Then, Now, and Forever documents the author's personal messages he received from God through his nightly dreams. The author began experiencing these special messages from God at a very young age. He did not understand that the dreams were messages from God until adulthood. Sharing those dreams with his wife, Patty, she insisted that he journal the messages he was receiving. Hal ignored his wife's advice until about twenty years ago when the dreams became very persistent. At that time, Hal began following Patty's advice and sat down and began writing his dreams which eventually resulted in the book Then, Now, and Forever. Then, Now, and Forever is a Bible reference book. This book is a compilation of inspired notable biblical facts portrayed to the author in his dreams. Then, Now, and Forever is meant for those who do not have the time or patience to search the Bible for the answers they desire. The subject matter contained within the book is varied and is intended to help each individual understand and answer personal questions pertaining to the Bible. It is Hal's hope that those who read Then, Now, and Forever will find the reference an asset to fulfilling their desire to better understand the scriptures.
Winner of the 2021 Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award! In this moving story that celebrates cultural diversity, a shy girl brings her West African grandmother--whose face bears traditional tribal markings--to meet her classmates. This is a perfect read for back to school! It is Grandparents Day at Zura's elementary school, and the students are excited to introduce their grandparents and share what makes them special. Aleja's grandfather is a fisherman. Bisou's grandmother is a dentist. But Zura's Nana, who is her favorite person in the world, looks a little different from other grandmas. Nana Akua was raised in Ghana, and, following an old West African tradition, has tribal markings on her face. Worried that her classmates will be scared of Nana--or worse, make fun of her--Zura is hesitant to bring her to school. Nana Akua knows what to do, though. With a quilt of traditional African symbols and a bit of face paint, Nana Akua is able to explain what makes her special, and to make all of Zura's classmates feel special, too.
