I dearly love the author of this book and his writings. I've been following his work for many years and hope to do so for many more. I'm waiting 'patiently' for his next work. Thanx, David, keep up the good work.

You will want to read these pages over and over again. David Foster's words are poignant, stirring and dynamic. They easily make their way to your soul!

Kids ages 5-10 and their parents will find Walking The World In Wonder an inviting survey of the medicinal and magical uses of over sixty common herbs. Each herb introduces itself and talks about its uses, with activities reinforcing the lessons on basic herbal skills, along with simple recipes kids can use.

This book is a delight for children of ALL age! For those just exploring the magical world of nature to those young at heart. The beautiful photography and illustrations along with the wondrous style of writing is enchanting. This is a marvelous addition to any library, full of information from the practical and medicinal uses of herbs to a beautiful introduction to the wheel of the year and cycles of nature, with glimpses into ancient folklore of various cultures.

I read this book over and over as a child and I think it influenced my involvement in foster care now. St. John writes with a real knowledge of what a children who find themselves in trouble are like. It is realistic, and yet extremely hopeful.

I think the book is warm and shows some interesting aspects of real life and how much Jesus can change our hearts through love. I specially like the picture of Jesus being the spring of water that changes everything where it flows into green.

It usually takes me a long time to read a book. But when I recieved Willow and Twig, I had it read in one and a half days. This inseparable pair will tear at your heart as they go through their journey from the streets of Vancouver to their grandma's home, Stonecrop in Ontario. The characters and story are a mixture of truth and fiction. Willow & Twig is a real treasure.

Willow and Twig was one of the best books I have ever read! It was interesting and exciting. I liked the writting style. Excellent reading i couldn't put it down!

As a Love and Logic instructor, a parent and school counselor, I am familiar with many of the L&L tapes and concepts. Because of this, it is unusual to have an "ah-hah" moment such as the one I had listening to "Homework Battles." As parents and educators, our dream is to find a way for our kids to do homework for their own benefit, and hopefully take ownership for grades, missing or late assignments, and to enjoy the benefits and fun of school. In an enjoyable and nonjudgemental format, the authors point out how parents can do the exact wrong things for the right reasons, making homework and grades into an adolescent power struggle or a drudgery by forcing our value systems and expectations down our child's throat at the exact time they are rejecting our values out of hand. The authors also point out how we, as parents, do not receive report cards in regards to our parenting skills, so we take ownership of our child's performance at school as a close surrogate. Bad idea, and fundementally counter-productive.

This tape helps parents focus on a child's strengths, thereby building self-esteem and a good self-concept, through placing ownership of the grades squarely on their shoulders. All the pizzaz is placed on the positives while only gently touching upon the student's weaknesses. The authors compare this with having your spouse review your output during your day when all you want is to come home to a safe, supportive house. Even with the spouses best intentions, how long would you stay married to someone who only concentrated upon your weaknesses?

Get the tape...it has changed how I work with parents, students, and my own children! It works, and it makes the whole process much more fun for the parent.

This tape was my first introduction to the Love & Logic program and now I'm hooked on the idea! The ideas presented in the tape are just what I needed to give me the freedom from my teenager's homework and turning the responsibility back to him! It all makes so much sense! Most parent's probably need to learn from these tapes that our responsibility to our children is to let them learn to take responsibility for their actions!! Excellent tape and they're fun to listen to!

At sixteen Winter has come home. Not that anyone wants her there but the farm is hers and she won't be stopped. But for all her bull-headedness and the reader's wonder at why she's so stubborn soon becomes apparent when Winter sees better than the adults do what is really going on on her land. We thrill to Winter's cleverness at finding the guilty freeloaders and tossing them out on their ears.
The memories that have been teasing Winter about her parents are also chillingly brought to life by her Great-Aunt Rita.
Through it all we think that Winter will be just fine. And we're sort of glad she gets to be a kid again, too.

Winter is just unbelievable.

I know some people who didn't like the book, but I personally found it amazing, and so did my parents, who I forced to read it after I finished.

John Marsden has written another amazing piece of work. Like all his other books, it's got an edge to it, although the storyline of this book isn't quite as alternative as some of his other books, it has an almost "detached" feel to it.

Absolutely amazing. I would recommend this book, and any other by John Marsden to any one over the age of 15.

I just wanted to mention that the famous line in the Yeats poem, the one that goes:

And what rough beast, its hour come at last,
Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?

was probably a reference to my poor uncle Ted with a bad case of the scabies. He's prone to skin rashes of various origins but of almost Biblical proportions. But the ones caused by those damn "crotch crickets" are the worst.

Other than the minor omission of the above point, I found this to be an excellent and scholarly book on the subject.

This is the book they didn't want you to read. Be afraid, be very afraid as Foster McCurley welcomes you to the all-star Hebrew Tag-Team House of Pain, featuring your favourite bouts from the Holy Land. Who can forget the grudge match between David "Lion of Judah" and Goliath "The Uncircumcised Philistine"? Things got pretty wild as the six-cubit-and-a-span man from Gath, who was 23-0 going into the bout (4 submissions and 19 smitings), threatened to feed the Bethlehemite's flesh to the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field. But Holy Moly, the anointed son of Jesse used his trademark "Slingshot Face-Driver Powerplay" and smote the big man! Eat dirt Philistine!

This is an anthology for thoughtful people. Every poem is excellent. There is an interesting reason for each poem's inclusion. I wish these editors would write another book.

"A Year in Poetry" offers 365 poems for each day of the year. The true genius of this anthology comes from the intriguing use of dates in the poems. Sometimes the date comes from the poem's title, sometimes it is the date on which the poem was composed by the author, and sometimes the date is related to historical events depicted in the poem.

The first thing I did when I saw this book was turn to significant dates in my life (birthdays, anniversaries, deaths) and read the poem for that day. It was more revealing than a horoscope, and much more engaging! I learned from this book that my wedding anniversary falls on the same day that Cleopatra committed suicide, commemorated in the text with an excerpt from Shakespeare.

This anthology is not a cheesy collection of "feel-good" poems. Some of these poems will inspire you, others will depress you, some might confuse you. There is a wide range of styles and authors in this book. There are poets that are familiar, and poets I've never heard of. Overall, the collection of poetry in this book makes me want to read much more than just the "poem of the day."

This book offers a great way to bring poetry into your daily life, and for those who are already poetry fanatics, this book presents poems in a new and intriguing light. It also provides a whole range of gift opportunities--who wouldn't like to read a poem composed on their birthday? This anthology wonderfully displays the variety, beauty and meaning of English and American poetry.
