This book takes the book 'Let's Just Laugh at That!' and adds engaging stories, practical steps, and ¿laughter weapons" to teach children how to recognize and beat the lies the enemy tries to tell them. This is an interactive journey for adults and children to learn to take every thought captive and to reinforce truth and hope in their lives. All the lie-defeating weapons of this book are laughter activated, because we believe laughing at what the enemy is saying and planning is key to helping us overcome the power of lies (Psalm 2:4).

It's best for ages 6-10 and great as a devotional for parents, children, and groups.

Even well-meaning fiction writers of the late Jim Crow era (1900-1955) perpetuated racial stereotypes in their depiction of black characters. From 1918 to 1952, Octavus Roy Cohen turned out a remarkable 360 short stories featuring Florian Slappey and the schemers, romancers and ditzes of Birmingham's Darktown for The Saturday Evening Post and other publications. Cohen said, "I received a great deal of mail from Negroes and I have never found any resentment from a one of them." The black readership had to be satisfied with any black presence in the popular literature of the day. The best known white writers of black characters included Booth Tarkington (Herman and Verman in the Penrod books), Irvin S. Cobb (Judge Priest's houseman Jeff Poindexter), Roark Bradford (Widow Duck, the plantation matriarch), Hugh Wiley (Wildcat Marsden, the war veteran who traveled the country in the company of his goat) and Charles Correll and Freeman Gosden (radio's Amos 'n' Andy). These writers deservedly declined in the civil rights era, but left a curious legacy that deserves examination. This book, focusing on authors of series fiction and particularly of humorous stories, profiles 29 writers and their black characters in detail, with brief entries covering 72 others.

Twelve poems, twelve stories from our unique everyday life. An intimate, harsh but delicate perspective on life during a pandemic, AI's tricks, humans as functioning brains, fears of failing and loving, a war in Europe and much more inspired by some of the people who populated the author's life in various ways in the last years. Every poem is dedicated to fleeting moments that Irene tried to still for a second in order to dive deep into them. Every event is narrated through the lens of specific lives and feelings: the forgotten territory where things actually unfold. Partial, but real fragments. Collages of pictures, illustrations and text make the words even more vivid and fuel the reader's imagination.
