When Uriah Tarhund's Hititte home is destroyed by invading Greeks, his dying father tells him to go seek a Canaanite named Sisera. "He will help you. For my sake...." When Uriah reaches Judea and saves a young boy from being sacrificed to Molech, he is given succor for a time by the Hebrews. Later, he finds Sisera and joins him in war against these same people. When the Canaanites are defeated, the young Hittite has the opportunity to come to a peace with himself, the Hebrew people and their God.

A never-before published tale by the author of the best-selling Hittite Warrior, carries the reader back to Ancient Egypt and biblical Jerusalem. It is 701 B.C-rule of the Kushite dynasty in ancient Egypt. Young Prince Taharka, a very minor royal son, succeeds unexpectedly to the throne of Kush and Egypt-a "divine" rulership. It's not long, however, before a treacherous plot pushes him into sudden exile and into the hands of Amos, an emissary of King Hezekiah seeking help against the Assyrians. Posing as a medical assistant, Taharka journeys with Amos to Judea where he encounters two kings in conflict. His true identity suddenly uncovered, he must choose with whom he will fight-the mighty Assyrian, Sennacherib, promising alliance or Hezekiah, the Jew who trusts in Yahweh. A novel inspired by research on the historical King Taharka and his period.

Once a dominant force in the ancient world, the Hittite Empire is now on the brink of collapse. Uriah Tarhund, a young Hittite warrior, soon finds his village in smoldering ruins and the empire crumbling. His only hope of survival is to seek the aid of Sisera of Canaan, his father’s ally. But the road to Canaan is long and the times are perilous and Uriah is waylaid along the way. A warrior without a nation, Uriah’s adventures bring him amongst both the Canaanites and the Hebrews and ultimately into the brewing war between them as he seeks his own survival...

How Rockets Fly, Student’s Edition, illustrates through rocket design how technical books are written, and how mathematical expressions come to be, with a systematic seven step approach to problem solving. How Rockets Fly is a series of colorfully illustrated interactive labs intended for grades 4-6 aimed at helping children learn and apply problem solving techniques for math and science in a way that is both powerful and fun for children. How Rockets Fly illustrates through rocket design how technical books are written, and how mathematical expressions come to be. How Rockets Fly incorporates many of the Learning Standards taught for proficiency testing and applies these standards to rocket design with a systematic approach to problem solving. Upon completion of the labs, the students will predict the stability of a rocket and certify it for flight. Then they will test their theoretical skills with empirical data as they watch their own rockets fly! Many of the Math and Science Learning Standards taught for proficiency testing can be found in How Rockets Fly and applied to rocket design, flight, and descent. The Student’s Edition is a companion book to the Teacher’s Edition and includes an appendix including: Rocket Cutout Templates, and additional graph paper.
