Miriam Raber enjoys life in her Old Order Amish community, and she is hopeful that Saul Fisher will propose to her soon. Miriam secretly vows to follow Saul no matter what the future holds. She never thought that future might take them away from their Amish community.

Through My Eyes

One of the best quarterbacks in the history of college football traces his path to success, discussing his childhood as the son of Christian missionaries and how his faith combined with his drive to succeed have made him the person he is today.  

The Cross

When Billy Graham and his Team announced they were coming to San Francisco for a Crusade in 1958, many Christians were skeptical. The heart of the city was just too hard for the seed of the Gospel, they said. How wrong they were! The city was changed by it. This is one of his sermons from that Crusade. Also included is a documentary on Louis Zamperini, who gave his testimony at the same Crusade. Mr. Zamperini was Olympic star and World War II hero who found salvation in Jesus Christ at my father's 1949 Los Angeles Crusade.

The Violet Flash

One moment she was there, the next moment she was not, and Ches Cholmondeley was watching when it happened. And he learns of other mysterious goings-on: for three days in a row the world's atomic clocks have lost a second, resulting in bizarre accidents ranging from dropped casseroles to plane crashes. Are these events related? What's a brother to do? Figure out a way to get his sister back, of course.

VHS Give Aways

Technology is improving at almost exponential speed.  It really wasn't that long ago we had books in our library on audio cassette tapes.

Within the last ten years, we deleted those from our collection because they were rarely checked out.  People preferred books on CD rather than audio cassette.



Now it appears another of our friends may soon be leaving us.  We browsed our VHS shelves the other day and were very surprised to find the majority of the tapes had not been circulated in the last two years!  That meant it was time to "weed" and we pulled a LOT of them.  The good news for you is we are giving them away for free but we don't know how long they will last.  You can find them while we have them on the back of the return cart by the circulation desk.

Any new videos we purchase will be DVD format.  An advantage to those is they are thinner so we gained some shelf space.



Writing about this took me down Memory Lane.  I remember our first VCR.  We purchased it about 31 years ago.  Our older daughter was still a toddler.  Do you remember how exciting it was to be able to record TV shows to watch again at a later time?  One of the cutest stories was when my inlaws had visited and saw the VCR for the first time.  Bill had begun recording a show and his mom said (loudly enough for all to hear), "You all be quiet now so we don't hear you on the tape."  She was unaware it didn't have an eternal microphone and if it had, of course her voice would have been recorded.   Do you have any favorite VCR/VHS memories in storage?
