God in my everything / Shigematsu, Ken

Ken Shigematsu shows that spiritual formation is more than just solitude and contemplative reflections. Spiritual formation happens in the everyday, in each and every moment of life. For those caught up in the busyness of work, family, and church, it often feels like time with God is just another thing on a crowded "to-do' list. Ken explains how the time-tested spiritual practice of the "rule of life" can help bring busy people into a closer relationship with God. He shows how a personal rule of life can fit almost any vocation or life situation. In God in My Everything, you will discover how to create and practice a life-giving, sustainable rhythm in the midst of your demanding life. If you long for a deeper spirituality but often feel that the busyness of life makes a close relationship with God challenging-and, at times, seemingly impossible-this book is for you.

Operation cupcake : how simple machines work / Edlund, Bambi

Two clever (and hilarious!) mice use physics to retrieve a tasty treat. Ginger and Mac are pros at snatching up delicious tidbits and bringing them back to their mousehole to eat. Today, though, their mission is complicated. Their target is a vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting. Only, it's (a) too big for them to carry, (b) within leaping distance of the resident cat and dog and (c) under a heavy glass cake dome. Luckily, these mice love a challenge. Ginger is sure they can use simple machines to get the job done. But is she right? Operation Cupcake is both a laugh-out-loud adventure and a "paws-on" introduction to simple machines. What could be better for learning science?
