I was very hesitant to order nursery rhymes without seeing the book as many of the newer ones have changed the rhymes. These books have left them in the form I remember learning as a young child which is what I wanted for my grand children. I am very happy with these books.

A Treasury of Nursery Rhymes : Over the Hills and Far Away, Ring-A-Ring O' Roses & A Ding, Dong, Bell -- The hard cover boxed set is a great item for a great value.

The books contain traditional and classic rhymes. The illustrations are what make the books exceptional. They are BEAUTIFUL. I would definately recommend these books over any of the Mother Goose books on the market. I'm buying it again as a gift.

Cae Cordell bravely lets you enter her life and experience the horror of sexual abuse that she endured from childhood into young adulthood. This book is her second in a chronciled triology of her life. A must read to understand the harsh reality that too many children must endure and become surviovors of sexual abuse.

With On A Hill Too Far Away: Putting The Cross Back Into The Center Of Our Lives, John Fischer explores the centrality of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ to the Christian faith. Drawing upon the image of a 15-foot cross bolted front and center inside a Connecticut church, Fischer provides concrete Bible-based steps for Christian living. Other very highly recommended Fischer titles for a Christian readership include Ashes On The Wind; Saint Ben; The Saints' And Angels' Song; 12 Steps For The Recovering Pharisee; and True Believers Don't Ask Why.

I first read Diane Noble's writing when I read Promise Me the Dawn under the name of Amanda MacLean. Ms. Noble is an excellent author. She does an excellent job of finding new areas to write Christian Fiction about. I enjoyed this book's characters and their search for the love that God has for them. This book has an excellent message of waiting upon God's timing, even if difficult situations. I look forward to the next two sequels and seeing what lays ahead for the characters.

Far Hills has joined the list of my all time favorite books. If you're looking for romance, spirituality, adventure, and suspense, this is the novel for you. With well-crafted characters that stay with you long after reading the final word on the last page, and an uplifting testimony to God's grace, mercy, and love, Ms. Noble has written a moving and gripping story, one that I will read again and again.

It's 1860s California and the Byrne family is about to lose their home, Rancho de la Paloma because they have had to use all available finances to fight to prove its boundaries. Aislin Byrne has been friends with Jamie Dearbourne from the neighboring rancho all her life and it was always believe they would marry, so when he asks for her hand just before he leaves to go fight in the Civil War, no one is surprised. But when word comes of Jamie's death, it seems it will be necessary for Aislin to marry Jamie's brother, Spence, in order to help save both their ranchos. Then, when word comes that Jamie might not be dead after all, Aislin joins in the search and will be honor-bound to marry him even though she has found it is Spence she really loves. Aislin's father doesn't realize that his supposed friend, Hugh Dearbourne, father to Jamie and Spence is actually sabotaging his efforts to save his home and everything he has worked so hard to achieve. Jamie and Spence soon join forces to break and deliver wild mustangs to the army in order to save the rancho and in doing so, attempt to find out the truth about Jamie as well.

This is an outstanding novel, superbly crafted and richly textured with may surprising twists and turns. Published by Bantam's Christian/Inspirational imprint, Waterbrook Press, this novel will appeal to historical romance readers everywhere. Although the character's beliefs are quite evident, they never overpower the story, and simply help motivate Aislin, Spence, and others to keep going even though the going gets tough. Diane Noble is one of the best writers of "inspirational" romance today. Her thoroughly researched, compelling stories are worthy of a wider audience than they will receive simply marketed as "inspirational" novels. This book shouldn't simply be read by the "Christian" audience as the beliefs expressed by the characters are universal. I understand its the first of a trilogy, but this one certainly stands on its own.

The first in a series, these books are well written, and make you come back for more after each one. A definite faith builder.

This book was a page turner that held my attention and sent me looking for more. The book transcended well from the trama of WWII and those it left behind to carry on with every day life. I felt close to the character; crying, laughing and rejoicing with each of them through it all. I am now reading the book to our teenage kids for family time. They like it!

Over the Hills and Far Away is an imaginative, whimsical, artist's remembrance of growing from a farm girl in the Hill Country of So. Ill to getting an education in a major university, to obtaining national recognition by lonely soldiers, and courtship by a WWII "city feller."

Those of us who lived in rural America reminisce with fond memories of a simpler, gentler time. Our grandchildren who live in such a different world can glimpse the roots from whence they came.

This is a must-read delightful book of a pleasant era and the pathos of the World War II period.
