When love and lights collide, two wounded souls find their way through the darkness. Clove Evergreen is the queen of Christmas in Honor Valley. Passionate about community and connection, she has her eyes set on winning the neighborhood Christmas Light competition-earning nationwide acclaim and prize money for military families' programs. There's just one problem; the darkened, lightless, soulless house across the street where her nemesis lives. Miles Winston, a military sniper haunted by a life-altering mistake, lives across the street from the brightest house in the neighborhood. He wants no part in the light show when he'd prefer to remain shrouded in darkness. Too bad his neighbor is determined to cast him in the spotlight, pinning him with those enigmatic eyes of hers and stealing his breath with those shining smiles. But Miles isn't prepared to let go of the shame that has made him cling to the shadows. Not even while Clove keeps showing up trying to drag him into the light. Despite their growing attraction, the friction between Clove's luminescent optimism and Miles' muted sorrow creates an emotional tug-of-war. Clove believes that light and love can heal all wounds, while Miles wrestles with the notion that some scars are too deep for any brightness to reach. Their contrasting worldviews reach a boiling point when Clove's well-intentioned attempts to include Miles in the neighborhood festivities backfire, risking their burgeoning relationship and forcing them to confront whether they can ever truly reconcile their differences. Will they find a way to merge their worlds, or will they remain prisoners of their past, one bathed in light, the other in perpetual shadow?Love on a Holy Night is a part of the Honor Valley Holiday romances; a heartwarming, small town, military romance series that explores the power of love, growth, and healing set during the most magical time of the year!

Ich kam auf Sterne, weil Sterne für mich magisch sind. Sie sind das Licht im Dunkeln und ich selbst kann ohne Nachtlicht nicht schlafen. Sterne verbinde ich mit Magie, Freude und Schönheit. Und darauf baute ich das Sterniversum auf. Ich füllte es mit verschiedenen Planeten und Göttern. Eine Welt, die ganz nach meinem ausgedachten Konzept läuft. Nach meiner Freiheit. Sterne sind unendlich und so auch das Sterniversum. Weil das Sterniversum unendlich ist, sind es auch meine Ideen." ~ Anna-Maria Ziegler

Ein einsames Mädchen, das ziellos durch die große Stadt irrt, und das niemanden hat. Ein kleiner Brunnen, aus dem das Lachen von Schmetterlingen kommt, als wäre es Frühling. Und die alte Kirche, deren Turm sich in der Nacht versteckt. Bis die Musik beginnt¿¿Das tanzende Licht¿ erzählt die Geschichte eines fantastischen Weihnachtswunders. Und es ist ein Beweis. Dafür, dass uns die Dinge berühren, die wir an unser Herz heranlassen. Dass wir uns wirklich fühlen in diesem Augenblick. Wenn wir ganz und gar wir selbst sind. Ganz und gar.»Oh, bitte verzeihen sie mir!«, ruft das Mädchen erschrocken.Mit Lippen, schmal wie ein Strich, starrt sie den Mann an. Mit dem ist sie also eben zusammengestoßen! Sie hört deutlich, wie die dünne Papiertüte in seinen Händen zerreißt. Sieht gelähmt zu, wie der Einkauf auf den Gehweg fällt.Benommen reibt sie sich mit der Hand den Schmerz fort von ihrer Stirn. In Gedanken spürt sie noch einmal den starken Aufprall. Wie grob der Stoff des Mantels gekratzt hat! Sie schüttelt sich.Mühsam ist der Fremde inzwischen in die Hocke gegangen. Hat gestöhnt dabei. Und sammelt jetzt auf, was ihm von den Dingen im Schnee noch brauchbar scheint.Sie hört sein ärgerliches Murmeln. Sieht, wie er grimmig zu ihr herauf starrt dabei.»Pass doch auf!«, versteht sie als Einziges.Aber dann, ganz jäh, richtet der Mann sich auf. Atmet geräuschvoll ein. So laut, dass sie erschrocken zurückweicht.»Ich habe es bestimmt nicht mit Absicht getan!«, flüstert sie bange.

