Mere Christianity

by C.S. Lewis

HarperSanFrancisco; Harper edition (February 5, 2001)
ISBN-10: 0060652926
ISBN-13: 978-0060652920

1943 England, when all hope was threatened by the inhumanity of war, C.S. Lewis was invited to give a series of radio lectures addressing the central issues of Christianity. More than half a century after the original lectures, they continue to retain their poignancy. First heard as informal radio broadcasts, the lectures were then published as three books and subsequently combined as Mere Christianity. C.S. Lewis proves that “at the center of each there is something, or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks with the same voice,” rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity’s many denominations. This twentieth-century masterpiece provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.

How To be A Baby . . . By Me

by Sally Lloyd-Jones (Author), Sue Heap (Illustrator)

Schwartz&Wade / Random House
ISBN: 978-0375838439

Take it from the narrator of this book, an all knowing big sister: when you’re a baby you don’t read books. You eat them. You don’t know how hold you are, or even if you’re a boy or a girl. And you have to keep a special plug in your mouth to stop your scream coming out. But one day you won’t be little anymore, and then you’ll be taller and smarter, actually quite clever. Like the narrator. And you’ll be able to share memories of what it was like when you were little with your incredible Big Sister. Age: 3-8.
