As you may be aware, this week the entire board had the opportunity to meet for three days and work on some of the pressing issues facing Sovereign Grace Ministries right now. Some of you prayed for our retreat and we thank you for that kindness. (And thank you for your patience as communication here on the blog slowed down, too.) As we walk through this situation together as a family of churches, your partnership and prayers make all the difference for those of us in leadership.
Looking back on our retreat, I'm confident that God answered many of your prayers for us, and the silence on the blog was a stark contrast to some of the ways God seemed to be speaking to us. Let me add how enriched we are by having the regional leaders contributing on the board level. We not only are benefitting from their wisdom and experience, but we feel we are getting a much better sense of your thoughts and perspectives from these men, and for that we are very grateful.
These are some of the other things I'm most grateful for from the past few days:
These discussions are still the beginning of what is shaping up to be a defining moment in our history as a family of churches. God is most certainly at work, and there is much for us still to learn, as well as to apply as a result of the things he is showing us. Please keep praying for us and all the Sovereign Grace churches as we pursue what God has for us in this season.
One other thing: I know a few of you are wondering about the blog post on C.J.'s ministry qualification that we planned to post this week. In short, our senior pastors gave some great feedback on how our approach to the article could improve, and it simply wasn't possible to get it revised amid everything else we had to do last week. Lord willing, we'll give an update on that topic soon.
For those of us involved in leading Sovereign Grace Ministries through this difficult season, the challenges can loom pretty large. But whenever I step back and look at who we are as a family of churches I find the promise of Romans 8:28 gives me perspective.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
One of the things that has come through from even our strongest critics is that as we respond to the Lord in a way that pleases him, there can be great good that comes from this present experience. So it's not hard to see through the eyes of faith how this season is part of the 'all things for good' of Romans 8:28. But you know what's really great? There are also things happening right now that are part of the 'all things for good'.
So let me just list for you a small sample of the 'all things for good' that I see in Sovereign Grace this week. Some are easy to see good in, others we have to look for good to come. But here they are in no particular order:
That's a start, and doesn't even drop down into the many wonderful things that God is doing on a local level in Sovereign Grace churches. Yes, this is a difficult season, but it is also a season of much grace. Let us keep in mind the comprehensive love of Christ that makes all things work together for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose.
Please keep praying for us. God is good, and he's offering proof of it every day!
P.S. Andrew mentioned in the comments that we were hoping to share some perspective this week on the question of C.J.'s qualification for ministry. We have that written, but we're going to publish it early next week instead so that our senior pastors can give us their feedback first. Thanks for your patience!
One of the things I've been trying to do recently is to read and ponder the responses we're getting to our blog posts. I've also gotten a number of emails from folks who are telling me their thoughts about why we as a movement are here right now. Brent even sent me a letter from someone who anonymously offered critique of SGM based on their experience at my home church. Beyond the helpful perspective this is bringing, I'm also encountering something just as meaningful for my soul.
When you sit down with someone and talk, there is this amazing engagement of one person to another. It may not go well, but it is real and it stays with us. Emails and documents and details are important but they don't make the same connection as easily. But what the Lord is showing me is that all the emails and documents and blog posts shouldn't obscure the fact that these are real people—you are real people, feeling and experiencing trials that have come in your experience with us.
What the Lord is helping me do is to see each comment, email, and statement as a real person, a child of God. It's people whose questions or concerns are coming out of real life experiences, not just doctrinal or practical differences. I know I can speak for myself and the board, in fact I'm confident I speak for all the pastors in Sovereign Grace, that though we are weak and sinful men, we want to love in the way Jesus would have us love. We want to walk in the way Jesus would have us walk. Where we've failed, we want to own. Where we need change, we want to change. That's how I'm trying to view this season in our family of churches.
In recent days we've heard from a number of you. Some have shared ideas about steps for change, others have passed on Scripture passages to guide or convict. We appreciate all of this, and I ask that you keep it coming. The board isn't trying to shirk the responsibility to lead, but good leaders listen. Often. Whether I ever know who you are or not, you are a person and a Christian whom the Savior has died for and who has a stake in how he is represented in His church. Thank you in advance for anything you pass on to us. And thank you for your continued prayers for us.
Friends, critics, and curious onlookers,
Thank you all for engaging with us so much over the last week as we've attempted to tell you what's going on with respect to this very difficult season in Sovereign Grace Ministries. There have been hundreds of comments on this blog and no shortage of emails. We're learning from your input and I'm grateful that you chose to speak rather than dismiss us, to spend your time writing rather than just closing the window. Even the most critical comments represent an investment of your time and energy, but we see it as an act of service. Fostering constructive criticism in a digital world has not been a strong point in our communication historically.
This week has been very challenging, and heading into the weekend I am aware of some places where we screwed up. I'll make no attempt to be exhaustive, but here are some highlights:
Lack of clarity in Wednesday's board announcement. When we posted our resolutions on Wednesday, people were quick to infer that we were "circling the wagons." And I think I understand that interpretation. We should have been a lot more clear about our resolve for self-evaluation, growth, integrity, and honest dialogue. So I'm not surprised that folks wrote to tell us of their heartbreak and stomach knots in response to our post, and I do regret that. Believe it or not, at the time we had a lot of people contacting us saying, "We need to know exactly and without qualification what you think about all of this." Communicating our "resolutions" seemed a precise way to convey all that. More seem to disagree than agree, and we've heard you. On top of that, we got more criticism even from our biggest fans on the lack of clarity in a couple of the resolutions. We amended the post to answer one common question, but I wish we had just nailed it the first time. All that to say, we messed up our delivery and in the process confused our #1 audience—the people in Sovereign Grace churches. It was a halting start for our new board, but we're determined to do better. You all have asked a lot of valid questions and we're grateful that these events mean so much to so many.
Lack of emphasis on self-evaluation. When people are tempted to think that you are (and I'll pull from our vast supply of quotes here) "gaming the system," engaging in "cronyism," "going to war," behaving with "hubris," "presumptuous and self-serving," and, well you get the idea—you've got the burden of ensuring they know you get the point. What's the point? God is drawing our gaze inward as an organization. Not in a hyper-introspective-there's-no-mission-out-there manner. But in a way that makes it clear to everyone, we have problems. Some of these were already on the radar, others surfaced more recently. But we're going to face them. All of them. What I want to get across to people through how we handle this (and not just with what we say) is that we want to be more rigorous in our self-examination than anyone else is with us. We want to be leading the charge in that, not playing catch up.
