    Are you tired of looking for great Christmas gifts at the big box
    stores & want influence change with your purchases? A Christian
    bookstore that offers much more than just Christian books, rather,
    myriad Christian gifts that offer something for your soul as well as
    supplying something for your earthly needs.

    When you purchase from goodnewsbooks.biz you show that you support
    Christian business & Christian goals in life. This store is not like
    others that look to do nothing more than increase their own profit,
    rather, it is a business that is apart of a grassroots movement,
    redirecting the buying power of the Christian community back into the
    Kingdom of Christ! Shoppers that are tired of supporting anti-Christian
    agendas of secular companies who’ve stolen away 88% of the Christian
    products industry form the Christian community by buying up Christian
    bookstore chains and Christian publishing companies. Drive your
    Christian dollars into the pockets of churches, ministries and Christian
    families where they belong. GoodNewsBooks.biz uses its profits to help
    build God’s Kingdom here on Earth.

    Now, I can tell you all about the bargains on this site from Bible
    study tools to Bibles, Christian home schooling products & Church
    supplies, but, that is something you will have to see for yourself. It’s
    not enough for me to tell you about how you can find a gift for everyone
    in the family here because it is your family that will benefit from
    gifts that reinforce Jesus’ teachings. All which gives you the piece of
    mind knowing it is coming from a store that holds the same values as you
    & your family.

    Christmas gifts here range from something you can give your
    teachers to simple Christmas cards to giving something that Mom & Dad
    both can use & appreciate. So rather than going to Best Buy this year or
    Kmart for your nativities & stocking stuffers spend you’re hard earned
    money at a Christian bookstore that appreciates you & your religious beliefs.

    If you are like me, you will probably read just about any book that crosses your path. I cannot help it I love books, all different types of books. Two of my favorite types of books to read are travel books and horror books. Therefore, I really fell in love when I came across a combination of both in some of the greatest books I have ever read.

    Creepy Crawls: A Horror Fiend’s Travel Guide by Leon Marcelo is a travel guide to cinematic and literary horror locations. The book explores with spine-tingling detail vile movie locations, macabre as well as morbid city offerings. It tells of the resting place of Bela Lugosi and the haunts of Edgar Allen Poe. Within this book, you can travel to the spooky Maine locations that are featured in the works of Stephen King. The book includes travel tips, photographs and even trivia about hundreds of places all over the United States that have a horrific appeal.

    Another book I truly enjoyed was Haunted Holidays by Laura Foreman. Haunted Holidays reveals the mysterious paranormal world in the United States. Spectral sightings are investigated with informative essays on everything from the witch haunts in Salem to the battlefields of the Civil War. It even has advice on techniques and tools for the wannabe ghost hunter.

    So how did it begin all those years ago? The idea for Penguin Books was the brainchild of a gentleman by the name of Allen Lane, who was the creator of quality paperback in 1935 and the man who changed the world of childrens books and childrens poetry forever.

    Puffin Books were first created in 1939. The one of the first Puffin Books was about a man who had broomsticks for arms by the name of Worzel Gummidge. Kaye Webb, the editor for Puffin Books, began the Puffin Club in 1967, promising to turn children into readers. The Puffin Club is just one of the ways that Puffin Books has won over the hearts of millions of readers and it is still alive and well to this day.

    It is the hopes of everyone at Puffin Books that readers will look back on Puffin and smile. Either via a journey to Treasure Island or an adventure with Artemis Fowl or The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Charlie Bucket. With all of the endless possibilities one thing remains certain, it does not matter if it is a picture book, paperback, hardback or sticker book, if it comes from Puffin Books it is sure to be great.

    Jhumpa Lahiri, whose parents are both immigrants from India, was born Nilanjana Sudeshna on July 11, 1967 in London, England. Her family migrated to the United States of American when she was only three-years-old. Jhumpa Lahiri grew up in Kingston, Rhode Island. Her story, “The Third and Final Continent” is based on her father, who was a librarian at the University of Rhode Island. Her family frequently visited Calcutta, India, because her mother wanted her to grow up familiar with her Bengali heritage.

    When she started kindergarten, her teacher began calling her Jhumpa because it was simpler to pronounce than her given name. The incongruity of her identity was the inspiration for the primary character in her novel The Namesake.

    Jhumpa Lahiri is a graduate of South Kingstown High School and has a Bachelor’s degree in literature from Barnard College. Jhumpa Lahiri has also received several degrees from Boston University including a Master’s degree in English, a Master’s degree in Creative Writing, a Master’s degree in Comparative Literature as well as a Doctorate in Renaissance Studies. Jhumpa Lahiri also took up a two-year fellowship at the Provincetown’s Fine Arts Work Center. She also taught a creative writing class at Boston University and Rhode Island School of Design.
