Alzheimers : We Were There But So Was God
$14.99
Alzheimer’s disease has a devastating effect on its victims, those who suffer from it directly and those loved ones who try to care for them to the end.
In this book Gwen Bibber Kimball uses powerful words to paint indelible images and contrasts to explain the ravaging effects of Alzheimer’s on her beloved husband Dave. Taken from her personal journal, Gwen shares witty and delightful accounts of the humorous moments to the excruciating pain of going beyond reasonable limits as a caregiver. Her poetic expressions of her deep faith in God and the stability of family and friends to the utter aloneness in coming to terms with what happened following Dave’s death will touch your heart.
Gwen is amazing in her astute assessments of each plateau of the disease and what it meant for daily life, booth good and bad. Her book touched me deeply. I have glimpsed the anguish of two families forever changed.

Love You Forever
$8.95A Firefly Books title
The mother sings to her sleeping baby: “I’ll love you forever / I’ll love you for always / As long as I’m living / My baby you’ll be.” She still sings the same song when her baby has turned into a fractious 2-year-old, a slovenly 9-year-old, and then a raucous teen. So far so ordinary–but this is one persistent lady. When her son grows up and leaves home, she takes to driving across town with a ladder on the car roof, climbing through her grown son’s window, and rocking the sleeping man in the same way. Then, inevitably, the day comes when she’s too old and sick to hold him, and the roles are at last reversed. Each stage is illustrated by one of Sheila McGraw’s comic and yet poignant pastels.

Complete Chronicles Of Narnia
$29.99The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis, is one of the very few sets of books that should be read three times: in childhood, early adulthood, and late in life. In brief, four children travel repeatedly to a world in which they are far more than mere children and everything is far more than it seems. Richly told, populated with fascinating characters, perfectly realized in detail of world and pacing of plot, and profoundly allegorical, the story is infused throughout with the timeless issues of good and evil, faith and hope. This boxed set edition includes all seven volumes.