Process over people. This insight came from a Sovereign Grace pastor, and looking back at our communication I have to say we are guilty as charged. For some reason we had this impulse that if we explained a series of steps of evaluation to everyone, that would somehow address the concerns that some members of our churches have about SGM more broadly. Now I think it would be wrong to paint every pastor, pastoral team, and church member with the same broad brush. But that doesn't mean that there are no areas of our hearts and practice that need rigorous attention. I'm going to discuss some of those in a post next week. But even that isn't the point here. The regrettable fact is that some dear members of Sovereign Grace churches have been hurt over the years, and no independent panel's evaluation of us can fix that. We hope to do a better job of listening to those folks, learning from them, and owning where we've been wrong. See, if all we do is self-evaluate and improve our systems, failing in the meantime to pastor people through the process, we've missed the point. I'm committed, actually the whole board is committed, to not letting that happen.
Well friends, that's not the whole list, but it's a start. We're on rocky terrain, but I think we're heading in the right direction.
To our friends and detractors alike, can I make an appeal about C.J.? The guy has voluntarily stepped aside from his role as president to ensure he would not influence any evaluation of him. He will be placed under the scrutiny of two different panels. He has written two detailed confessions to Brent and confessed publicly to the pastors and members of Covenant Life Church. He has spent over a year examining his soul and reaching out to people who are offended with him. In some cases there has been reconciliation (including with Larry Tomczak, who reached out to C.J.). In others there has not, but he's trying and praying. Despite appearances to the contrary, C.J.'s self examination didn't begin last week, and no doubt it will continue —as it should for all of us. But can I appeal that we not rush to judgment but rather think about him the way we would want to be evaluated if someone came forward against us?
Before I close out, let me just say something that I think will resonate with all of us. God's not asking us to choose between sides or between people here. He wants us to choose Him. We don't have all the answers, but because of the cross we're connected to the One who does. And he will help us show a watching world the unity we have in Christ. God is at work…for our good and His Glory!
Enjoy your weekend. I'll be back in touch soon.
A few minutes ago, we announced that Joshua Harris is resigning from the SGM board. If you're wondering what that may represent, let me just make a couple of points.
First and primarily, as a board we still have a strong desire for Josh's input, and all parties involved are eager to keep the partnership strong between SGM and CLC. Josh has graciously agreed to keep attending our board meetings as requested to give us counsel, and for that we are very grateful.
Second, Josh and the board agree on many things about our current season.
But we disagree on some important matters too. For example, we disagree in our interpretation of this current season of ministry. Is God disciplining all of Sovereign Grace Ministries right now? Josh says yes, and we're open to that conclusion. But before arriving at that conclusion we would want to walk through a process of evaluating all of SGM, which we have not done yet. It also became apparent that Josh and the board think differently on how best to help C.J. engage with an evaluation, and how the board should exercise leadership as that process unfolds. These differences in our thinking are important and it recently became clear that the other 10 board members and Josh are in a different place on these issues.
And that's okay. Individual churches like Covenant Life have the flexibility to do things differently. We don't force Covenant Life to adjust where they are at, nor does Covenant Life demand that we respond differently.
The disagreements remain, which explains why Josh could not sign the board statement that we released on Wednesday. Josh also wanted to be free to focus on leading Covenant Life Church through this season.
The important thing is that Josh and the board continue to affirm our ministry partnership together. Josh's resignation from the board is not a grand statement about our future together. It's not even an indication that we disagree on most things. We don't. In fact Josh and the board agree on about 98% of things, especially on our shared mission we have been given to see churches planted and built in this country and around the world. We share this vision, even if we find disagreements elsewhere.
So that's pretty much what is going on. If you have any questions or thoughts, please feel free to talk to your pastor or email Sovereign Grace Ministries. And please continue to pray for us during this time!
On behalf of the board,
This past week we (the Sovereign Grace Board and Joshua Harris) came to the mutual decision that it would be best for Covenant Life Church and Sovereign Grace Ministries for Joshua to step down from his role as a board member.
While still committed to our shared theological foundation and partnership in Sovereign Grace Ministries, as well as a common desire to walk through this unique season in a God-glorifying way, this change seems wise in light of certain points of disagreement over how best to proceed. Joshua also faces a sizable responsibility of steering Covenant Life through this trial and stepping away from his board role allows him to focus entirely on that task.
What remains unchanged is our affection, respect, friendship and partnership within Sovereign Grace. Joshua's work on the board for the last three years has been important and we still want him to be a source of counsel for the board. To that end, Joshua has graciously agreed to continue joining board meetings as requested.
We celebrate the fact that in our family of churches, unity in the gospel doesn't mean unanimity on secondary matters. Ultimately we believe this change will better preserve our essential unity while allowing Joshua to focus his attention on leading Covenant Life and the Board to provide leadership for Sovereign Grace in a time of crisis.
I'm posting the statement below on behalf of our board of directors.
Last week we announced that C.J. Mahaney would be taking a temporary leave of absence from his position as President of Sovereign Grace Ministries. This leave was intended to create a fair and open process of evaluation for C.J. and the ministry and was not intended to be disciplinary. We assumed that the charges against him would remain private and that following the evaluation period, we would be able to announce publicly an independent evaluation panel's findings.
Since our announcement Brent Detwiler sent his accusations against C.J. and Sovereign Grace to all Sovereign Grace pastors. His material has also been published on the internet. Brent sent his material to the Sovereign Grace pastors despite repeated appeals that he engage C.J. and Sovereign Grace through the agency of an independent mediator, and if he refused to do that, to simply meet with an independent evaluation panel so they could examine his charges without C.J. or Sovereign Grace present to respond.
In light of the fact that C.J. has now been publicly accused with no opportunity to defend himself, the board of Sovereign Grace has made the following resolutions.
1. That Brent Detwiler's refusal to participate in mediation with C.J. Mahaney—unless Mahaney first agrees (a) to publish an extensive written response to each of Detwiler's accusations and (b) to make a public confession prior to any mediation or impartial evaluation of his charges—is unjust and constitutes a denial of biblically grounded due process for a qualified minister of the gospel (Matthew 18:15-17; 1 Timothy 5:19-20, Proverbs 25:9).
