Download and read online ebook The Little Crescent Moon and the Bright Evening Star write by Walter J. Humann. This book was released on 1996-12-12. The Little Crescent Moon and the Bright Evening Star available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This delightful, beautifully illustrated children's poem was written on Christmas Eve, 1996 for the author's grandchildren. On that date a rare celestial event occurred - a full moon appeared on the night of the Nativity. It is speculated that there was a full moon around the time of the birth of Christ. A full moon will not occur again on Christmas Eve until the year 2026. This fanciful story is about the Little Crescent Moon, who is sad because of its dim light and small size. It feels insignificant compared with the Bright Evening Star nearby. God counsels the Moon to prepare for Christ's coming, to be confident in its own abilities, and to honor God in its own unique way. This colorfully illustrated book is entertaining as well as educational. It teaches the valuable lesson that each of us can praise God in different ways. This book is excellent as a Christmas gift or for use by parents/grandparents, Sunday School and kindergarten teachers and day-care personnel.

Raymo's commentaries amplify the maps, offering intriguing details and tips on identifying stars, planets, and constellations.

Download and read online ebook The Collected Works of G.K. Chesterton write by Gilbert Keith Chesterton. This book was released on 1986. The Collected Works of G.K. Chesterton available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Throughout his life, Gilbert Chesterton always had a propensity for throwing his genius around. As a result of this tendency, Chesterton penned articles, essays, stories, and poems for so many periodicals that it was almost impossible to keep track of them. In this volume, Dr. Denis J. Conlon, Professor of English Literature at the University of Antwerp, has compiled Chesterton's short stories--some of which have never appeared in print. Many stories will be new to Chesterton fans because they were originally published in England and never appeared in U.S. editions, and others published in the U.S. remain unknown on the other side of the Atlantic. Dr. Conlon also includes the lost Father Brown stories, "Fr. Brown and the Donnington Affair" and "The Mask of Midas". There are 43 short stories here, along with a selection of 25 complete and incomplete tales from Chesterton's notebooks, and numerous drawings and illustrations. Some of the stories in this wonderful volume are: "The Coloured Lands," "The Sword of Wood," "The Trees of Pride," "How I Found the Superman," "The Five of Swords," "Homesick at Home," and "The End of Wisdom." With illustrations.
