the award-winning Austin Family Chronicles young adult series from Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, Vicky Austin experiences the difficulties and joys of growing up. "This wasn't the first time that I'd come close to death, but it was the first time I'd been involved in this part of it, this strange, terrible saying goodbye to someone you've loved." These are Vicky Austin's thoughts as she stands near Commander Rodney's grave while her grandfather, who himself is dying of cancer, recites the funeral service. Watching his condition deteriorate over that long summer is almost more than she can bear. Then, in the midst of her struggle, she finds herself the center of attention for three young men. Leo, Commander Rodney's son, turns to her as an old friend seeking comfort but longing for romance. Zachary, whose attempted suicide inadvertently caused Commander Rodney's death, sees her as the one sane and normal person who can give some meaning to his life. And Adam, a serious young student working at the nearby marine-biology station, discovers Vicky, his friend's little sister, incipient telepathic powers that can help him with his experiments in dolphin communications. Vicky finds solace and brief moments of peace in her poetry, but life goes on around her, and the strain intensifies as she confronts matters of love and of death, of dependence and of responsibility, universal concerns that we all must face. The inevitable crisis comes and Vicky must rely on openness, sensitivity, and the love of others to overcome her private grief. Once again, Madeleine L'Engle has written a story that revels in the drama of vividly portrayed characters and events of the spiritual and moral dimensions of common human experiences. A Ring of Endless Light is a 1981 Newbery Honor Book.

A feisty girl from a family of ranchers lands a job as a daredevil stunt girl in the early days of silent film in this adventurous and funny cross between Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken and Ramona. Pearl lives on a ranch where her chores include collecting eggs and feeding ornery ostriches. She has three older brothers, who don't coddle her at all. And she knows a thing or two about horses, too. One day, Pearl's brothers get cushy jobs doing stunts for this new form of entertainment called "moving pictures." They're the Daredevil Donnelly Brothers, a Death-Defying Cowboy Trio. Before she knows it, Pearl has stumbled into being a stunt girl herself--and dreams of becoming a star. The only problem is, her mother has no idea what she's up to. And let's just say she wouldn't be too happy to find out that Pearl's been jumping out of burning buildings in her spare time. Filled with action, humor, and heart--not to mention those pesky ostriches--The Nerviest Girl in the World introduces a spunky heroine whose adventures will have kids on the edge of their seats and whose sense of humor will have them laughing until the very last line.

In book five of the award-winning Austin Family Chronicles young adult series from Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, Vicky Austin experiences the difficulties and joys of growing up. After a year in New York City and a summer with her grandfather, Vicky Austin returns to the rural connecticut village she grew up in-- and feels totally out of place. Then she meets Adam Eddington's Great Aunt Serena, who reminds her of her beloved grandfather, and she begins to find a comfortable, if not exciting, routine to her days. At Christmas, Serena gives Vicky a trip to Antarctica, to visit Adam. Vicky can't believe her luck. But the trip is not what Vicky imagined it would be. First of all, she doesnt know where she stands with Adam. He's pulled back, saying they are just friends. But weren't they more than that, Vicky thinks. And Vicky's fellow passengers are not what they seem or they are more than she knows. Finally, even Aunt Serena's motives are suspect, as Vicky discovers a journal that belonged to Adam's famous uncle who disappeared many years earlier. As Vicky becomes more and more caught up in a mystery involving drugs, nuclear waste, and international espionage, she discovers that her assumptions about the world are hopelessly naive and that life, hers included, is as fragile as the ecosystem of Antarctica, the world's most remote continent.