2. That Brent Detwiler's distribution of written accusations against C.J. Mahaney to all Sovereign Grace pastors constitutes the public slander of Mahaney's reputation.
3. That the board of Sovereign Grace Ministries has reviewed Brent Detwiler's documents accusing C.J. Mahaney of sinful practices in the conduct of his ministry and finds no reason at this time to deem him unfit for ministry. However, the board will reevaluate Mahaney's fitness after receiving formal evaluation of the accusations lodged against him (see below). The board acknowledges that sins have been committed but also recognizes and appreciates Mahaney's eagerness to confess sins, pursue reconciliation with Detwiler, and pursue personal holiness and growth as a minister.
4. That C.J. Mahaney is a qualified minister of the gospel and this board approves his pastoral and teaching ministry in Sovereign Grace and the wider body of Christ.
5. That Sovereign Grace Ministries will engage a process of evaluation regarding CJ Mahaney's fitness for ministry.
A preliminary panel will examine confessions that Mahaney has already made to determine if at present he is qualified to be a pastor and the president of Sovereign Grace. In light of the public defamation of his character, this is to be done with all deliberate speed. The board deems this preliminary panel necessary to show that while it has concluded that Mahaney is fit for ministry, other temporary outside evaluation is necessary either to lend credibility to its assessment or to make changes this panel deems necessary.
A second panel will commence work concurrent with the first. It will consist of members of an independent conciliation ministry with no ties to Sovereign Grace. This panel will create a process for examination of the outstanding charges against Mahaney and create and lead a process for a fair hearing of those charges to determine if they are true or false. The board will then seek review and comment from qualified pastors with a good reputation in the body of Christ who are not directly associated with the ministry. The board will then make a determination of appropriate action in light of the panel's findings and the advice of the above pastors.
Dave, Aron, Craig, Jeff, John, Mark, Mickey, Pete, Rick, and Steve
Addendum from John Loftness:
A lot of you are asking why resolutions #4 and #5 seem different. In #4 the board wanted us to know that from what they know of C.J.'s sins and leadership failures, they don't consider him disqualified from any ministry. They thought they had to make a statement about that so no one misunderstood. In #5, they're saying that they recognize that their conclusion about C.J. at this point may not be credible to some, so they want a preliminary panel to look at what C.J. has already confessed to see if they agree or not. The board believes that if any disciplinary action is to take place, it should come only after the full period of evaluation. Before that they want C.J. to serve.
Please see "A note about online confessions" for an explanation of why I removed the original content of this blog post.
As C.J. has described elsewhere, he and Larry Tomczak have recently reconciled with each other. Larry gave us permission to post a letter he sent on July 4, describing their estrangement and reconciliation. I hope this letter encourages you.
Larry Tomczak's Testimony About His Reconciliation with CJ Mahaney July 4, 2011
I would like to take a few moments to share with you a testimony of God's grace in my life, in my family, and in a very dear relationship. About 38 years ago CJ Mahaney and I were brought together in a complementary friendship and teaching ministry in the nation's capital. We started with a handful of people in the home of Mrs. Lydia Little, who called us together and was the initial catalyst for our ministry. We began to study the Word of God, then we began to teach the Word of God in a more public fashion. Our group grew within a four-year period to almost 2,000. It was primarily young people meeting every Tuesday for a ministry meeting called "T.A.G.," or Take and Give. We taught the Scriptures, worshipped the Lord, and saw multitudes of people converted. Even to this day, wherever we travel in this nation and abroad, both CJ and I hear testimonies of people who thank us for our teaching. We've been amazed at how God used that ministry, which was both a personal journey toward God and a revival that touched many lives.
As our ministry grew, we complemented each other—we were very different. In 1977 we realized it was God's will to conclude the teaching and evangelistic gatherings and begin to plant a New Testament church. We tried to do it in a way that was non-divisive and began in my home. Over the course of a year or two, a church was started that is now Covenant Life Church. Thirty-some years later it is a prosperous local church in the Gaithersburg MD area, with about 3,000+ members.
As the church grew, we also caught a vision for church-planting and multiplication according to the pattern in the Book of Acts. Over the course of two decades we were privileged to be involved in planting or "adopting" about 25 churches. This fellowship of churches eventually became known as "Sovereign Grace Ministries." We were also involved with a nationally published magazine, People of Destiny, which 20-25,000 people received.
But somewhere in the 1990's God put a test before us. I'm sorry to say that we didn't come through with flying colors. We wanted the ministry's core values and beliefs to be more specifically identified. That brought about some friction, because I found myself going on a different doctrinal path than some of the other leaders who were dear friends. As time went by I felt I was experiencing abuses of spiritual authority and methodologies that were harmful and inconsistent with Scripture. Other leaders in SGM shared similar experiences with me. Because of this, as well as some pruning the Lord was doing in my personal life in terms of character, and some family issues with one of our children, CJ and I reached a place where there was not just tension, but an impasse. Eventually there was a sense in my own heart to end my time with the ministry. I felt there were issues of doctrine and direction in the ministry with which I could no longer align. As I attempted to exit, it caused tension and things did not go well for us.
For the past 13 years, CJ and I have been in a state of estrangement. I made several attempts to address these differences and to deal with offenses and perceived injustices. Both of us sought to apply principles of biblical peacemaking, but we made little progress. We struggled unsuccessfully to overcome separation, alienation, and division. We certainly did not give a positive witness for the Lord. The ripples of our separation went through the Body of Christ in many ways, affecting extended family members, churches, and individual church members.
In September 2010, I sent a letter to CJ requesting that we come together again to try to reconcile with each other. CJ gladly agreed and flew to Nashville where we met and talked for over four hours. Early in the meeting, we considered two specific questions:
First, what is God calling us to do that would bring Him the maximum glory, bring healing to the maximum number of people, and stop the ongoing divisive activity of Satan in the maximum number of individuals and churches?
Second, are we willing to do whatever He reveals no matter what the cost?
First, what is God calling us to do that would bring Him the maximum glory, bring healing to the maximum number of people, and stop the ongoing divisive activity of Satan in the maximum number of individuals and churches?
Second, are we willing to do whatever He reveals no matter what the cost?
