How To Keep Your Kids On Your Team
|
Review "It's not what you think that will impact your child; it's what you communicate". We live in an age of delinquency, teen suicide, youth gangs, drugs and alcohol, sexual temptations, televised immortality, overcrowded schools, and a general deterioration in the civility and morality of the general culture. In How To Keep Your Kids On Your Team Charles Stanley passes along the wisdom gained as a father of two grown children, a son and a daughter, in this plainspoken book about creating and maintaining loving, loyal parent-child relationships. Stanley focuses on the parental role as one of stewardship rather than ownership. As a parent, you have a stewardship entrusted to you, and you are responsible to God for your actions toward your children. The next step is to teach your children that they too have a responsibility. "The Key to successful parenting," says Stanley, "is one's ability to ingrain a sense of personal accountability to God into the mind of the child at an early age. " Enriched by personal anecdotes and insightful commentary, How To Keep Your Kids On Your Team is a book for all parents who want to assure that their sons and daughters avoid a self-centered life and hold fast to tested values. How To Keep Your Kids On Your Team is highly recommended for all parish and church libraries and is "must" reading for parents and care-givers of children at any age. How To Keep Your Kids On Your Team is a valuable contribution to school and community library parenting reference books, and belongs on the reading list of all parenting courses and curriculums. -- Midwest Book Review

It needs music, it needs laughter, and most of all it needs a leader to look up to."Bart grabs a white jacket to match his pants and slides into it. He continues his lecture while surveying himself in the mirror."It needs a shepherd who offers them reassurance every week. A person who tells them that in this great big scary world, everything is gonna be alright."Bart studies his face in the mirror. "That person isn't God, Julie."

Pierre Francois: 5th Grade Mishaps
|
Review "A fun middle-grade novel with a winning protagonist and a charming setting." ~ KIRKUS"This is a thoroughly delightful book aimed at younger readers. ... The mishaps Pierre experiences were much enjoyed and the overall tone of the book led to many "moral" discussions about personal responsibility, compassion etc. Well-done! My thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review." ~Janice B"This 148-page book for kindergartners through sixth graders follows the daily life of an intelligent 10-year-old boy named Pierre Francois. Filled with cute drawings to illustrate the text, this book touches on issues of importance to adolescents: body odor, mucus, urine, vomit, flatulence, and underwear. Underneath these unsavory references (that will surely delight most children of that age), the story explores far more important subjects, such as body image, acceptance, and compassion...Overall, the lively writing, childish preoccupation with body smells and fluids, good-natured cast of characters, and whimsical drawings combine to create an entertaining story with the underlying theme of inclusivity." ~Carol Michaels for IndieReader

Allen Paul earned a graduate degree in international politics from the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University. After college, he worked for the Associated Press and later as a speechwriter in Washington, DC. Review "The authors present a powerful case for why fans, educators, administrators, college athletes and other stakeholders, stand at the edge of the precipice of losing the value and the promise of college sports as it was intended and could be. For those of us interested in preserving that value and realizing the potential of college sports' role in delivering authentic equality and equity in American society, this is a must-read." --Len Elmore, co-chair, Knight Commission; 10-year NBA veteran; 1974 All-American "This book takes on the tough questions around college sports and provides a pathway to reform. It tells the story of inspirational scholar athletes, but it also reveals the exploding commercial underbelly of college sports. The book’s suggested solutions are worthy of our attention if America is to keep sports competition in perspective." --Tom McMillen—president, LEAD1 athletic directors, former Rhodes Scholar, 11-year NBA career, former member of Congress "Frankly, this book is a gut check for Division I university presidents, especially serving at what is currently known as the Power 5 Conferences." --Dick Gould, coach of 17 National Championship tennis teams at Stanford "Powerfully, nimbly, and eloquently written. When you begin reading this book, you have to force yourself to stop." -- John Stauffer—Harvard professor and bestselling author --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

The Gray Wolf and Other Stories
|
Review W. H. Auden "George MacDonald is pre-eminently a mythopoeic writer. . . In his power to project his inner life into images, beings, landscapes which are valid for all, he is one of the most remarkable writers of the nineteenth century." C. S. Lewis "What George MacDonald does best is fantasy—fantasy that hovers between the allegorical and the mythopoeic. And this, in my opinion, he does better than any man." Madeleine L'Engle "Surely George MacDonald is the grandfather of us all—all of us who struggle to come to terms with truth through fantasy." From the Back Cover Part of a newly illustrated set of four paperbacks holding the complete fantasy stories (except for several longer stories readily available elsewhere) of George MacDonald. About the Author (1824-1905) The great nineteenth-century innovator ofmodern fantasy, whose works influenced C. S. Lewis, J. R.R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams. "I do not write forchildren," MacDonald once said, "but for the childlike,whether of five, or fifty, or seventy-five." Read more

China’s Good War: How World War II Is Shaping a New Nationalism
|
Review "A brilliant and profoundly researched work. Mitter demonstrates that alone among major combatant nations, China's official historical narrative of World War II has undergone radical swings not just on the basic facts, but also on how memory serves (or not) to validate China's governments. He provides timely and nuanced insights into how war memory today is deployed by both the Chinese government and the Chinese people." -- "Richard B. Frank, author of Tower of Skulls" "His brilliant account shows how nation has replaced class in the moral narrative China has constructed to frame its national project." -- "Jay Winter, author of War Beyond Words" "Written with the flair we have come to expect from esteemed China historian Rana Mitter, China's Good War provides indispensable and timely context for the upsurge in Chinese nationalism now remaking Sino-foreign relations." -- "Karl Gerth, author of Unending Capitalism" --This text refers to the audioCD edition. About the Author Rana Mitter is a professor of modern Chinese history at the University of Oxford and the author of several books, including A Bitter Revolution . He is a regular contributor to television and radio in Britain and around the world. His writing has appeared in the Financial Times , the Guardian , and elsewhere. --This text refers to the audioCD edition.

Review “...impossible to forget...incite the imagination...I’ve developed a real fondness for so many of these characters” ~ Chrissy, Romance Junkies “Once again, Ms. Braemel demonstrates her ability to create a vibrantly refreshing story that sizzles with a burning sensuality, all with a depth of emotions that will unlock the reader's hidden desires. Personal Protection weaves a compelling and intriguing tale layered with an edge of incredibly intense conspiracy that is sure to have the reader's interest captured. …This is a delightful tale of deception and passion that is sure to stand the test of time.” ~ Shannon, Coffee Time Romance “…a fun and sultry ride from the author’s warning to the very climactic ending. The kinks of the BSDM life are brought to the pages in tantalizing bites while the overlying erotic love of the two are entwined with emotion and humor … the dialogue and interactions between the two main characters and the staff of Hauberk Protection kept me entertained throughout. This was more than a delectable and arousing romp, and I highly recommend this book.” ~ Beautiful Reads From the Author If you enjoyed Personal Protection, you can now read more about Sam and Rosie in PERFECT PROPOSAL on your Kindle.

About the Author Rochelle Carlton lives in a converted barn on the edge of a pine forest close to Auckland City, New Zealand. Her life is shared with two almost adult children, an engineer, numerous cats, horses, dogs and an assortment of farm animals.Her sheds are full of a historic and exotic cars in various states of disrepair. Her spare time is spent fishing on the pristine waters of the Hauraki Gulf, working on the farm, travelling or in the company of friends. I hope you enjoy the story of The Clarke family as much as I have enjoyed creating it!
