This book is a wonderful book!!! It really is a great adults book. You feel like one of the gobblers! This would make a great Rob Reiner movie!

The Prairie Adventures of Turk and the Gobblers will keep you in stitches, long after the last page is read. This novel is entertainment at its best!

"Seasons of a Mother's" heart is written by Sally Clarkson. Sally is a homeschooling mother of four children and has been home educating since they were born.
In this book, Sally shares from her heart in a very real way. She shares her failures and her successes. She outlines some Biblical principals that she has found helpful in learning to enjoy the homeschool journey.

In "Seasons" she addresses needs particular to homeschooling mothers and exhorts us to be thankful and content. She gives encouragement to seek the Lord and to put our families and homes first, to not live under guilt and to pray. She offers encouragement to us to endure the hard or 'dark' times.

. I was encouraged by Sally's advice when she writes that building our homes requires planning. This book will gently challenge you to focus on certain areas - What is our goal in training our children? In training of their character? How will we train them in these and other areas? How will our homes be structured? What education should you provide for your children? Other serious thought provoking points that are raised are -Are we prepared to give what it takes to train your children? Sally recognizes that homeschooling takes effort- physical, emotional and personal effort. Is it worth it?

Sally offers instruction when talking about how to build these principals on a strong foundation. As Christians, our foundation must be biblical principals and she outlines these in a very gentle way.

"Seasons of a Mother's Heart" can be read straight through from cover to cover or as a devotional or even used in a homeschool support group discussion. At the end of each chapter there are a few relevant Scriptures and room for you to record your own thoughts and also some practical advice for discussion or application into your personal and family life.

A gentle but firm book that should probably be read on a regular basis by mothers and homeschooling mothers. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would wholeheartedly recommend it.

This book is an inspiration to all mothers, especially those who are homeschooling their children. She shares her stuggles as well as her successes, with heartwarming anecdotes to which we can all relate. This book should be on the shelf of all mothers who are striving, and sometimes struggling, to give their children the best in life. It is a trusted friend in those times of dryness and discouragement. God bless Sally Clarkson for sharing herself with us.

This book is as real as it gets. Accurate, and moving.

This is a frighteningly real story that delivers a message that all should read and consider.
The book paints a true to life picture of the dilemma faced by all societies of the world in finding a solution to the destruction rooted in drugs.
The subject of alternate avenues to the unsuccessful "War on Drugs" is one that has not been given due debate by this nation's media.

This is absolutely the best book on pottery/clay that I have read. It is clearly written, thorough and most of all inspirational. Scott Piepenburg weaves the importance of the reader's personal and spiritual self in relation to working with clay with easy to follow instructional text. Highly recommended!

Very well written, complete coverage of contempory craft ceramics. It's the one book I keep going back to. Nice discussion of the emotional/spiritual side of creating in clay which most books ignore. Excellent presentation graphically & visually too.

This book may be of special interest to homeschoolers since the main character Jessica is homeschooled (as was the author).

Part of Jessica's story is about her having her faith challenged by a skeptical friend and then trying to figure out why she does indeed believe in God. The author cleverly weaves Jessica's struggle into the story so that it flows naturally rather than dominates the book. In an afterword the author presents some classical arguments to prove God's existence, as well as some discussion questions. I thought this was an interesting and thought-provoking addition to a youngster's novel.

This is the kind of story that I would definitely recommend to young girls between 7th and 11th grades. The story was very well-written and entertaining, and it kept my interest the whole time. It is extremely appropriate for and applicable to teenagers because they need to have real answers regarding the origin of the world and their faith, and this is a fun story that solidifies the answers to the questions we all ask sometimes. It is a great story of discovery and soul-searching, but it does not come across as an over-simplified religious doctrinal statement...rather an honest search for truth that ends in a young girl's confidence in her Maker. Anne is a masterful storyteller who weaves the events of the story into three arguments for the existence of God in an understandable and memorable way. The characters and places she creates from her own experiences come alive to her readers. The readers can relate to the struggles Jessica faces, even if the remote surroundings and unusual events are far from familiar to them. The importance of the issues Anne tackles cannot be underestimated, and she brilliantly explains from different Scriptures and experiences how a person can know that there is a God and what that God is like.

As usual, CC delivers. Every story in the collections is a keeper.

