| Dewey By Vicki Myron |
 |
Dewey's story starts in the
worst possible way. Only a few weeks old, on the coldest night of the year,
he was stuffed into the returned book slot at the Spencer Public Library. He
was found the next morning by library director, Vicki Myron, a single mother
who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an
alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by
pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in
a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped
charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility, (for a
cat) and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most. |
| The Shack by William P. Young |
 |
Mackenzie Allen Philips'
youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and
evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned
shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his
Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God,
inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment
he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his
darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. In
a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant "The Shack"
wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with
unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps
transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read
this book! |
| Liberty and Tyranny by Mark R.
Levin |
 |
In the face of the modern
liberal assault on Constitution-based values, an attack that has steadily
snowballed since President Roosevelt's New Deal of the 1930s and resulted in
a federal government that is a massive, unaccountable conglomerate, the time
for re-enforcing the intellectual and practical case for conservatism is
now. Conservative beliefs in individual freedoms do in the end stand for
liberty for all Americans, while liberal dictates lead to the breakdown of
civilized society -- in short, tyranny. Looking back to look to the future,
Levin writes "conservatism is the antidote to tyranny precisely because its
principles are our founding principles." And in a series of powerful
essays, Levin lays out how conservatives can counter the liberal corrosion
that has filtered into every timely issue affecting our daily lives, from
the economy to health care, global warming, immigration, and more -- and
illustrates how change, as seen through the conservative lens, is always
prudent, and always an enhancement to individual freedom. |

The Lightning Thief
(Percy
Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1)
By Rick Riordan |
 |
There is no such twelve-year-old boy as Perseus 'Percy'
Jackson. The Greek gods are nothing more than old myths. They certainly
never have children with mortals in the 21st century, nor is there any such
place as Half Blood Hill, a summer camp for demigods on eastern Long Island.
Percy never met a satyr or a daughter of Athena. They most emphatically did
not take a quest together across the United States to reach the gates of the
Underworld and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods. |
