The Arkansas Traveler:
Music from
Little House on the Prairie
NASHVILLE, TN-- "The Arkansas Traveler" has been released. This does NOT mean that a dangerous criminal is on the loose. To the contrary, the news is quite good.
Eighteen songs are woven into "Little House on the Prairie", many of them among the greatest in 19th Century American music. This recording gives new voice and sound to the music from a classic book, music which has remained silent on the page for far too long.
To read the book and hear the music adds fresh, emotional depth to a familiar story, as Wilder herself wrote, "if you want the spirit of these times, you should [hear] these old songs."

Happy Land:
Musical Tributes to Laura Ingalls Wilder BREAKING NEWS:
"Happy Land" Honored byNational Endowment for the Humanities:
Added to Prestigious "We The People Bookshelf"
“There is one thing that will always remain the same to remind people of little Laura’s days on the prairie, and that is Pa’s fiddle.”
--Laura Ingalls Wilder Embedded in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s stories are references to 126 separate songs and tunes. Happy Land is the first in a series of musical tributes to Wilder (1867-1957) for her efforts to illuminate, explain, and capture the place that music-making once occupied in the family life of ordinary Americans.
This first installment of the Pa's Fiddle Recordings pays homage to the spiritual aspect of life on the prairie.
In her famous series of eight Little House® books, Laura traces her own family’s history, against the musical background of her father, Charles “Pa” Ingalls (1835-1902), who missed few opportunities to sing and play his fiddle. Whether it's parlor songs, stage songs, minstrel show songs, patriotic songs, Scottish and Irish songs, hymns, spirituals, fiddle tunes, singing school songs, play party songs, folk songs, a Child ballad, broadside ballads, Christmas songs, catches and rounds, or cowboy songs--all are threads in the harmonic tapestry woven by “Pa’s fiddle.” Carefully wrapped, stowed in a cushioned-by-pillows box, it accompanies the Ingalls family through all their adventures, symbolizing the endurance of the family unit in an often wild and threatening frontier world.

Happy Land Companion
Songbook
The Happy Land Companion is a sheet music compilation of the songs from the Happy Land CD. Includes guitar chord symbols and piano music where applicable.

The sights and sounds of Christmases past come to life in this beautiful gift book with compact disc.
With foil, embossing, and a rich, saturated four-color interior full of classic Victorian images, A Victorian Christmas is perfect as a gift, eager for a coffee table to adorn with its winsome design. Inside, readers are greeted by inscriptions from postcards and Christmas cards, poems and prose from the early twentieth century, and the enclosed CD paints a holiday atmosphere of soft, simple Christmas songs performed by acclaimed mandolinist Butch Baldassari. The result is an experience of Christmas from a bygone era, a unique way to say "Merry Christmas."

Love Trumps Karma™ by Karyn Henley
Uncovering the Truth You Know You Know
(Young Adults, Teens, Youth Ministry and Adults)
This ground-breaking book by Karyn Henley guides young people (and the adults who care about them) in coming to terms with their own Christian faith in an increasingly pluralistic culture--a culture largely unfamiliar with the Bible and the accepted tenets of Christianity.
Their Hindu, Buddhist, and New Age friends seem kinder, more accepting and generous, and less judgmental than some Christians they know. And Christians are supposed to be the most loving people on earth!
Many of these friends see the Bible as a rule book for a religion that is narrow-minded and condemning. Some say that there is no absolute truth.
They talk a lot about good karma and bad karma (reaping the results of what you sow). And they’re right--
They’ve got karma.
You’ve got karma.
Like it or not, we’ve all got karma.
But that's not all that humankind has in common.
In Love Trumps Karma, you will do a "head-gut" check to uncover what we all know we know, and find out what you really believe--and why. You will understand why faith in Jesus is truly unique among world beliefs and how you can express your faith in a language that you and your friends can understand.
"Love Trumps Karma is written on a personal level, not over my head which is common with other books on similar subjects. A question I've always had is 'what makes Christianity different and subsequently better than all of the other religions out there.' ...Karyn addresses many of the things I’ve found myself thinking about but not knowing how to verbalize. This book put all of that into focus."
Will M.
Senior, University of Florida "In the sea of confusion called Pluralism or Post-Christian culture, Karyn Henley offers us a wonderful navigation map for crossing the sea to meaningful life. Anyone searching for TRUTH and a better way of living in this world will benefit from these words."
John York, Professor of Preaching and Bible
Lipscomb University, Nashville, TN
"When confronted with explaining my beliefs...I've fumbled for words and always seem to present a thought-process that only muddied up the explanation...Karyn is able to articulate, in a clear and concise manner, what I have tried to communicate to others when confronted with explaining my beliefs...I am anxious to pass this one along to others! "
Mary M.

