Ultimate Grace – a true story of frisbee and faith in Japan By Levi Booth, 10Publishing, £2.99 “It was an odd feeling, lining up against Great Britain. I used to dream that I might one day play for them; I had never thought that I would end up playing against them. But I had no time to dwell on the unexpected journey that had led me here, their puller raised the disc: the next point was about to start.” If you thought being a missionary meant wearing socks and sandals, living in the jungle, and having no phone or Internet, then think again. Levi Booth is not a stereotypical missionary. Not long out of uni, Levi headed to Japan with his two essentials: his Bible and Frisbee. He was just a normal bloke with a passion for Ultimate Frisbee who stepped out boldly to tell people about Jesus. This is his journey to Asia: the ups, the downs, the adventures and playing for the Japanese national Ultimate Frisbee team. Stories Jesus Told By Tim Dowley, Candle Books, £15 (for a pack of five) Here is a book that young children will love. Parents will find it very useful on long car drives, in Sunday school, for awards, and even just on a rainy afternoon at home. The puzzles and activities are based around the stories Jesus told. They include dot-to-dot, ‘spot the difference’, colouring, ‘match the pairs’, ‘put the story in the right order’, mazes, ‘complete the drawing’, and ‘spot the deliberate mistakes.’ At the bottom of each page the Bible story that the activity is from is explained. 23
