History of the Ancient World: A Global Perspective
Summary
The ancient world has cast a long shadow, influencing our customs and religious beliefs, our laws, and the form of our governments. It has taught us when and how we make war or pursue peace. It has shaped the buildings we live and work in and the art we hang on our walls. It has given us the calendar that organizes our year and has left its mark on the games we play. Grasping the full scope of your bequest from the ancient world can't help but give you a more nuanced base from which to make decisions and choose pathways in your own life. These 48 lectures take you on a multidisciplinary journey that ranges across not only the traditional domains of politics and war that are normally the province of history courses, but also those of religion, philosophy, architecture and the visual arts, literature, and science, and more. You'll examine the ancient world's greatest civilizations from the Mediterranean, Asia, and the Americas - including those of Rome, Greece, China, Persia, India, and the Maya - not in isolation but in the full context of where they came from, the cultures that flourished around them at the same time, and the civilizations that were to come from them. Taking a comparative approach, Professor Aldrete's course includes in-depth analyses of not only key individuals and historical moments, but also history's most important themes, from the nature of rulership and the evolution of religion and philosophy to the practice of warfare and the expression of power through art and architecture. With its mix of nuanced interpretation, vivid description, and constant attention to exploring history as a coherent whole, this is sure to be one of the most informative and thought-provoking history courses you have ever taken. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Ida Scudder: Healing Bodies, Touching Hearts
Summary
Ida stamped her foot. Her friends were wrong. "I will not be a missionary to India like my parents!" she retorted. "Don't any of you say I will be, because I won't - never, ever, ever." Ida had never forgotten the faces of starving Indian children. She hated India - it was full of horrible situations she could do nothing about. Ida Scudder was sure she would never follow in the footsteps of her medical missionary father. But when she witnessed Indian women dying because their religious beliefs didn't allow male doctors to treat them, Ida heard herself pray, "God, if you want me to, I will spend the rest of my life in India trying to help these women." Serving for nearly 60 years, Dr. Ida Scudder lived out the truth and compassion found in Christ. She pioneered a first-rate medical school and hospital, brought life-saving health care to rural people, and left an inspiring legacy that still touches millions of people each year with healing and hope. (1870-1960)

God, Don't You Care?
Summary
Have you been waiting on God and feel like you have no answers? Have you been praying, but you still haven’t seen your situation change? How do you handle God’s waiting room? How do you continue to trust and wait in hope when it feels like you can’t handle one more day of disappointment? This is not a question you would normally ask. In fact, you may feel ashamed to even acknowledge it. You keep hoping and believing in faith that your circumstances are going to shift, but the longer time goes on and you don’t see your circumstances change, the more it builds, until finally, it bursts out of you....”God, don’t you care?” You’re not alone. King David - a man after God’s own heart - asked many similar questions because he learned something we lack: God isn’t afraid of your hard questions. If you’re in the middle of the storm right now, this book is for you. It won’t patronize your pain or give you all the cliche "Sunday School" answers you‘ve been accustomed to hearing. You don’t need to feel ashamed of your questions, but instead you can walk through the steps of how to navigate the pain of struggle from a biblical perspective, without ignoring the taboo but real questions you struggle with. Chelsey Dollman is a Christian writer who lives in the heart of the Cowichan Valley, Canada. Her desire is to see people set free, be encouraged, and live a life of freedom. She has a BA and a BEd, and enjoys teaching in many varied capacities. She now spends her time with her friends and her family, hiking trails and seeing the beauty of God in the creation around her.

A Wolf for a Spell
Summary
The Girl Who Drank the Moon meets Pax in this fantastical tale of a wolf who forms an unlikely alliance with Baba Yaga to save the forest from a wicked tsar. Since she was a pup, Zima has been taught to fear humans - especially witches - but when her family is threatened, she has no choice but to seek help from the witch Baba Yaga. Baba Yaga never does magic for free, but it just so happens that she needs a wolf's keen nose for a secret plan she's brewing... Before Zima knows what's happening, the witch has cast a switching spell and run off into the woods, while Zima is left behind in Baba Yaga's hut - and Baba Yaga's body! Meanwhile, a young village girl named Nadya is also seeking the witch's help, and when she meets Zima (in Baba Yaga's form), they discover that they face a common enemy. With danger closing in, Zima must unite the wolves, the witches and the villagers against an evil that threatens them all. "Karah Sutton has crafted a vivid and rollicking adventure that proves a wolf doesn't have to be big or bad to win the day!" (Rosanne Parry, New York Times best-selling author of A Wolf Called Wander)