The Last Christmas Tree is a story of putting Jesus's "golden rule" as presented in Matthew 7:12, "Therefore all things what so ever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them," into a real-life situation. Matthew, the owner of the Christmas tree lot, connects with a family in need and puts the rule into practice. He sees the needs of John and his family of four, having lost his wife recently, and he decides he can help them as he would like to be helped if the situation were reversed. In part told from the point of view of the last Christmas tree on the lot, the story progresses through the help given by Matthew with his generosity and the joy and assistance it brings to John and his family despite their recent loss. The story is intended to inspire us to treat others as we want to be treated and to help those in need when we can. Although the situation John and his family are in is sad and painful, Matthew's acts of Christian love hopefully alleviate some of the pain of mourning that the family is feeling and inspire them to go on in Christ's love.

Orthodox churches in Ukraine and Russia share a common ecclesiastical tradition but differ in their views on practicing and interpreting it. To bolster their own views, different Orthodox churches emphasize different aspects of history, and >forget< others, not favorable for their interpretations. These intentional memorizing also influence on the churches' reflection of their position and role in society at large.Interpretations of ecclesiastical tradition also influence the Orthodox churches' reactions to the other churches in Ukraine. Abroad, ecclesiastical organizations, especially ecumenical bodies are also influenced by the Ukrainian Orthodoxy, and have influence on the Ukrainian and Russian Orthodoxy, when recognizing or leaving without recognition the multiplicity of the Orthodox faith in Ukraine and Russia.

Die Hexe Mental war weit mehr als eine außergewöhnliche Erscheinung. Ihre wahre Gabe lag darin, doofe oder komische Gedanken von Kindern in gute zu verwandeln. Ängste, Sorgen und Unsicherheiten waren für sie kein Grund etwas nicht zu können oder zu machen. Im Gegenteil! Sie wollte Kindern zeigen, welche Möglichkeiten sie trotzdem haben. Jedoch ging das nicht mit einfachen Zaubersprüchen. Mental musste sich dann sehr anstrengen. Dies tat sie auf sehr lustige Art und Weise. Wenn sie doofe Gedanken wahrnahm, das beherrschte sie über viele Kilometer, flog sie zu dem Kind hin, setzte sich auf seinen Kopf und aß sie auf! Nein - nicht das Kind! Sie stopfte sich dann alle in den Mund und mampfte, mampfte und mampfte. Sie mampfte so lange, bis ihr Bauch kugelrund war und sie sogar in der Menschenwelt sichtbar wurde. Sehen könnte man sie sonst nur im Regenbogenland und anderen Zauberwelten. Eine Begleiterscheinung bei der Verdauung der Gedanken war, dass Mental davon immer ganz doll pupsen musste. Das war ihr sehr peinlich. Manchmal hatten die Pupse so viel Kraft, dass sie wie ein aufgeblasener Luftballon, den man noch nicht zugeknotet hat und plötzlich loslässt, durch die Luft wirbelte. In ihrer gemütlichen Hütte im Herzen des Regenbogenlandes verbrachte Mental viel Zeit mit dem Studium. Sie probierte Zaubergetränke aus, lernte aus Büchern über Magie und sprach mit den funkelnden Sternen am Himmel. Sie war eine lebensfrohe Hexe, die mit einem Lächeln auf den Lippen durch das Leben schwebte. Mental war stets bereit, anderen mit ihrer besonderen Gabe zu helfen.Zu gerne würde sie dies auch in der Menschenwelt tun. Jedoch musste sie dazu eine Prüfung bestehen. Um diese zu schaffen, hatte sie von den Oberhexen und -zauberern des Regenbogenlandes die Aufgabe erhalten, ein lustiges Halloweenfest zu organisieren. Wenn die Kinder vom Fest begeistert sind und daraus lernen, dann durfte sie in die Menschenwelt, um den Kindern dort zu helfen. Sie wollte diese Herausforderung unbedingt schaffen, obwohl sie zuvor noch nie etwas von Halloween gehört hatte. Es war ihr fester Wille, das tollste und lustigste Halloweenfest zu organisieren, das es je im Regenbogenland gegeben hatte.

"A combination of Henry David Thoreau and Jane Goodall, Carol is a self-taught scientist who has become a tireless defender of sea turtles on Cumberland Island, a national park off the coast of Georgia"--Page 4 of cover.

