Stowaway...In the year 1718, Daniel Collins, a well-brought-up young Philadelphian, can only dream of exchanging his orderly existence as a shipyard apprentice for a life at sea. Daniel is certain he'll never find a way to make his dreams a reality, especially since there's a chance he'll inherit his uncle's successful shipping business one day. When the opportunity arises, Daniel is surprised to find that he has the courage to stow away on a ship bound for southern waters; a ship in search of the pirates who are terrorizing merchant vessels all up and down the Atlantic coast. The Sea Turtle may look docile, but hidden beneath her decks is an arsenal of weapons, and her crew's assignment is to bring down pirates by any means. As a Quaker, Daniel has sworn not to take up weapons against any man. But it's possible that the most dangerous enemy of the Sea Turtle may be someone Daniel knows all too well. Will he cast aside his Quaker principles in order to help defeat the most notorious pirate of his time?Robin Moore deftly weaves a tale of treachery on the high seas in this coming-of-age adventure that is as exciting as the era in which it is set.

Robert Moore holds nothing back in his journey towards God and away from religion. Sheep: Leaving the Flock and Finding God, is the story of one man's journey to understand God. From surviving salvation at a young age, Bible College as an adult and then full time ministry, Robert discovers there is something more to Christianity, something more to having a soul and something more of God. "The only way I found to break free of Religion was to become an atheist. I had to throw away all I had been taught about the god of my youth in order meet the God of my adulthood. I had to be brave enough that after throwing everything away, and there was nothing left, including God, I had to be OK with it. If I have learned anything in my journey with God, it is that I am loved."Tho it would appear from the onset, Sheep is just another book about a hurt and resentful person who believes he has been discarded by the church, Robert constantly reminds the reader, he is just as much to blame for the dysfunction in organized religion as anyone else. "Every story I say from here on out, every defect of others I point out, every form of corruption I strip naked, I share the guilt as with the others 100% and for this I am sorry. I blindly followed and never questioned. I tithed, fasted, prayed, and served as I was instructed. I was a good follower of man, but failed as a follower of God."Through humor and biting wit, Robert takes on his journey of finding God and the joy of being found by a creator who was not judgmental or vain.

Here are twelve traditional stories of young men and women who found courage, cunning and compassion in the natural world. The great American writer Henry David Thoreau said, “In wilderness is the preservation of the world.” In these wild tales, we enter two landscapes at once: the landscape of the imagination and the landscape of the natural world. From the African grasslands to the Arctic tundra to the North American wilderness, each of these tales invites us to open ourselves to the gifts that the wild world can bring. In listening to these stories, we are preserving both worlds at once. --from the introduction to Running with the CaribouThis story collection is part of The Family That Reads Together Series, a selection of Robin Moore’s most well-loved books, designed to be read aloud, in the old-fashioned tradition of family evenings by the fireside.
