The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend

I love Beekle!  This story features an imaginary friend who has not yet met the real child who will be his friend.  After a great deal of waiting, Beekle takes matter into his own hands.  The subsequent discovery of the perfect friend provides a tale that can be appreciated by young children as well as adults.  Colorful, engaging illustrations enhance the text.

Get Your Story Straight – Kristen Hatton

Get Your Story Straight is a 52 week devotional geared toward teens and young adults.  There are five activities each week which focus on the same scripture and are highly accessible.  This devotional would be a great text for a small group study.

A Chameleon, a Boy, and a Quest – J.A. Myhre

A Chameleon, a Boy, and a Quest is a powerful tale of enchantment that is filled with action as well as themes from the gospels.  Written by a doctor who has served as a medical missionary in East Africa, the story takes place in an environment similar to the villages in which she works.  Although the book is written to appeal to children with animals that speak and a few well chosen illustrations, this tale of discovery, redemption, and sacrifice is a great read for adults as well.
