| This book is a story of the world. It is a slice of history measured by the lifetime of Captain John Smith, a small, courageous Englishman who was born in the days of Queen Elizabeth I and whose heart, he said, had been forever 'set on brave adventure.' This is a very successful and welcome addition to Mrs. Foster's three other horizontal treatments of history in which she presents, along with historical events, a total picture of the world - religious, cultural, social, and economic-during the span of one man's life. As in the others, many drawings add much to the attractiveness of the volume and are in keeping with the lively, authentic text. |

| The Friendship Club: Strawberry Shortcake's friendship letter to children around the world elicits an invitation from Crepes Suzette to visit Pearis and the Pieffel Tower. Some of the other children and Custard are not so sure that it is wise to visit a strange land a place where people and customs are 'sooooo different,' but Strawberry assures them that seeing the world through different eyes is one of the best things about making new friends. A Festival of Friends: Friends from all over the world, the Arctic, France, the Rainforest, China, descend on Strawberry Land to take part in the first Great Friendship Festival. Although Strawberry thinks the festival will provide a wonderful opportunity to see the world through different eyes, she also believes that in spite of their differences, in the end most of the kids will be the same and like the same things. |

| Prayer was a way of life for Adrienne von Speyr, one of this last century's great Catholic mystics. In this major work on prayer, edited by Hans Urs von Balthasar, Adrienne discusses the many aspects and kinds of prayer, the vocation of every Christian. 'The fundamental theme of this work is that prayer, like everything else that comes to man through God's self-revelation in Christ (such as grace; faith, hope and love; or the realtionship between Christ and the Church), is ultimately rooted in God himself and in his triune exchange of life. 'Beyond all purely creaturely motives and needs, Christian prayer is a participation in the inner life of the Trinity, which is revealed, prepared and accomplished in the world by Jesus Christ our Lord. By him it is made available for us to take part in. 'This book is much more than a manual on how to pray. It gives an in-depth description of prayer: first the prayer of the Trinity, then the prayer of Christ, then of the Blessed Virgin, and finally that of all Christians. In particular, the section on the prayer of Mary is a masterful description of the various stages of growing in prayer. Mary is the perfect model because of her intimate association with her Son. '"What is found here in this book is rich enough to rekindle genuine prayer life in the Church and to give a powerful impetus to the theology of prayer." "Hans Urs von Balthasar ''"There is so much rich material for meditation in this book. Von Speyr shows that prayer, like the soul's sharing in the life of the Trinity, is always new, fresh, and exciting, since God continually gives the soul an expectation of fulfillment, only to go far beyond what was expected, to fulfill superabundantly. That is the unique characteristic of this book"revealing that prayer is life itself, always new, dynamic, an adventure whose foundation is in the very life of the Trinity." "Douglas G. Bushman, S.T.L. , Author, Meeting God in Your Heart |

| A good prayer makes you think, and it may even make you laugh! These prayers have been collected from every corner of the world and though the words may differ from country to country, the same universal themes of love, forgiveness, and hope run through them all. There are prayers for night and day, graces for mealtimes, and blessings too. Beautiful illustrations help to make this a perfect first prayer book for young children. |