Our society is pluralistic, post-Christian, post-biblical. Yet we are intensely interested in spirituality. But which belief system is worth buying into?
If you were shopping for a religion, which would you choose?
Is God an impersonal Essence? Or is God a personal Being?
Can you even prove there's a God to begin with?
People may choose a religion because a friend or family member recommended it. Or perhaps because someone they admire believes in it, or a celebrity or sports figure says it's the greatest.
Checking-Out the "Isms"
But choosing a religion, a world-view that is going to guide major life decisions, is pretty important. Is it a decision that should be left to personal and cultural influencers? Or should it be a more informed choice?
This new book from Karyn Henley gives you an opportunity to "stroll the mall" of religions, finding out what's being sold and what it costs. Equip young people (and adults) for the real world experience of growing a living faith in a loving God in the midst of a global culture.
Arranged in 14 concise chapters, this is a great study for individuals and small groups. FREE Downloadable sample chapter (pdf).

Ages 8 - 11 BRIDGE-QUEST: Why I Believe In Jesus
A 13-lesson study for Grades 3 thru 5 (ages 8 - 11) This study can also be used with FOUNDATIONS Curriculum (ages 8-11) and as a companion to The Compass.
Lead your kids on a quest to find the bridge to God!
This quest has been man's deepest desire since the beginning of time, resulting in the many popular religions from all over the world. But not until Jesus Christ did for mankind what they could not do for themselves, was the bridge to God created.
BRIDGE-QUEST helps children find the bridge for themselves, leading them to know without a doubt why they believe in Jesus as the Christ.
BRIDGE-QUEST is an economical, self-contained 13-lesson teacher’s manual which includes reproducible handouts, interactive projects, and creative ideas for students to explore the concepts presented.
BRIDGE-QUEST follows two tracks during the course:
Track 1 - Who God is and what has He done for us through Jesus.
Track 2 - Overviews of the world's most prominent religions to show people's perceptions of the Highest Power (God) and how they attempt to connect with it.
Karyn Henley has designed BRIDGE-QUEST to do for children ages 8 thru 1l what her ground-breaking book, Love Trumps Karma, does for teens and adults--present a foundational apologetic they can understand in the midst of a post-modern, post-Biblical culture.
BRIDGE-QUEST: Why I Believe in Jesus Item # BQ1 . . . . . . $12.99
Ages 8 - 11 The Compass for Finding Our Way in the World - a hike through the apologetic of Perfect Love - A 13-lesson study for Grades 3 thru 5 (ages 8 - 11)
And sometimes our kids seem to experience more kindness and generosity from their Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim friends than from some Christians they know. Sometimes these friends say the Bible is just a rule book for a religions that is narrow-minded and condemning. How do kids who believe in Jesus respond? Do they know why they believe in Jesus?
The Compass is a 13-week curriculum for ages 8-11 that explains why Jesus Christ is the answer to every person's search for Truth (with a capital "T").
Children will learn a fresh defense of the Gospel (an apologetic) that serves as a compass pointing to God (who is Perfect Love, our "true North"). They will also learn ways to be reminded of this apologetic and share it with their friends.
The Truth You Know You Know
Jesus Verified in Our Global Culture
by N. Kenneth Rideout
“Every youth leader in America should have this book on their must read pile!...What do you say when you share the gospel with people who don’t value the Bible? Ken gave our students the tools to share God’s love with people of all faiths. A must read for every American teenager wanting to own the Christian faith! Ken Rideout is made for this young post-Christian generation.”
Anthony Chaboya, Pastor of Mosaic Youth Community
Belmont Church, Nashville TN
Do you believe that Jesus is God in human form, that He lived a sinless life on earth, was killed on a cross, rose from death, and lives today, bringing salvation and the hope of eternal life to the world?
You truly believe all this? Prove it.
After 44 years as a missionary in Thailand, Ken Rideout returned to the U.S. and found that even pastors respond to these questions with stunned, blank expressions. He also found:
Our world view reshaped by new cultural influences
New Age thinking on the rise
Growing atheism and pluralism
Millions of believers no longer attending church
Most Christians are not equipped to address these changes. But if we cannot prove Truth for ourselves, how can we prove Truth to others? What we have not realized is that Truth verifies itself. How? The answer is simple, respectful, powerful, and based on the Truth we all know we know. And it is the single most important message on the planet today.
As a missionary in Asia for 44 years, Ken Rideout planted churches throughout Thailand, taught in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China, and helped establish the Bible training program at Youth For Christ in Hong Kong.
Ken holds B.S. degrees in Bible from both Florida Christian College and Abilene Christian College and a Master’s Degree in Theology and Missions from Harding Graduate School of Bible and Religion.
He worked on his doctorate in missions at The School of World Missions of Fuller Theological Seminary.
