For anyone going through grief, loss, hurt, or trauma, A Path Through Pain guides readers through their first steps toward healing. Ed and Lisa Young, pastors of Fellowship Church, know the kind of grief that no one should have to suffer—the death of a child. With deep vulnerability, they tell the story of their family''s journey through sorrow and anger to hope and healing after the tragic and sudden loss of their daughter. Having been through the worst, they began to realize how many others were dealing with similar hurt, doubts, and uncertainties and asking the same questions: How can I move through this period in my life? Can I restore my trust in God and see His presence in the midst of suffering? Is there a purpose to pain, even if I can''t see it yet? In A Path Through Pain, the Youngs will offer you a language and a voice to speak about your pain and a way to see that you don''t walk this path alone. They''ll walk you through concrete ways that daily acts of faith can restore your hope in the faithfulness and power of Jesus Christ. God really does care for us, and in the darkest of places, his light still shines to show us a way through.

*"Awe-inspiring artwork as powerful as any force of nature."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) From Caldecott Medalist Ed Young comes a picture book retelling of Aesop''s fable The Wind and the Sun. Once upon the sky, there were three powers--the Wind, the Rain, and the Sun--each claiming to be the mightier than the others. One day, the powers came upon a shepherd girl fast asleep upon a hill, so they made a bet to see who could make her take her cap off. Who will be the strongest of them all? Rendered in exquisite mixed-media collage, Caldecott Medalist Ed Young''s gorgeous and deeply poignant retelling of the well-known Aesop''s fable The Wind and the Sun, proves that sometimes gentle persuasion and kindness are the best virtues of all. Praise for The Weather''s Bet: "Lyrical and profound." --School Library Journal "A good classroom readaloud."--Publishers Weekly

In this deeply personal book, artist and author Ed Young explores twenty-six Chinese characters, each describing a feeling or emotion, and each containing somewhere the symbol for the heart. Through stunning collage art that interprets the visual elements within each character, Young uncovers layers of emotional meaning for words such as joy and sorrow, respect and rudeness. He invites children to probe the full range of their own emotions, and gives parents, librarians, and older readers a context for discussing ethics and for examining the silmilarities and differences between old and new, East and West. Voices of the Heart is a truly unique exploration—or as Young writes, "adventure"—into the different moods, and dangers and abilities of the human heart.

The predominant message in our culture is that it''s okay to have sex whenever, wherever, and however we want. Sex has become just sex. But while society has taken sex too far, the church hasn''t taken it far enough. God wants couples to make love in marriage-with passion, with purpose, and with pleasure. Marriages aren''t experiencing all the benefits that come from a healthy sex life. Couples are facing a barrage of influences that keep them from connecting with each other regularly-the kids, the career, the house, the errands, etc. SEXPERIMENT shows people that sex in marriage is more than just sex, and it''s more than a chore. The Youngs believe it''s time to get back to understanding the context of sex in marriage and that it''s time for couples to break the barriers keeping them from a healthy sexual relationship. Couples ought to experience the benefits of having sex regularly, intentionally, and creatively. SEXPERIMENT will allow couples to discover that the intersection of God and sex can lead to a life punctuated by exclamation marks!

I knew nothing could happen to us within those walls, in the house Baba built. In Ed Young''s childhood home in Shanghai, all was not as it seemed: a rocking chair became a horse; a roof became a roller rink; an empty swimming pool became a place for riding scooters and bikes. The house his father built transformed as needed into a place to play hide-and-seek, to eat bamboo shoots, and to be safe. For outside the home''s walls, China was at war. Soon the house held not only Ed and his four siblings but also friends, relatives, and even strangers who became family. The war grew closer, and Ed watched as planes flew overhead and frends joined the Chinese air force. But through it all, Ed''s childhood remained full of joy and imagination. This powerful, poignant, and exquisitely illustrated memoir is the story of one of our most beloved children''s illustrators and the house his baba built.
