The key is hearing His voice and obeying, even in the midst of difficult situations-like recovering lost passports or the seemingly ridiculous act of sticking a green leaf in your ear. -Larry and Jean Johnson Only God is a collection of stories about God's extraordinary intervention and divine work through the lives of two ordinary people. Larry and Jean grew up in Iowa, married right out of high school, and each pursued their respective "dream" jobs: farming and nursing. When they separately heard "the call" to worldwide missions, they thought it was farfetched-until they couldn't ignore God's summons anymore. For readers who enjoy spectacular God stories with God moments, who want to learn how to hear God's voice better, and who desire to see Him work in their own lives, this compelling memoir will lead you deeper into the heart of God.

When Terrific Timothy Tree Climber begins, Timothy has climbed up a tree to hide from a classmate who followed him home just to tease him. He gathers the courage to confront his classmate, but when it ends unexpectedly, Timothy runs away, unsure of what to do. The next day at school, he learns that the classmate was injured and, believing the injury was because of his awkward confrontation, he uses his courage to tell the truth-even though he knows he might get in trouble. But, in the end, he might learn that his teaser really just needed a friend after all.About the AuthorAs a child, Jean Johnson could frequently be found climbing trees in Illinois. She had a tree fort high up in an oak tree in her backyard and a tall maple tree she would escape to so she could put her imagination to work. She started writing in order to help kids have fun reading and develop active imaginations. When Johnson's tree-climbing days came to a close she moved to California to attend college, became a nurse, married, and had four wonderful grown children-seven including her daughter-in-law and two sons-in-law-and four granddaughters. She treasures time playing with family and reading and playing with her granddaughters.

Before the Sons of Destiny came to be, shapechangers ruled the heart of a shattered empire and navigated the uncertain shifts of fate…Years have passed since there was any sighting of Family Mongrel on the Shifting Plains. Yet traces remain, and they lead south into the Correda Mountains. As a favor to his brother and sister-in-law, Kenyen Sin Siin has taken it upon himself to track down these hints from the past and make sure the curs have not survived. The trail grows colder, more tangled, until he's trapped in a valley where not everyone is as they seem. He will either adapt and survive or be uncovered and perish before his mission is complete. Wary of strangers and distrustful of the unfamiliar, Solyn Ys Rei and her best friend have formed a secret resistance. One of a rare few with the ability to stand up to and evade enemies, she must still tread with great caution, particularly when even her best friend starts acting oddly. Allies could be enemies lurking in disguise, and a stranger's face could hide a new foe as easily as a new friend.
