Описание:
Eerie and haunting as feral children at play, this brilliant collaborative collection coheres around themes of childhood, technology, consent, and pleasure. Each story concocts a complete world, believable characters steeped in complex ethical dilemmas, at once humorous and disturbing, compassionate and distorted. Parents build children byte by byte; children vanish into subterranean classrooms where recess is their only hope of engineering an uprising; a bee enrolls in school to escape the groupthink of the swarm. I loved reading this sly, edgy collection. It made me look for hidden seams, signs of an imaginary world as dazzling and delirious as this one.
--Carol Guess, author of Doll Studies: Forensics and With Animal
If the Magic School Bus was driven by Kelly Link, you'd end up in The Classroom, a space between Nth period daydreams where your growing pains leap from cubby holes just to share their pudding. These fantastical lessons should be on everyone's reading list.
-- Sequoia Nagamatsu, Where We Go When All We Were Is Gone
Wherever The Classroom's astonishing teacherly tales begin--the arrival of an android child, a substitute teacher who instructively time-travels his students, a school that uproots from the earth and floats into the sky--they will always reroute you right back to yourself, brilliantly, with grace, in style, on a wonder-trail of grounded, glimmering truth. Diehl and Goodrich have given fabulism a bravely compassionate glow. These stories lead with and land in the heart.
- Joseph Scapellato, author of The Made-Up Man and Big Lonesome
This collection is a wonder. From a classroom of young magicians to a school that untethers itself from the earth and floats into the stratosphere, Dana Diehl and Melissa Goodrich draw us into educational spaces filled with boundless curiosity and extraordinary imagination. In The Classroom, the entire world is a tutorial filled with awe. These stories are absolute magic.

Описание: When Linda Balfour, a young mother, is found butchered in small-town southern Illinois, a coded inscription stamped in blood on the back of her head brands her mutilated body. With his career - and his life - on the line, Vail needs answers fast before the killer signs someone else`s life away.
In a 1987 commencement address at Duke University, broadcast journalist and news anchor Ted Koppel entertained the audience with his observation about the Ten Commandments: "What Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai were not the Ten Suggestions. They are commandments." Unfortunately Mr. Koppel was wrong on both counts. In the Hebrew text, the translation is properly "words" or "sayings" rather than "laws" or "commandments." This part of the sacred text was initially referred to as the "Decalogue" or the "Ten Words" of God, and today some continue to choose the specific terminology of the "ten words" for its characterization.
Unlike most legal codes the "Ten Words" provide neither enforcement guidelines nor consequences for their violation. These "Ten Words" were the preamble to the Torah, the Jewish law, and became synonymous with legal requirements and codes of conduct among the Hebrews. In association with Jewish law, the Decalogue eventually was identified as the "Ten Commandments." Their character to guide behavior and to proscribe conduct was firmly established over the centuries and was wholly adopted by the Christian faith.
Blessed is the star of joy That God may send our way. It draws us ever closer, Sends us to our knees to pray.
We must not see it as a cloud But as a ray of light. A star of joy from heaven That will bless us in His sight ... -jody diehl
God not only loves us as our Father, but also as our Creator and Shepherd. His love is what gives us joy, peace, comfort, hope, strength, and wisdom. No matter what happens during our earthly lives, God will never leave or forsake us. His grace will sustain us, and His mercy endures forever.
In a collection of inspirational poems, jody diehl shares God's messages that allow spiritual seekers to gain a deeper understanding of Him and their faith. Her poems reflect on all the ways that God is present in our lives, why we should believe in miracles, and why He sometimes sends stars from heaven. Included within her verse are scriptural passages that guide seekers to find further inspiration within the pages of the Bible.
The Heart That Loves Us shares moving poetry that gently reminds all of us that we are dearly loved by our heavenly Father.