We both gave a thumbs up and a hearty Amen and said, "Let's dig in." We put into practice the wisdom of Proverbs 14:9, "Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright." By God's grace, we worked hard at repairing our relationship. CJ confessed and repented of sins that had caused separation between us. Where I had also sinned and failed, I did likewise. I was deeply moved by CJ's humility and transparency, and would give him an "A+" on his role in the conversation.
Realizing that my wife Doris had also been affected by our estrangement, CJ offered to meet with her as well. A few weeks later, he returned and she joined us for another four hour conversation. As a result of prayer and fasting and the grace of God, we saw the Holy Spirit doing a work in our midst that I would have to say was miraculous. I believe that all of us pleased the Lord by not being defensive, by listening to one another, by attempting to understand the past and lay it out on the table, with nothing ignored or neglected.
But God was not done with us yet. Doris's father is 89 and her mother is 87, and CJ knew that they too had been impacted by our struggles. To our great joy and appreciation, he humbled himself and called them on Christmas Eve. In their words, "in a pile of tears" he sought forgiveness and expressed repentance. It was an incredible experience as God brought healing in a situation that my wife had said two months before was irreparable. Ripples went out to our entire extended family. One family member who was involved in the situation subsequently flew to meet with us in Nashville. We were able to discuss things and he repented and asked our forgiveness. We also acknowledged some failures at this time.
CJ also had a private meeting with one of our children and was a model of humility in listening and dealing with issues he wanted to discuss. A breakthrough came when he humbly asked forgiveness for an offense that had deeply hurt my child, Doris, and me. This evidence of God's reconciling grace was crucial to our eventual reconciliation.
During this six month period, several SGM leadership couples called us or visited us in Nashville, at great financial cost, to likewise repent and seek forgiveness for sins against us and our family. Some called our children to do likewise. Many tears and lots of pain came to the surface, but this brought great glory to God and was essential to the healing process for our family. It also gave us the opportunity to confess and ask forgiveness for our contributions to our estrangement. The efforts by SGM leadership couples to seek reconciliation ushered in the healing for things that had affected all of us for thirteen years and had negatively impacted many of our children.
At this point we are all standing in amazement that after 13 years the Holy Spirit moved into our lives as we humbled ourselves for what we would call a transformational experience. Where sin had once separated us, the grace of Christ now brought us all together in a spirit of love and forgiveness. We were all impacted—not only us, but also our children and extended family members. We believe this is going to reverberate throughout Covenant Life Church, the ministry of Sovereign Grace Ministries, and also individuals who have been aware of this ministry here and abroad. Doris's dad and mom said, "We're ready now to be with the Lord, for we have seen the intervention of God."
I praise God that CJ and I are now able to communicate the wonderful news of our reconciliation to those who would be encouraged by it. We have agreed that we don't need to go into specifics, but we can tell anybody and everybody that we came together, every major issue was put on the table, we endeavored to humbly repent, ask forgiveness, and honor God by forgiving. We want to move forward now and see healing, not only in our lives and families but in the churches and ministries that in any way, shape or form were impacted by what took place.
Praise be to God, who has graciously overcome and delivered us from our sin and given us the grace to experience the forgiveness and reconciliation that Christ won for us at the Cross!
The following is a message from the board of Sovereign Grace Ministries.
By now you may have read C.J.'s letter about recent developments in his life and in Sovereign Grace Ministries. We want to take a moment to communicate to you as well concerning these events and inform you of the steps the SGM board is taking in response.
We understand that this news may strike some as sudden and surprising. However, a process has been unfolding over a number of months in which the board has sought to evaluate charges against C.J., assist him in examining his heart and pursuing reconciliation, and bring accountability and guidance to him in this process. Because some of the charges move beyond C.J. to SGM, we also wanted to examine ourselves and our practices both past and current. To that end, we are in the process of securing help from an outside organization that can conduct a thorough and objective review of the charges being brought against C.J. and SGM. We are seeking to identify an organization that has no prior history with us and that has wide respect in Christian circles, and we will keep you posted on that search process as we make progress. We have by no means guided this process flawlessly, but we are learning and growing through this long and difficult process. And we are encouraged by how God appears to be leading us.
It is also important for us to be clear that we are supportive of C.J.'s letter and the decisive actions he has taken. The charges against C.J. are serious, but his response has been one of self-examination and, when possible, specific confession to those sinned against. However, given the numerous events, people, and perspectives involved, the work of an independent panel will be vital to fully examining these charges and arriving at an objective conclusion, especially on those charges with which the board does not agree. We therefore believe the leave of absence is appropriate in the present circumstances to afford C.J. the time to reflect upon his heart and to allow an independent panel space to conduct its review. Like C.J., we are committed to facilitate as thorough and objective a process as possible by an independent panel.
In addition to our search for an independent panel, we have taken other steps in response to these circumstances. In order to secure a broader source of accountability and benefit from a deeper pool of wisdom, we have expanded the board to lead SGM in this season. The current regional leadership team members, all pastors in SGM churches, constitute the additional board members: Craig Cabaniss, Mickey Connelly, Rick Gamache, Pete Greasley, John Loftness, Aron Osborne, Mark Prater, and Steve Shank. We are grateful for the wisdom and experience these men bring to this board and for their willingness to serve in this capacity. To facilitate continuity in our day-to-day operations, the new board has appointed Dave Harvey to act as the interim president during C.J.'s leave of absence.
As for C.J., his primary focus during the leave of absence will be to continue to examine his heart and consider the various charges and offenses, as well as to fully cooperate with an independent panel, once chosen by the board. Any pursuit of reconciliation with aggrieved parties will be guided by the counsel of the board and the independent panel. C.J. has also fully submitted himself to the board's direction regarding his ministry activities and external commitments during this time.
All of us carry concern for the Mahaneys personally, and the board is working to ensure that a clear and helpful plan is in place to provide adequate care for C.J. and his family during this season. This plan will integrate the local care C.J. receives with other lines of counsel he receives from those outside of SGM.
We realize there is much to process here, and much of it is disconcerting. Our theology serves us well in times like this: God is clearly at work in C.J., in our own lives, and in SGM. Our desire is to embrace all that he has for us in this season, knowing he is working for our good, however difficult that may be. To those in the SGM family of churches, our commitment is that we will, by God's grace, seek to walk as humbly, wisely, and transparently as possible during this season, and to seek to serve and care for Sovereign Grace churches in whatever way we can. We covet your prayers, and we cherish our partnership with you now more than ever.
