Little Tucker fi nds himself in a strange world, a world with so many rules and regulations, friends and not-so-friendlies. As Tucker searches for answers, he learns not only about this mysterious farmhouse full of children, prayer, and music, but about himself, how he got there, and what he is supposed to do now that he's arrived. "And He said: Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3 Brought to you by writer, performer and composer Peter Stewart, When Angels Learn to Fly speaks to the lost child in all of us, and calls us to accept the search as part of the journey, and believe that only by being lost and questioning can we truly fi nd the ultimate purpose--to follow the path that God has laid out for us.
From the gruesome ogress in Hansel and Gretel to the hags at the sabbath in Faust, the witch has been a powerful figure of the Western imagination. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries thousands of women confessed to being witches—of making pacts with the Devil, causing babies to sicken, and killing animals and crops—and were put to death. This book is a gripping account of the pursuit, interrogation, torture, and burning of witches during this period and beyond. Drawing on hundreds of original trial transcripts and other rare sources in four areas of Southern Germany, where most of the witches were executed, Lyndal Roper paints a vivid picture of their lives, families, and tribulations. She also explores the psychology of witch-hunting, explaining why it was mostly older women that were the victims of witch crazes, why they confessed to crimes, and how the depiction of witches in art and literature has influenced the characterization of elderly women in our own culture.
