C. S. Lewis was one of the greatest Christian Writers of our age. His "Screwtape Letters" still stirs considerable controversy. He wrote from the perspective of a devil giving advice to another devil in how to tempt a Christian. In doing so, he reveals to us how we let evil into our own lives. Lewis's work has influenced three generations of Christian thinkers and will continue to be a seminal Christian work.

Natural, playful, or vintage? No matter what your outfit calls for, Beyond Beading has an answer. A trip to the seashore can end in a beautiful shell necklace. An afternoon antiquing can mean a mother of pearl bracelet by tomorrow. With eclectic materials and a few simple pages of instruction, any adornment is possible.

Create stylish adornments for your neck, your wrist, your handbag, and your clothing with these 25 creative jewelry projects from renowned crafts consultant and designer Erika Knight.

For novice jewelry makers and anyone who covets the hottest must-have accessories, Beyond Beading is Erika Knight’s latest contribution to the craft world. In it, she turns her skilled aesthetic eye—honed for years in her sumptuous, timeless knitted and crochet designs—to the art of jewelry making. Working with fellow craft practitioner Joy Fox, and using materials as diverse as driftwood and pebbles, pom-poms and crocheted flowers, antique glass and vintage buttons, Knight has created projects themed as “Natural,” “Playful,” and “Vintage.” These themes make it possible for women of varied tastes to find—and fashion—the perfect accent for different outfits and occasions.

Most of the 25 pieces (including 8 from Joy) involve only easy techniques for threading and knotting in a variety of fibers, such as cord, wire, suede, hemp, ribbon, or leather—while a few also include other clearly explained craftwork such as basic wrapping, knitting, and crocheting. All of them are showstopping.

Since 1845, millions of parents bought 'Struwwelpeter,' a book that threatened their children with the consequences that befall the disordered and disorderly. Thumbs are sheared off, eyes fall out of sockets, faces are pecked to death and bodies waste to nothing.

Though castigated in recent years for its sadistic approach to child-rearing, 'Struwwelpeter' remains a cultural phenomenon...translated into many languages, the subject of a popular Geerman museum, and the unmistakable influence of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factor,' which also disposes of wretched kids in rhyme.

The Feral House edition includes Sarita Vendetta's macabre illustrations to Heinrich Hoffmann's verse, the entire original edition in color, 'Struwwelpeter-inspired wartime propaganda titled 'Struwwelhitler,' and a revealing introduction by Jack Zipes, an authority on folklore and children's literature, whose journal, 'The Lion and the Unicorn,' devoted an entire issue to Heinrich Hoffman and 'Struwwelpeter.'

Jews, Christians, and Muslims trace their roots to Abraham, but the course of that lineage is not the same for all three faiths. Judaism and Christianity view Isaac, the son of Sarah, as the offspring of Abraham through whom the family line is continued. Islam, on the other hand, sees Ishmael, son of Hagar, as the rightful heir who carries on the family name. The two sacred texts of these religions, the Bible and the Qur'an, have much in common, highlighting the close relationship that exists between the two lines of Abraham's family. This book examines some of the themes, figures, and episodes that are shared by the Bible and the Qur'an. It is an introduction to the Qur'an for the descendants of Isaac, who are invited to listen to and learn from the way Ishmael and his descendants retell the family stories.
