"No girl's allowed! No girls are allowed to work in the racing stables . . . Not even with your aunt's permission!" How many times had Callie heard the man say it? Not that Aunt Edna would ever agree anyway. Aunt Edna always said that horse racing coming to Texas brought "the devil amongst us," but Callie figured she knew better. The horses were so beautiful and the races so exciting, it just couldn't be bad. Callie also knew something else—even though she was a girl, she must find a way to be a stable boy.

This book places Saint Augustine's theology in a new and illuminating context by considering what he has to say about beauty. It demonstrates how a theological understanding of beauty revealed in the created, temporal realm enabled Augustine to form a positive appreciation of this realm and the healing power within it. It therefore reintroduces aesthetics alongside philosophy and ethics in Augustine's treatment of God. Unlike previous works, it shifts the emphasis away from Augustine's early and most theoretical treatises to his mature reflection as a bishop and pastor on how God communicates with fallen man. Using his theory of language as a paradigm, it shows how divine beauty, revealed in creation and history, serves to inspire fallen man's faith, hope, and most especially his love--thereby reforming him and restoring the form or beauty he had lost.

It’s not easy being a baby-sitter when you’re playing detective, too! Katie thought baby-sitting would be fun! Katie was thrilled when Mrs. Stellan called and asked her to baby-sit for the evening. She had never done any baby-sitting before, but she was sure she could take care of three-year-old Annie. After all, Katie had watched her brother plenty of times. This would give her some real job experience—and she'd be paid for it, too! But Katie's first baby-sitting job doesn't turn out the way she'd planned. Something is missing from the Stellans' house, and though it wasn't her fault, Katie's sure everybody's blaming her. It's bad enough that hardly anyone believes her—but now mean Michelle is telling everyone at school what happened. Katie knows she's got to get to the bottom of the mystery soon. Because if she doesn't, she may never be hired as a baby-sitter again! "...the clues are well placed, the pace is lively, and the characters nicely realized. Tolles also integrates a warm boy-girl relationship for added appeal." —Booklist