Dave, on behalf of the Sovereign Grace Ministries board

Tips On Getting Your Toddler To Sleep (Or What I Learned At A Sleep Clinic)
I've heard from a lot of (tired!) parents about my recent blog post on the sleep challenges you'll face in the toddler years - many have asked for more specific advice. So I'm offering some tips I received as a parent who took my toddler to a sleep clinic (as I was befuddled by the whole thing and waved the white flag!).
You need to convince your toddler that sleep is not a punishment. This to me is the biggest hurdle. Telling a toddler that it's time to go to sleep can get translated in their head as "It's time to stop doing something fun." While you won't be able to solve this entirely, you will need to find appealing – but not overly stimulating – things to do before bedtime that will transition them to sleep. Your child loves having books read to them and love it when you tell them stories. The trick is to establish these activities (or a combination of them) as the first stage of the bedtime ritual – and it helps even more if you pick a favorite spot in the house where this happens. Make it fun and something to look forward to and plan on around 15-20 minutes of this. AND STICK WITH IT EVERY NIGHT – NO EXCEPTIONS! You are trying to create a routine. TV and any other electronic device is not advised during this transitional time.
You could make going to bed a bit of a game. Maybe it sounds silly to you, but you could try to put a little fun into that difficult time (for some) of actually making the move to your child's room. Use your imagination. Put a voice to a stuffed animal who coaches them into their room. The idea is to do something that kids like and will look forward to. Kids love rituals if they are fun – and you want to create a "get in bed" ritual.
You may need to get them a big kid bed. We thought it was too early, but the clinic suggested that it was time and gave guidelines about making sure it was safe. The bigger point here is that change may be a good thing for some toddlers – and a big kid bed might make them feel a little pumped up about their development (which you can then use to your advantage by pointing out that big kids go to sleep at a proper time at night – all's fair in sleep wars!)
You need to help your toddler handle their new emotions about sleep. Expect to do a lot of soothing. Toddlers start to experience changes in their sleep cycles which make them wake up after a few hours of sleep. They may be afraid of being apart from you. They may remember bad dreams. They may be a little scared about the big kid bed you just introduced! Find a transitional object (I used to use one of my T-shirts) for your kid to cuddle with along with a stuffed animal. And then consider that …
"Graduated extinction" can be a very helpful method for toddlers with sleep issues. We all have our favorite methods. But since the assumption is that nothing is working now (remember, I was at a sleep clinic), we started from scratch following the principles of graduated extinction. Here's how we did it. Week 1: We sat up on the bed for about 10-15 minutes and then left the room (this was with full disclosure to our daughter). If she woke up crying, we would sit on the bed for 5-7 minutes. Week 2: We sat up on the bed for 5 minutes and then sat in a chair for 5 minutes (if she woke up crying we sat on the bed for 2 minutes and in the chair for 2 minutes). Week 3. Same as week 2, except we sat in the chair for 2 minutes and then left the room (if she woke up crying we repeated the process – the point being we eventually left the room). Week 4: Realized that she preferred if we sat on the bed for 10-15 minutes (the Week 1 routine) and then left the room before she was fully asleep (the sleep clinic clinician loved this on our follow-up visit because our daughter partnered with us to let us know what she liked). We stayed with this for quite a long time and she hardly ever woke up overnight.
Reward sleep behaviors! Find a simple (and cheap!) reward system. Stickers worked really well. Every morning if we met a goal (like getting back to sleep if she woke up or sleeping through the night) our daughter would pick out a sticker to place on a fun calendar in her room. If it's a bad night for no reason (e.g., she wasn't sick) – no sticker.
Monitor the naps really closely. Part of the deal was to calibrate the daily nap – 1 hour every day around 2 in the afternoon. We did whatever it took to make this happen. Walked her in a stroller. Drove her in the car. Didn't care. The point was the nap was from 2-3 every day, no matter who she was with. The sleep clinic endorsed this and wan't concerned with how we got her to sleep (the faster the better!) as long as we woke her up after an hour. Following this routine, she was tired around 9 at night and slept until 8 the next morning nearly every night.
Be vigilant about changes in the routine. Life happens. Kids get sick. Schedules change. Holidays arrive. Visitors arrive. Whenever you get thrown off, try to get right back into the routine and be really strict about sticking with it.
So that's it – some tips from a real life visit to a sleep clinic. Will these tips work for you? Some may and some may not. Every kid is different. Some toddlers may seem "hard-wired" to not sleep much. But the principles discussed here are really important, as is the very serious endorsement of talking to your pediatrician about visiting a pediatric sleep clinic if these tips (or others you come across) don't work. They will come up with a plan for you, your child, and your situation. And you all will sleep much better as a result. One other tip: there may be a wait of several months or more for an appointment at a sleep clinic. So if you are thinking of doing this it's good to get the ball rolling ASAP.

Another bad picture on parents magazine's site! What a surprise!
That mattress should be moved to a lower setting. If a child can bend over the top of the rail, they have outgrown that mattress setting a long time ago!! If it can't be moved, then it's probably a assigned, not a true crib, in which case the child should be moved out of the bassinet when they start pulling themselves up, even if to sitting position.
Good grief. I was so angry at this, I haven't even read the article!!!

My method is to stick to what we have done. From Birth I have done the same thing at bedtime. We've eaten dinner, taken a bath, went to the room to put closes on, sit down for 2 books, lay down and turn light off (with no night lite) and leave room. I think changing things at this time is a bad thing. The child wants to know what to expect, not wonder what your going to do next. I don't read books anywhere but in the bed next to (or with the child on my lap) I don't want to have to walk past all the things they might want on my way to laying down. (it only gives reasons fight) I have always said "Don't start something you don't want to do for ever" I don't turn on fans, I don't us pacifiers, I don't use night lights. If I make a choice to change things I try to do it when nothing crazy is going on and I don't explain myself or anything I just do it and not stop. My husband once convinced me my son needed a sippy cup at bedtime. When I decided he was wrong I just took it away. I took two days for him to get over not having it but I wasn't turning back. Next when you lay them down and they get up, don't get mad. Whatever they do to draw attention. (play, run, scream, throw themselves down) ignore it all. Pick them up (or hold their hand if you can) and walk them back to bed, lay them down cover them up (with feet down or not) and leave room. (don't turn the light on in the room, use the wall light or bathroom) Do that 30000 times if need be. Don't yell. Now if you realize it's a game to them, you walk out and they follow or get RIGHT up when you leave. Swat ONE time on the back of the leg. It works EVERY time. than lay them down. That WILL make them mad, they will throw themselves around. IGNORE it. Do as always. Good luck!

