Scottish illustrator Gillian Gamble brings the natural world to vibrant life with rich colors and poignant detail certain to stretch young minds and engage imaginations. Planet Earth, God made a blue and green sphere, And designed it to orbit the sun once a year. God made daytime and nighttime, climates and seasons, And all kinds of weather that vary by region. God made continents and oceans, islands and seas, A north and south pole that God put in deep freeze. God carved rivers and brooks, mountains and caves, Made beaches with sand and huge crashing waves. God made tropics and plateaus, glaciers and meadows, marshes and tundras and erupting volcanos.

In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5

How Jesus Changes Our Story with His Story Each person's life tells a story. These stories have happy chapters, sad chapters, boring chapters, and exciting chapters. Some people seem to author their own stories, while others have the pens snatched from their hands. Some stories feel hopeless. Can our stories ever be rewritten? Will they have a happy ending? David Murray introduces readers to the StoryChanger, Jesus Christ—the only one who can rewrite human stories with his better Story.

Why must we overcome the world? Why would I need to overcome the earth? Is the world not just this earth that God created? These are the questions we may genuinely have after reading the verse in 1 John 5:5 which asks, “Who is he that has overcome the world?” Although we may not understand it, this scripture is very clear that the world is something to be overcome. If the world were simply this earth, there would not be much more to overcome, than to ensure that we do not drown in the river or the ocean, or to ensure that we do not fall off a tall tree. The “world” is more than a place in which we live. Celebrated author, prophet and teacher, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, in this masterpiece, shows us the evil that actually make up the world, and how it creates a strong pressure against every believer. It is this strong pressure that believers must overcome.
