The Carnival is coming to town! Bill Donovan is a man with a problem. As the frontman of Donovan's Delights Entertainment traveling carnival, the season started off pretty much like every other traveling season. That was, until the cancellations started. What began as a normal season of bringing excitement to communities along the route ends up being a summer short on locations and long on bills to pay. With the concern of taking care of his responsibilities, namely his employees, as well as his own family, he feels the pressure. Everything looks bleak until the mayor of a town that no one has heard of calls him out of the blue, with an offer Bill can't refuse. What follows is a tale of uncertainty and fear, where the stakes are high and the consequences everlasting.

A Marriage Made in Heaven was written by Jack E. Smith Sr. to share with his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren (if the Lord tarries his coming that long), friends, and others how God can take two young lives that are sold out to him and bless them immensely. They do not have to be called into some type of full-time service in order for God to be willing to use them in various ways throughout their lives. God's blessings continue through the years, for we serve the same living God today that we served in the 1960s. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Praise his holy name!The book is basically about their lives together and how God brought them together and provided for their every need throughout their time together. There is much information in the book that couples will find interesting and very possibly helpful in their relationships and marriages.

Facing up to the challenges of our changing climate goes much deeper than erecting a few wind turbines and switching to a Honda Prius - it challenges the very heart of our, social, cultural and economic models. The transition before us will require active involvement from everybody. What if we can find new ways of working that are actively beneficial - methods of building, farming and living that lock carbon away in plants and soils - while also meeting the needs of the 7 billion of us? If each person can have a net beneficial impact on planet and climate then maybe, at this moment when we are facing our greatest challenge, the many hands available to us will become a big part of the solution.The One School One Planet project has been working to bring some of these ideas into the mainstream school curriculum, and this small book is a record of our efforts at achieving this. www.llanfyllin.sector39.co.uk
