This poetry book is a mirror of the mind, reflecting, in an anxious intimacy, both how broken and how hopeful the author is.

When we are young, we live for fairy tales: stories of princes and princesses, witches and ogres, magic and love. Growing older should never mean growing duller. Fairy tales offer life lessons, but, perhaps more importantly, these stories are a call for readers to open themselves up to a chance at enchantment. In this book, twelve popular tales are brought to a new life as poet Jessa R. Sexton condenses them each into sonnet form and illustrator Rehanna Mae Grant captures the characters in a fantastic portrait style. This version of the book is intended for all ages and carries full text versions of the classic fairy tales, by Grimm, Andersen, Wilde, and more, as well as the sonnet versions by Sexton. Also included are mini-essays about each fairy tale. A brief sonnet lesson appears in the back of the text. This book is a great teaching and learning tool for students, teachers, or anyone who loves stories.

As a mom, I know the clash between the desire to be in God's Word and the desire to fulfill the motherly-myriad of other demands. I like to read devotional books, but a couple of items are important to me. First of all, I want a length that is daily-doable. But, at the same time, I want something with depth. I also want strong scriptural references that will make me think about my walk. And I do like it when a reading leads me into prayer time. This book meets my personal needs on all those levels, and I know, from talking to other mothers, that these needs aren't only mine. This book revolves around two of the most important things in my life: my children and my God, connecting the two as I bring my children and their future before the One who told me to ask, and it will be given (Matthew 7:7).

The New Testament begins with an explosion of heavenly messengers-angels of joy with glorious announcements. Angels told of the birth and parts of the infancy narrative. These proclamations came to the humble of spirit: a country priest, lowly shepherds of Bethlehem, a Galilean carpenter, and a maiden from Nazareth. Filled with hope, comfort, and praise to God, the promises shared a beautiful truth: the fulfillment of Isaiah 9:6. "Unto us a child is born...His name will be Wonderful."
