Along the sweeping shores of Cape Cod’s outer beach, where land meets the boundless Atlantic, John Hay’s The Great Beach unfolds as a meditative journey into nature’s elemental presence. Through poetic observation and ecological insight, Hay captures the quiet drama of waves shaping dunes, the flight of gulls against wind-polished skies, and the ever-shifting patterns of sand and sea. This work is not just a celebration of coastline beauty, but a profound reflection on solitude, scale, and the continuity of life across centuries. Blending memoir, natural history, and environmental philosophy, Hay evokes the timeless dialogue between humans and the wild, unyielding rhythms of the ocean edge. His prose invites listeners to slow down, to walk with him across the tide line and listen deeply—not only to the water and wind, but to memory, presence, and belonging. The Great Beach stands as a cornerstone of American nature writing, offering a reverent portrait of Cape Cod that remains as relevant and resonant today as when it was first written. For those who find solace in salt air and meaning in natural silence, this audiobook offers a contemplative retreat into the raw poetry of place."
"What On Earth Can I Do? is the fourth book in the homeschool What We Believe curriculum series. What children believe is important–it shapes who they are and the choices they make. But it’s growing increasingly difficult for them to understand what is true and what isn’t. They are inundated with competing messages about truth and every song, show, book and game offers its own version of morality, identity and faith. This course is designed to equip your student with the ability to understand the truth about God, the story He is writing in the world, and how He wants to work in and through them.
Curriculum OverviewWhat On Earth Can I Do? is a study designed to help your student understand how to rightly relate to God and follow Him with their whole heart. Through engaging lessons and activities, your student will learn what it means to love and follow Jesus and be a “good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23). Some biblical truths they’ll encounter in this course include:
- God owns all things because He created and sustains all things
- He has entrusted me with certain gifts and wants me to use these gifts for His glory
- I honor God by using my money and possessions wisely
- I glorify Him by investing my time and talents wisely
- My body is not my own but has been bought at a price
- God expects me to care for His creation
- God will reward me for my faithfulness"
