“Thomas’s rhyming reflection on the place Jesus has in a young boy’s life still provides inspiration and comfort to today’s readers.” —School Library Journal A classic for over half a century, If Jesus Came to My House is a tender tale of how a young boy realizes that he can welcome Jesus into his life by helping all people both young and old. This rhymed reflection provides refreshing insight on how we all can learn to be respectful, courteous, giving, and loving toward others. The original two-color illustrations by Henri Sorensen bring the simple inspirational message of this story to life. For generations to come, parents and children will find inspiration in Joan Gale Thomas’s classic book time and time again.

The many traditions and legends of Jesus’s travels to Britain are deeply impressed into our culture, thanks particularly to the famous allusion by William Blake. These tales tell that, while still a boy, Jesus accompanied his uncle Joseph of Arimathea - an importer of metals - on expeditions to Cornwall to engage in the tin trade. Later, it is said, Jesus made additional trips in which he visited the location of the Druid’s school of learning, Glastonbury. These are charming and romantic stories, but do they have any historical foundation? Using the work of fellow researchers as his starting point, Glyn Lewis studies the locations that Jesus is said to have visited - from Cornwall to Somerset - and produces some striking evidence, presented here in combination with his own fine photography and some useful maps. Lewis’s original research is combined with broad and insightful analysis of the existing material, making a convincing case for Jesus indeed having walked “upon England’s mountains green”.

From an early age, Athena Scarfone has held a deep love for Jesus. By age six, she realizes that her grandmother has the gift of spiritual insight, and as she grows, Athena comes to understand that she also possesses this divine gift. Throughout her life, she has premonitory dreams. Every vision God shares with her comes to pass, filling her with wonder and love for his grace. When she's in her thirties, however, she has a prophetic dream that terrifies her. In the dream, Jesus tells her that she will have a party to go to on August 7, which she understands to be the day of her death. Years pass, with Athena always becoming fearful as the date of August 7 approaches until, in her sixty-third year, she is diagnosed with breast cancer. This, she believes, will be her final August 7. Athena prepares herself to meet Jesus, unaware of the amazing miracle he has planned. A beautiful and powerful true story of God's love, A Visit from Jesus will change the lives of all who read it, opening their hearts to the faith and miracles of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