We love the BabyZoo sleep trainer. It is an adorable monkey alarm clock. It can be set so that the monkey's eyes closed means stay in bed and when the monkey opens his eyes, it is time to get up. Our little one won't go to sleep unless the monkey's eyes are closed and knows to stay in bed until he opens his eyes. It took a little bit of training to get her to understand, but now that she does, it works very well.

We are so different. Although I have been lucky in that we were able to keep my son home for the first few years we always followed his natural sleep rhythm. So for a while when he was 2 he was still awake at 11 pm and slept until 10 am. When we knew we had to change that we did it gradually, 15 minutes a week until we got him to the reasonable time for us of 8:30pm. He gave up naps at age 3 no matter what we did LOL. Although now he will go have quiet time in the afternoon and watch a movie or read or play quietly in his room as that's the daycare schedule so we try to keep it. Moving to the big bed was the biggest help. Most people don't realize how much a child moves around at night and rolling into crib frames or side rails wakes them up. Having all that room stopped most of the night time wake ups. Every child is different though and you have to find what works.

@ Lily Schey- It's a prop!!!! Not actually used to sleep in! It looks good, and it's fun. Good grief woman, get over it. You can even see the backdrop behind her.
I have the same crib in green for my son (IKEA, only $80), and it says, PRINTED ON THE TOP OT THE SIDE WHERE ALL BUT A MORON CAN SEE, "Do not use as a crib for children over 18 months, or if child can bend over top. Please convert to toddler bed." I'm sure the photographer saw that, and since someone was within feet of the child at all times, it should be a non issue.
And now that I vented, I loved the article. I'm going to try some of these tonight

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad plans to honor child killer Samir Kuntar, who Israel released in a prisoner swap with Hizbullah for the bodies of IDF reservists Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev last year, AFP reported on Thursday.
Kuntar arrived in Iran on Wednesday and thanked Teheran for its role in backing the Lebanese and Palestinian "resistance" against Israel.
"This country has played a crucial role in supporting the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance and I am here to express my deepest gratitude to this country," Kuntar told AFP.
Kuntar said he wanted to meet Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei and "shake his hand."
Officials from Ahmadinejad's office said Kuntar would be honored by the president at an event in Teheran, AFP said.
Kuntar, a Lebanese Druse, was sentenced to four life sentences in 1979 for the deaths of Danny Haran, 28, his two daughters and a policeman in Nahariya.
A member of the Palestine Liberation Front, Kuntar and four others sailed 10 kilometers under the cover of night from south Lebanon to Nahariya in a 55-horse-power rubber boat. The mission, led by Kuntar and titled the Nasser Operation, brought the terrorists to the Nahariya coast around midnight on April 22, 1979.
The group murdered police officer Eliahu Shahar after he stumbled upon the gang. The men then entered an apartment building at Rehov Jabotinski 61 and broke into the Haran family's apartment, taking them hostage.
Kuntar's gang took Danny and four-year-old Einat Haran hostage as police reinforcements arrived on the scene.
Haran's wife, Smadar, hid with her two-year-old daughter Yael in a crawl space above the couple's bedroom. Smadar tried to muffle the girl's cries, and accidentally smothered her.
As officers arrived at the building, the terrorists pulled Danny and Einat out of the apartment building and down to the beach, where a shootout with police and soldiers ensued.
Kuntar shot Danny Haran at close-range and threw his body into the sea to make sure he died. He then bashed Einat's head on rocks and with butt of his rifle, killing her instantly.

Leier: Some prefer later-season pheasant hunting
Fargo - For those of us who like to spend as much time as possible on the outside of the window, October is a sort of early Christmas present.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: Pheasant prospects in fall look promising
Fargo - In North Dakota, deer hunting is arguably the favorite hunting season based on the number of individuals who apply for a license each year. And while North Dakota produces more ducks than pheasants, I would guess if you asked every hunter their favorite quarry, ducks might finish behind deer and pheasants, though a lot of people are avid participants in all three seasons.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: North Dakota enjoys array of natural resources
I have written extensively on the rich diversity of natural resources that make North Dakota a great place to live if you like the outdoors, or even if you don't.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: Hunters should prepare physically as well as mentally
Fargo With the close of summer, you will notice a swing from fishing rods to shotguns. For the next two months, every day is one day closer to the next hunting season.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: CRP has done much for North Dakota's hunting prospects
Fargo Throughout the years I have been writing, I have continued to highlight the Conservation Reserve Program – and for good reason. It's not by sheer accident that North Dakota's wildlife populations have experienced a contemporary revival that rivals most hunters' recollections of "the good old days."RELATED CONTENT
Leier: Influx in Canada geese means longer hunting season, larger limit
Fargo When North Dakota's early Canada goose season starts Aug. 15, hunters who find themselves in the right situation will likely have a limit of 15 birds a day, up from eight last year and five in 2010.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: Stocking, new waters increase opportunities for fishing in North Dakota
Fargo If you're into numbers, around 140,000 North Dakota residents were licensed to fish last year, and that doesn't include all those under age 16 who don't need a license.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: It's not too early to start thinking about deer licenses
Fargo It's not even June, but the chatter along river banks, fishing piers, boat landings and bait shops isn't just about where the fish are biting or the big one that got away. In fact, every year around the backside of May, there's almost as much talk about deer season.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: Free fishing a good way to get young anglers hooked
It's hard to believe when I glance at the calendar that it's May, and not June or maybe July.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: Waterfowl opportunities in ND are abundant
West Fargo - Many hunters these days are bemoaning a downward population trend for deer and pheasants in North Dakota. On the other hand, for 2013 at least, duck and goose populations are in good shape and can provide opportunities that hunters may not want to overlook.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: Looking forward to upcoming seasons, and with good reason
West Fargo - Hunters aren't much different than sports fans when looking forward to upcoming seasons and learning about expert analysis and predictions. Fall flight forecasts for waterfowl and results from upland game brood surveys will pique the interest of hunters and wildlife managers alike.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: HIP is important tool for state biologists
West Fargo - If you catch a conversation between hunters and hear a reference to HIP, chances are they are discussing the Harvest Information Program and not what their kids or teenage neighbors are into.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: Early Canada goose season in ND continues to evolve