"[T]ells the thrilling and all-but-forgotten tale of an extraordinary artist and entrepreneur who fought setback after setback to create a wonder of the modern world. The quixotic and visionary sculptor Fraedaeric Auguste Bartholdi not only forged this 151-foot-tall colossus in a workshop in Paris and transported her across the ocean, but battled furiously to raise money for her construction, with little help from France or America. Notables of his age, including Ulysses S. Grant, Joseph Pulitzer, Victor Hugo, Gustave Eiffel, and Thomas Edison, were drawn into his scheme, which became one of the most audacious public projects the world had ever seen"--Back cover.

"Ben, a sports analytics wizard, loves baseball. Eric, his best friend, hates it. But when Ben writes an algorithm for the optimal baseball road trip, an impossible dream of every pitch of 30 games in 30 stadiums in 30 days, who will he call on to take shifts behind the wheel, especially when those shifts will include nineteen hours straight from Phoenix to Kansas City? Eric, of course. Will Eric regret it? Most definitely."--Book jacket.

"A gripping popular history. ... Vivid ... simultaneously fascinating and horrifying" -St. Louis Post-DispatchIn 1903, an elephant named Topsy was electrocuted on Coney Island, and ever since, this bizarre execution has reverberated through popular culture with the whiff of urban legend. But it really happened, and many historical forces conspired to bring Topsy, Thomas Edison, and those 6,600 volts of alternating current together. In Topsy, Michael Daly weaves them together into a fascinating popular history.The first elephant arrived in America in 1796, but it wasn't until after the Civil War that the circus entered its golden age, thanks especially to P.T. Barnum and Adam Forepaugh (or 4-Paw). With fantastic detail, Daly brings this world to life: caravans, crooks, and side-shows. And he captures the life of the animals, both the cruelties they suffered and, when treated with kindness, their remarkable feats. Rich in period Americana, and full of larger-than-life characters-both human and elephant-Topsy is a touching, entertaining read.

Pi tager skolen på sig, er den tredje bog i serien om Pi og hendes rejse fra at være et børnehavebarn til at være et skolebarn. I denne bog bliver hele Pis verden vendt på hovedet. Skolen er nemlig ikke helt nem at finde ud af, synes Pi. I skolen har bogstaverne lyde, mens klokken både ringer ud og ind med den samme lyd. Der er heller ikke altid en voksen til at hjælpe i frikvarteret. Med hjælp fra gode venner, voksne Mor og Far får Pi styr på, hvad det vil sige at være et skolebarn. Og inden længe har Pi både lært at læse og fundet sit helt eget heltemodsmantra. Denne bog er en del af serien om Pi, der handler om overgangen fra børnehave til tidlig SFO og skole. I serien følger vi Pi fra den dag, hun får beskeden om, at hun snart skal i SFO. En besked, som hun modtager med ambivalente følelser. På den ene side er hun ved at vokse fra børnehaven, men på den anden side er SFO og skolen en ukendt størrelse. Vi følger Pi og hendes udvikling helt frem til afslutningen på børnehaveklassen. Pi-bøgerne er skræddersyet til at hjælpe børn med at forstå og sætte ord på deres følelser, samtidig med at de fremmer empati og selvudtryk. Hver bog fokuserer på at hjælpe børn med at sætte ord på de følelsesmæssige udfordringer de oplever, når de siger farvel til en lille tryg hverdag i børnehaven og træder ind i en ny, stor verden. Pi-bøgerne er meget mere en blot højtlæsningsbøger. "Et helstøbt materiale til pædagogers arbejde med overgange." Børn og Unge 6/2024"En række fine fortællinger, som kan være med til at skabe en god og mere tryg overgang fra børnehave til SFO og skole." Lektørudtalelse, DBC.3 i 1 børnebøger Lærerige højtlæsningsbøger: Bøgerne kan læses som helt almindelige højtlæsningsbøger hjemme i sofaen. De kan hjælpe børn med at sætte ord på alt det, de oplever – det sjove, det dumme og alt det som er anderledes. Teoribøger i børnehøjde: Bøgerne giver et børneperspektiv på overgangen fra børnehave til tidlig SFO og skole, og giver et bud på, hvordan forberedelses-, separations- og integrationsfasen samt begreber som læringstab og sense of belonging kan opleves for et barn. Et pædagogiske materiale: Bøgerne kan i sig selv fungere som et overgangsmateriale i overgangen fra børnehave til tidlig SFO og skole, da de foregår i hver sin læringsarena.
