Breathe : A Child’s Guide To Ascension, Pentecost, And The Growing Time
$16.99
At the heart of Breathe lies a puzzle: How can Jesus go away, yet promise to be with us always? Can we trust someone who comes and goes so mysteriously?
In the style of Make Room: A Child’s Guide to Lent and Easter and Look! A Child’s Guide to Advent and Christmas, Breathe: A Child’s Guide to Ascension, Pentecost and the Growing Time explores the comings and goings of Jesus and the Spirit through retellings of the biblical stories of Ascension and Pentecost, interwoven with contemporary reflections from the point of view of a child.
Moving beyond long ago and far away events, Breathe guides children to wonder about and watch for the presence and work of the Spirit here and now, in practices of prayer and mindfulness, and through acts of justice, generosity, and the sweet taste of kindness.
In the end, the young narrator arrives as a satisfactory solution to the puzzle: the Spirit that was in Jesus is in us too. We are his body now, his way of being in the world. Whenever we choose the way of love, Jesus is there. Always.

Lyle The Kindly Viking (DVD)
$5.00“Oh, My! Determined to present something “classy” for a change, Archibald Asparagus has taken over VeggieTales!
Assisted by those rascally French Peas, Archibald aims for new heights in “veggie programming” by attempting to produce “the world’s first all-vegetable staging of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet,'” the first-ever “Classy Songs with Larry,” and for the grand finale, the world premier of what he believes to be Gilbert and Sullivan’s “lost musical” – “Lyle, the Kindly Viking!”
Of course, working with the French Peas as assistants is a recipe for disaster and in the chaos – and hilarity – that ensues, Bob, Larry and Junior all learn a great lesson about sharing. Archibald, on the other hand, mostly just learns to never again work with the French Peas.
