Hardback. Condition: Good. It isn't that Abby Carson can't do her schoolwork. She just doesn't like doing it. And in February a warning letter arrives at her home. Abby will have to repeat sixth grade--unless she meets some specific conditions, including taking on an extra-credit project to find a pen pal in a distant country. Seems simple enough. But when Abby's first letter arrives at a small school in Afghanistan, the village elders agree that any letters going back to America must be written well. In English. And the only qualified student is a boy, Sadeed Bayat. Except in this village, it is not proper for a boy to correspond with a girl. So Sadeed's younger sister will write the letters. Except she knows hardly any English. So Sadeed must write the letters. For his sister to sign. But what about the villagers who believe that girls should not be anywhere near a school? And what about those who believe that any contact with Americans is . . . unhealthy? Not so simple. But as letters flow back and forth--between the prairies of Illinois and the mountains of central Asia, across cultural and religious divides, through the minefields of different lifestyles and traditions--a small group of children begin to speak and listen to one another. And in just a few short weeks, they make important discoveries about their communities, about their world, and most of all, about themselves.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. It was the first mega church known around the world for its Kingdom theology, excellent musical expressions, dramatic presentations, integrated congregation, and the massive neo-gothic sanctuary called the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. With the death of its founder, Archbishop Earl Paulk, amidst public scandal and a diminished financial base, the entire Cathedral properties were sold. The authors, Bishop Kirby and Sandra Clements, remained a part of the ministry until the very end and the remaining leaders and remnant congregation relocated to another site. This is their record. It answers some fundamental questions and provides wisdom and understanding. This is not a record of scandals but their observations of the grace and mercy of the Lord and the stewardship of a people. Come and navigate the journey with them. …
