When Billy Bixbee finds a tiny dragon in his bedroom, his mom tells him, “There’s no such thing as a dragon!” This only makes the dragon get bigger. He grows, and grows, and grows, until he’s bigger than Billy’s house—and that’s just the beginning!

      The Caterpillar and the Polliwog
    • In this book the author examines the New Testament treatment of the resurrection and discusses the Habermas-Flew debate on the pros and cons of an actual physical resurrection of Jesus. Jack Kent offers his own convincing psychological theories and explanations, and opposes the arguments of the theologians Kung, Spong and others. Much of his research is based upon the studies of modern psychiatry and its findings on hallucinations caused by bereavement, which the author relates movingly to the grief and bereavement experiences of people in various walks of life. This book will do much to explain the origin of the Resurrection myth.