West Fargo - North Dakota's early Canada goose season has been around for more than a decade. It's a specific effort to put additional hunting pressure on the rising population of giant Canada geese – the only goose species that nests and raises its young within the state.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: In terms of wet years in ND, 1993 still stands out
West Fargo - With more than four decades behind me, sometimes 20 years seems like a long time, and sometimes it seems like yesterday. That's how I feel about the summer of 1993, and specifically July, when much of North Dakota's landscape went through a dramatic change from dry to wet.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: Survey returns yield interesting results
West Fargo - While I'm never one to wish away the current for the future, I also realize mid-July is weeks and not months until school begins, baseballs are replaced by footballs, and shotguns and doves are mentioned with walleyes and plugs. I'll hold onto summer as long as possible.RELATED CONTENT

West Fargo - I'm years removed from the high school and college decisions and contemplating schools, majors or possible career paths. And I don't really miss it.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: Fish stocking has been a critical wildlife tool
West Fargo - Anyone who has fished with children knows the trip is more about helping with bait and knots and tangled line than it is about a stringer of 3-pound walleyes.RELATED CONTENT
Leier: Future of fishing is tough to predict
West Fargo - Recently, a friend asked me how I see fishing in the future. Since my approach to fishing probably fits more in 1983 than 2013, and for sure what fishing may be like in 2033, I really struggled to envision the way fishing would look years from now.RELATED CONTENT

This review is from: The Night Circus (Hardcover)
This book was recommended to me by Amazon. After looking at the 5 or 6 ratings/reviews that raved about this book I bought it instantly. I feel somewhat torn in my overall opinion of the book. It was without a doubt a very unique idea and that is part of the reasons that i did like this book. The author does a fabulous job creating the circus and does in fact make you wish that it would come and visit your town! However, I found it increasingly frustrating as the book goes on. The dates for each chapter in the book seem to jump all over the place and I found it quite annoying to try and follow. This combined with so many questions surrounding the actual competition and some of the characters made it difficult for me to stay interested at certain points in the book. Sometimes when i picked it up i really enjoyed it and other times I could have set it right back down. I didn't particularly care for the ending.. I guess i was expecting more, but I absolutely adored the first chapter "Anticipation". After reading the entire book this is still my favourite part and the one thing keeping me from donating the book to the local library. I don't dislike the book but, but I don't think I will read it again (well, maybe the first chapter!! )
I do wish I had enjoyed it as much as everyone else on here seems to have.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is certainly creating some buzz lately. So, I was excited to receive a copy and see what all the talk was about.
"The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts and billboards, no mentions or advertisements in local newspapers. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.
Le Cirque des Réves
(The Circus of Dreams)
Opens at Nightfall
Closes at Dawn."
But what visitors don't know is that the circus is a venue for a game. A game between two enigmatic magicians (although they are much more than simple magicians) of indeterminate age and otherworldly skills. Each has chosen a player and trained them for many years. And now that the circus is open, the game begins. The young players, Celia and Marco, are not even sure of the rules, how a winner will be dictated or what the playing should even consist of. And so we follow the circus, the game and the lives of everyone touched by the magic.
Where Morgenstern absolutely excels is in imagination. She has conjured up fanciful, magical places and times. Her prose are rich and lush, painting very vivid images. I often found myself rereading these passages and imagining what one of the attractions would be like. For the attractions at the Cirque des Réves are unlike any other. Each tent contains an unfathomable wonder that you may have only dreamed of.
I loved the following imagery - books as both vehicle and voyage.
"When she opens her eyes, they are standing on the quarterdeck of a ship in the middle of the ocean. Only the ship is made of books, it's sails thousands of overlapping pages, and the sea it floats upon is dark black ink. They stand silently together as the ship drifts toward the endless horizon."
Where the book fell from a five to a four for me was in the pacing and character development. The first half of the book moved a little too slow for me. I did end up putting it down for a few days. When I picked it back up, the second half moved much faster, with more action and consequences happening.
Although Celia and Marco are the main protagonists, there are many, many others integral to The Night Circus. Celia and Marco remained for me attractions - I never became truly invested in their love story or struggles, despite the fairy tale feeling of it all. I found myself drawn to many of the other players, especially Bailey. His character is more tangible and I was able to believe him in him more. This could simply reflect the pragmatic nature of this reader.
The Night Circus is a intriguing, inventive foray into a magical world that, deep down, every one of us wishes existed. A very strong debut novel. And a bit of a magical time for Morgenstern - movie rights to The Night Circus have been sold to Summit Entertainment - who also brought you the Twilight movies. It will interesting to see what movie magic can do to reproduce The Night Circus.

3.0 out of 5 stars The spell wore off,
Tony Chu (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Night Circus (Hardcover)
I'm afraid I don't quite agree with most of the reviewers here. Granted, the book's concept is magical and the circus does seem compelling at first. But I got tired of the slow pace of developments, and the jumping around of the timeline, and ultimately the writing style (which seemed designed to describe things beautifully but not actually reveal much).
Somewhere around the middle of this book I realized I didn't really care what happened to the two main characters, and I lost interest in making the effort to piece together what was really going on. The whole premise that was ruling their lives seemed a bit pathetic and I ended up feeling that the ending didn't really matter to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this. Love.,
I'm guilty of it, you're probably guilty of it - I buy books based on the cover. Look, I know. I'm a librarian. I get it. That's not HOW you should choose a book. There are better ways. I'm also guilty of NOT buying books based on the cover, and missed out on one of my favourite series for years because of it.
At any rate - I was wandering around the book store, and the cover caught my eye - I was burned out from a consulting gig, I wanted something with a bit more ... something ... then the urban fantasy I've been burning through, and a bit less substance than the Biography I've been warily eyeing and knowing I should just start already. My roommate finished it before I got around to it on the pile of books to read and her liking it is generally a good sign that it's something I'll like.