Do yourself a favor- buy this one...

and check out his other books, Clay is prolific, but keeps it fresh.

The title is only the beginning. Route 66 isn't the only highway these boys travel. Two snaps up in Z formation . . . what a freeing, feel good novel!

I have been reading Clays Reynolds' works since Franklins Crossing, and find each one to be even more enjoyable than the previous. I didn't just read The Tentmaker, I devoured it. The characters are well rounded, and truly breathe with a life of their own on the pages. I found myself identifying with Gil Hooley as if I had known him all my life. I could clearly see him throwing up his hands and yelling, "WHAT?!" with every encounter he had with Margot Phillips, the red-haired Madam. And as for Margot, she is without doubt the most vexing, stubborn, irritating, alluring woman I have seen in some time. I found myself laughing out loud each time she would browbeat Hooley into doing what she wanted, and then berate him for doing it with the next breath. Hooley is a man, who through the accident of fate, ends up becoming everything he has never really wanted to be. And as a result of this, is placed in the very uncomfortable position of having to defend what he never really wanted in the first place. And through his actions, he becomes a hero, albeit, a reluctant hero. This is a well written, and extremely engaging book. Whether or not you are a fan of Western Fiction, and if you never read another book of this genre, read this book. You won't regret it.

This is one of best tales I've come across in years. The hapless Gil Hooley is constantly trying to find a quiet place to read and smoke his pipe, yet the camp he established quickly becomes a settlement, and is determined to grow into a town. The poor guy, everything he says comes out wrong, so he is forced into situations that could have been avoided. Clay Reynolds has created a winner, not to be missed.

Once again, Dr. Trumbull shows his capacity for research and his ability to bring what could be an arcane subject to life. This in-depth look at the Threshold Covenant from ancient times around the world to the present day (late 19th Century for Trumbull) is one of the best books written on this subject even though it was first written in the late 1800's. That this book is a true classic is shown by the fact that no one, in the last 150 years, has produced a book equal to it. Excellent resource for understanding this fundamental covernant, the Threshold Covenant

If your considering this book, then you've probably already read his book, The Blood Covenant. The basic difference between the two is that blood covenant deals with the relationship side of a covenant in which two become one by the shedding of blood. Or in other words, the two covenanting parties enter into an agreement on an equal basis (e.g., what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine). However, a threshold covenant is slightly different in that while it acknowledges the parties as equal, it also brings out the governmental responsibilities of each and establishes a chain of command. For example, in a marriage, which is properly a threshold covenant and not purely a blood covenant as we often confuse, both parties are equal in terms of sharing all things, but different in terms of the responsibilities and roles that they play - and it is in defining these specific roles as husband/father, wife/mother that the threshold covenant emphasizes - an aspect which is generally overlooked by the church at large. And while it may appear that the differences are contradictory, Trumbull illustrates that in fact they are not, but rather serve to strengthen one another if used properly.

If it wasn't for John, I may never have learned to take entomology both as seriously and as lightly as I take it now! This is the field guide you've been waiting for, combining great photos and drawings with distribution data and colourful anecdotes. Quite possibly the ultimate tiger beetle book! P.S., that's me with the tattoos!

John Acorn's "Tiger Beetles of Alberta" is a model of the kind of book that serves the needs of amateur naturalists and professional biologists wanting to identify the plants and animals they encounter. Since most of the literature is either arcane or (more often) unavailable, books like Acorn's fulfill a real need. The text will not only allow the reader to identify the beetle species, but it also provides information about the beetle's ecology, behavior, and related topics. Range maps also help the reader identify the species. The photographs and drawings are spectacular. Yet two "quirky" features distinguish this book: first, the haiku Acorn has composed for each species; second, the anecdotes he provides about tiger beetle people. The book is not only informative; it is entertaining. Additional features include a discussion of tiger beetle conservation. maintaining tiger beetles in captivity, observing tiger beetles, and a useful bibliography.

I would just like to say that I am the author of this book and I hope that it will help other's to stop smoking before it is to late for them , like it was for me. Have you ever wondered what your smoking habbit was really doing to you,or maybe a family member or a friend. Take your time when you read this story it just might have the anwser's to the questions you have been asking yourself and your doctor for a long long time.

Thank's
Mr. Ferlin Clay Morgan
