When Jesus told his followers how much we all need God's love, it was not a theological treatise. Instead, he told a story: "There once was a man who had two sons..." The simplicity of this famous parable belies some richly profound truths. The story Francis Thompson tells in his classic poem The Hound of Heaven works in exactly this way-stirring our hearts with a yearning we may not fully understand. Something comes through the poem that we cannot quite put our finger on... This book actually contains two versions of the poem, the original and a modern adaptation. Despite the depth and beauty of the poem, it is written in a vernacular difficult to understand. Our rationale for the adaptation of this masterpiece is to reveal its timeless beauty and insights for a broad, modern audience.

The Winning Edge From Bret Hall, Former USWNT Assistant Coach One of the significant benefits of participation in any athletic program are the life lessons of lasting value that can be learned. In this emblem book, Bret Hall, a soccer player, and Brian Oxley, a wrestler, have teamed up to share some of the life lessons they have learned through their experiences in the athletic arena. While these lessons were learned through the grit and sweat of tough athletic competition, their impact goes far beyond the locker room. In fact, they even reach beyond the physical realm into the moral and spiritual realm, penetrating deep into the soul.

Nobody likes a timeout, especially children. But what happens when Grandpa, of all people, comes to visit the kids and needs one himself? Emblem Media’s is happy to offer its first children’s book with this delightfully illustrated tale, Grandpa’s Timeout. The story follows the arrival of a wacky Grandpa and the hilarity that ensues as he attempts to provide “over-the-top” entertainment to his three grandkids. His continued inability to remember that he is supposed to be the adult leads to humorous and increasingly disastrous results. It’s been an Oxley original family favorite story for years.