This book took me forever to read. I read it pretty much a chapter at a time (which is very, VERY unlike me) and it took a solid month for me to finish. The thing is, it's not because I didn't like it. I get why there were mixed reviews of it, and I get why there was a love/hate relationship with it a lot of readers seemed to have. It's a bit of a slow book, and very layered - you need to pay attention to a lot of subtleties, or you're just going to get bored.
I, personally wasn't bored. I am firmly on the camp that this is one of the best books since ever, and I'm planning to recommend this book a lot, to (almost) everyone. The imagery of the Circus was beautiful and made me wish there was something like it - it brought back that childhood memory of the fantasy and whimsy of the Circus' we went to as kids, the same Circus' that going to as grown ups lost a bit of their magic to adult eyes. The book is high magical realism and I would say even if you end up on the not liking it, it is well worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intoxicating Blend of Historical Fiction and Fantasy,
John Kwok (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Night Circus (Hardcover)
An intoxicating blend of historical fiction and fantasy, "The Night Circus" is one of the most impressive literary debuts I have read recently, marking the advent of an important new voice in fantasy and mainstream literary fiction; Erin Morgenstern. It is a boldly imaginative work encompassing fantasy, romance and historical fiction by someone who is both a great storyteller and an exceptional prose stylist. Compellingly readable and impossible to put down, Morgenstern takes readers on a whirlwind journey spanning across two continents and decades of time within the tents of the mysterious and magical Le Cirque de Reves with a most compelling cast of characters ranging from its eccentric owner Chandresh Christoph Levevre to its most devoted fan and clockmaker Friedrick Stefan Thiessen, and last, but not least, the contortionist, fortune-teller and magicians of the circus itself. This is an epic tale of love and a titanic battle of wits between two young illusionists, Celia Bowen and Marco Alasdair, engaged in a relentless competition of magic overseen by their enigmatic, mercurial masters; a game in which only one of them can survive, a game witnessed by the entire circus and its fans, as they conjure exceptional feats of magic, and a game which defines their lives and threatens their unexpected, quite passionate, love for each other. A game which is the latest in a series of competitions that have lasted for decades, between Celia's father, Hector Bowen, the magician Prospero the Enchanter, and the elusive, enigmatic man in the grey suit. With "The Night Circus", Morgenstern has written a tale as captivating and mesmerizing as any written by the likes of Ray Bradbury, Neil Gaiman, Ursula Le Guin, China Mieville, and Haruki Murakami; it is indeed a work of genius which will be compared favorably with theirs as an instant classic of fantasy and mainstream literature.

This review is from: The Night Circus (Hardcover)
This believable magical tale kept me entertained for hours. I didn't give it 5 stars because I initially had problems trying to keep the order of events sorted out. Read and remember the dates at the beginning of each chapter or you are rapidly going to get confused. I know I did! Other than that the novel drew me into a mystical world where fabrics change colour on a whim, birds transform into hats and two lonely people find happiness. The text is rich in imagery and the characters are touchingly real. A lovely read.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern,
Readandbejoyful (Montr�al, Canada) - See all my reviews
I swear, this book is magic. Truly magical and mysterious. The atmosphere of this book is one of a kind that I have never read in any other. When reading it, the only thing you want to wish for is for Le Cirque des R�ves to come close to where you live and to be able to visit all the wonderful tents it presents. In a way, you still get to visit it on your own because there are chapters written at the singular of the second person. I think these chapters were my favorite for all the book because it was the first time I ever read something like this and I found it verry original.
Another thing I found original in this book is the concept of the duel of magicians. I know, you might think � A duel of magician ? It feels like we've seen this so many times before !� But this kind of duel ? No, you haven't. With the circus as a venue for the duel, it makes it so much more interesting because each magician tries to invent a tent or an aspect of the circus more wonderful then the other.
In conclusion, this book is wonderful and I recommend it to everyone who likes to have a little magic in there life once in a while.
5.0 out of 5 stars Two ruthless masters, two rivals who were pledged together from a young age, only one can be the winner…,
Marie (Quebec) - See all my reviews
The Night Circus brings you into the midst of a universe of dreams. A place where the smell of caramel wafts through the air and the lights glow magically under the night sky, for the circus only takes place at night and no one knows when it will arrive or when it leaves. Every tent flap you lift brings you into a realm more enchanting than the next.
However all is not as magical as it seems behind the scenes of Le Cirque de R�ves, for the circus is only a platform for a duel being played out between two rivals. A duel that is a game of wits and imagination. From a young age Celia and Marcus have been trained by their respective masters for this challenge, however no one expected them to fall hopelessly in love with each other and from that moment on everything changes…
The Night Circus is simply amazing, a must read. I'm an avid reader and I read this book in 24 hours. This book is a page turner, once you start you won't be able to put it down. A stellar debut novel for Erin Morgenstern. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Read this book, you won't regret it!
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written,
Michele James (BC CANADA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Night Circus (Hardcover)
This book was amazing!!
The writing is the strongest aspect of this book. The writing was incredibly descriptive, beautiful, and flowed so easily. I took my time with this book and did not want it to end. The imagery of the circus was unbelievable and felt more like a dream than anything realistic. I have been to the circus myself, but I would kill to be able to experience a real-life version of this circus. She hit all the senses: sight, taste, smells, touch, and hearing. I cannot stress enough how amazing this book was to read! By the end of the book I felt like I really knew the characters and the world they lived in. The perspectives of each chapter cycled through a cast of characters, and the reader is also included! The inclusion of the reader as a POV character really made the book more intimate and that much easier to indulge.
A word of caution: do not read the inside flap. I found it had major spoilers and the story would be better if you did not know that information!
4.0 out of 5 stars An enchanting tale of a circus like no other...,
This review is from: The Night Circus (Hardcover)
The premise, at first, is simple: the circus arrives at night, without any warning and is gone come dawn. It travels around the world, popping up with no notice. Everything is black, white and shades of grey. This is no ordinary circus though. Once you pass through the gates, you enter a whole other world, one I wish so badly I could physically experience myself. Instead of one main tent, the night circus is many individual tents, each with something magically unique and amazing inside. You are free to wander and enter tents as you wish. The circus may be black and white, but the story is not void of colour. The prose is rich with detail and the illusions that fill the chapters jump off the page. If I've ever wanted a book to be desperately made into a movie, this is it. While I had no trouble escaping into the world of the night circus, I believe this story would translate amazingly onto the big screen, where the magic and illusions could come to life.
