It is rare that I review a book that I believe should be in every library, this is one of those very few books that meet the criteria for such a recommendation. This book should be in every Christian church library and on the shelves of any Christian with young children.

"God Is With You: That Is All You Need" is a wonderful book detailing various scenarios where children might be afraid and supplying just the right amount of scripturally based advice. The book deals effectively with situations like when you feel lonely, when you are afraid, when things go wrong and you want to give up, when you have a hurt that won't go away, when people lie about you, when you feel understood, when you are concerned about the future, when you are asked to do something very difficult for you, and when your best friend moves away. These are some of the most common and difficult problems of children and the teachings of this book can help them move through those difficult times. The book ends with a very basic version of the plan of salvation and invites the child to ask Jesus into their life.

In addition to a wonderful story, "God Is With You" is beautifully illustrated by Corbert Gauthier. The detailed and brilliant use of color creates a visual feast that is sure to hold a child's attention even with the rather long readings on some of the pages. I will be sure to look for the name Corbert Gauthier as illustrator on other children's books when considering items for review.

In summary, this is one of the most highly recommended children's books that I have ever reviewed.

First-off, we would like to tip our golf caps to the two authors, Sharon Gerardi & Nadine Nemecheck, job well done. As you know, golf is a time consuming sport and if you love to walk it can be tiring after 18 holes. The last thing a golfer wants to do is cook a meal, until now. This clever little cookbook is fun, entertaining and easy to follow.

The book is loaded with clever golf named meals. Here are some examples: "Don't Shank it" Lamb Shanks, Chippy Chili Dip and Don't Choke (It's Only a Game) Chocolate Pie, just to mention a few. The books starts off with cocktails and appetizers (The Starter) and finishes off with wonderful desserts (Hole #9 The Sweet Spot). Try the Golf Bag Peanut Butter Crunch, a GolfOutlet.com favorite. It is so simple and great to stick in your bag for quick energy on the course. The book is jammed with quick prep meals, as well as meals that can be prepared while you are on the golf course, here is an example, The Niblick 5 hour Stew, perfect even for public course play.

Not only are the receipes exceptional but the book is loaded with fun golf trivia and facts. This book is fantastic. We would consider it any golfer's yardage book for accurate fun cooking.

I have read this book and enjoyed it immensely. John Duncklee tells a simple tale, woven in his own unique manner, speaking eloquently of the early days in Arizona/Sonora territory. Thank you for such a vivid and realisitic approach: Even kids from New York can become the kindest of Cowboys.

Reading this book to my son brought back so many chidhood memories of spending time at my grandaddy's place. It is a wonderful story for teaching young children about relationships with older adults and learning to appreciate differnt lifestyles.

Celeste De Blasis brings the story of growing up on a southern California desert to life. I grew up on the high desert also. DeBlasis put voice to my memories of blood red sunrises, sunsets that turned the desert to pure gold, and the starry starry nights of our youth, the stars almost close enough to touch, are not so bright now with the ever encroaching sea of red tile roofs. now that people driven from L.A. by high costs of housing to our precious desert, to live cheap and commute far. When I read this book I was living in Montana. Celeste de blasis brought the desert and ranch life to me again and in our shared regret at losing the wide open, I thought "It isn't gone. It has just moved 1000 miles north to Montana."

Having just returned from Canyon Ranch and experiencing the food first hand, I had to purchase the cookbook. All the meals at Canyon Ranch were wonderful. The recipes here are just as wonderful. The ingredients are easy to buy and the dishes are also easy to prepare. The directions are simple enough for anyone to follow. All the dishes are spa gourmet. Even people who don't need to lose weight, but just want to eat heathly, will benefit from this book. I highly recommend this one!

This book, the third in the series that includes "My Friend Flicka," and "Thunderhead," is just as delightful as the first two books. In this book the characters are lavishly developed and the fascinating story line is continued. This is a must read for anyone who loves horse stories.

The new Rourke series, Life On The Farm, is designed for students in grades 1-4 with a grade 3 reading level, and focuses on providing young readers with information and insights into what farms and farm life are like. The six volumes that comprise this wonderfully written and superbly illustrated series include Farm Animals (exploring the wide array of products that are derived from cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, goats, and poultry); Farm Buildings (including silos, blacksmith shops, windmills, packing plants, lofts, dairy barns, sugar houses, and pig sties); Farm Crops (focusing on the planing, harvesting, and importance of corn, soybean, lettuce, and orange crops); Farm Machinery (tractors, sprayers, tillage machines, combines, balers, seeding and harvest machines); Farms Old and New (the history of farming and the impact of science and technology on modern farms); Growing Up On A Farm (informative descriptions of how farm life differs from urban living, the farm environment, farm chores, and farm fun!). Hallmarked with an oversized, easy-to-read text, informative photo-captions, a glossary, an index, and a list of resources for further study (including bibliographies and websites), this outstanding series is also available in Spanish (La vida en la granja, 1589521803).

This beautifully illustrated story book is more than just an interesting farmyard tale (and it is cute, although the farm is from another century). The stickers help children to identify the key words, and the hidden ducks on each page help little ones with their powers of obsevation. This book is just as suitable for children just learning to talk as those learning to read. Outline drawings of the key words are replaced with colored stickers and the word. My 18 month daughter just giggled with delight each time she found the duck and received her "I found the Duck" reward sticker, and she learned quite a few new words as we worked through the stickers. Now six weeks later she still enjoys reading the story book. I liked it so well I'll probably buy all the books in this series.
