Norma Jean Mysteries:
The Mystery of the Midnight Tea Party
It's been yet another summer chock full of mystery and adventure for twelve year old Norma Jean, and her eleven year old brother, Howard. When a neighbour discovers that a travel trunk contains clues to solving a mystery about British Home Children, the Nielsen children step in to help.
Wednesday Mourning: A Theology of Grief
For one year after the birth of her stillborn son, Norma Bennett journaled the raw and labyrinth-like journey of grief. She had a choice to make. Was she going to cling to the hand of a sovereign God, or despise it and consequently drown in the bitter, dark, fathomless waters into which grief had plummeted her. Sorrow became her companion and through embracing it, she discovered not "why?" but "Who?" and "how?". Through stillbirth, she learned silence. And in silence she heard the Words of Life—a theology of grief. If you don't want to waste your sorrow, then this journal is for you. You will not find a 12-step program or easy answers...you will find a voice for the hidden bowels of your soul.
