New Veggie Tales DVD - A Snoodle's Tale

Title:  A Snoodle's Tale - A Lesson in Self Worth
Call number: DVD[C] VEG











There's a curious building in the middle of Snoodleburg. It's a clock tower where every fourth Tuesday at quarter past nine a tiny young Snoodle is created, complete with a pack on his back. None of the Snoodles take time to question this "mystery of life," until one day the newest Snoodle, Snoodle Doo, asks himself, "What do I look like? What am I for?"
So begins this Snoodle's quest to discover the meaning of his life. He tries out the gifts he finds in his backpack: paints, a kazoo, and tiny wings. But as he tries to put these gifts to use, the other Snoodles laugh, make fun of him, and burden him with pictures of discouragement. In search of answers, the Snoodle wanders up to the top of Mt. Ginchez. There he meets a stranger who shows the little Snoodle that he is wonderfully and fearfully made in the image of his Creator. Just like this Snoodle, kids too will discover that it's God's pictures they must carry in their hearts at all time.

In addition to the fairy tale about Snoodle Doo, you'll get to see the story of Dr. Jiggle and Mr. Sly, a story about a jiggly Jimmy Gourd and a mysterious, disco-dancing stranger. And Larry's back with the newest Silly Song with Larry, in which he sings about his beloved sport-utility vehicle!

New book - Nearing Home by Billy Graham

Title: Nearing Home: Life, Faith, and Finishing Well
Author: Billy Graham
Call number: 249.9 GRA










Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life,” says Billy Graham, known by many as God’s Ambassador. “I would have never guessed what God had in store for me, and I know that as I am nearing home, He will not forsake me the last mile of the way.”

In Nearing Home this man of faith—now in his nineties—explores the challenges of aging while gleaning foundational truths from Scripture. Billy Graham invites us to journey with him as he considers the golden years while anticipating the hope of being reunited with his wife, Ruth, in his heavenly home that eclipses this world. “When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice,” says the author. “Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Join Billy Graham as he shares the challenges of fading strength but still standing strong in his commitment to finishing life well.
