Hanging Out with Jesus by Bob Hartman

Pip, one of the disciples, retells the adventures he had while hanging out with Jesus in this fun, quirky yet informative story from the master storyteller Bob Hartman.

Big Bart, Tommo and me, Pip. Three guys on a three-year adventure. Hanging out with Jesus. Finding out what he's up to. Not exactly the best known of the twelve disciples, but we're on the edge of the action - out of the limelight, where there is plenty of partying, messing about and time to make an idiot of yourself. We're best mates. And Jesus' mates, too. These are our adventures; stories you'll find in the Bible if you take a look.

Well, sort of, because everything is just a little bit different when you're hanging out with Big Bart and Tommo.

Runaway Starlight Animal Rescue by Dandi Daley Mackall

Where problem horses are trained and loved, where abandoned dogs become heroes, where stray cats become loyal companions. And where people with nowhere to fit in find a place to belong. This spin-off of the successful Winnie the Horse Gentler series introduces us to teens living in a foster family who deal with anger, betrayal, death, and illness while caring for abandoned animals.

They discover God's love as they search for answers to life's questions. Dakota doesn't want to warm up to her new foster family; in fact, she plans to run away as soon as she gets the opportunity. Just as her plans to escape unfold, she falls in love with a horse that others have just about given up on. She accepts the love of her new family as well as the love of God through a series of events.
