David
by Ross TaylorThe Bible describes King David as "a man after God's own heart," and his reign is considered the golden age of ancient Israel. David unified the 12 Hebrew tribes, established a powerful central government, expanded Israel's borders through a combination of diplomacy and military conquest, and laid the foundations for an Israelite monarchy that would endure for centuries. David was far from perfect, however; his fits of temper and sinful behaviors often resulted in tragic consequences. But David's weaknesses, and his trust in the Lord, demonstrate the power of God's forgiveness. King David continues to be a source of fascination and inspiration 3,000 years after his death.

He combined his superb artistry with deeply observant poetry, carved onto his pots, transcending the limitations he faced as a slave.

Dave at Night
by Gail Carson LevineThe next song was slow, and the trumpet was more important than the piano. I closed my eyes. The trumpet purred and hummed, and sometimes it sang so sweetly it could have been a lullaby. I leaned my head back against the wall behind my chair. I wondered if Irma Lee knew how to do the Charleston. I didn't know anything about dancing. But if I tried it, I knew she wouldn't laugh at me.<P>I'd be her friend, just like I promised I would. I'd be her friend even if I had to climb down the walls of the asylum to go to see her.

For Deutsia was a Melungeon—one of a strange clan of mountaineers, about whom nobody knew too much. The valley people believed all sorts of legends about the Melungeons, and would have nothing to do with them. But first love is stubborn, and young love is strong. Dave found a way to be with Deutsia—for nothing could part the two lovers except God. Jesse Stuart unfolds the story of this idyllic love that conquered hate and fear against the calm and beauty of the Tennessee mountains where Nature in all her glory heals the wounds inflicted by men.
