Dr. Suess said it best when he said that there is nobody 'youer than you'. But it's not always easy to believe that, because sometimes it's hard to understand what makes you, 'you'. Sometimes you have a hard time believing that there is anything special about you. But there IS something special about you. There are LOTS and LOTS of things about YOU that make you unique and incredibly awesome. It's true! And this book is going to prove it to you! Each page is waiting for you to tell yourself (and whoever else you want to share it with) who you are. Your likes and dislikes. Your hopes and dreams. The things that drive you nuts and make you mad. What you wish other people knew about you. And lots more. So, get ready to write your story like only YOU can tell it.

Just like everything else, when it comes to putting your thoughts and feelings into words, practice makes (almost) perfect. And "Who...What...Where...When...Why...and How!" is the perfect 'place' to practice. Sixteen situations--each one followed by the questions who, what, when, where, why, and how, for YOU to answer YOUR way. By taking the time to put your thoughts and feelings into words-words you can see and read for yourself-you will become more confident about being yourself and telling other people what makes you the amazing and unique person you are. So...ready, set...go WRITE!

This heart-warming memoir is a collection of letters written by Army medic, George Burks to his parents and little brother, while serving our country during WWII. The letters begin when George is in basic training and end exactly one week before he is killed in the Battle of Luzon (South Pacific Campaign). In addition to George's letters, the little brother he was writing to, shares his thoughts and memories of his brother, of the pain and pride of being a Gold Star family, and of what it was like to grow up during this time in our nation's history...sixty-some years after the fact. Reading "All my love, George..." will transport you back in time; making you feel like you are sitting at the kitchen table sharing the lives of the Burks family in a real and personal way.

"Faith is Like Chocolate" is a devotional book for tweens, teens, youth groups, and families learning God's Word together.

Who says learning can't be exciting and fun? Not me! And who said math, science, spelling, reading, and writing can only be taught in the classroom? Not me! "The Medium-Sized Book of Scavenger Hunts" offers scavenger hunters the chance to enjoy the challenge and thrill of the hunt while learning to listen to and follow directions, pay attention to detail, work independently and to work as part of a team. A grocery store, nature trail, the internet, a Christmas lights display, or your house on a rainy day--all of these places (plus a whole lot more) are where your (or your family's) next adventure awaits.

How can the number 5 show you the truth that God never changes? How can a banana prove that God works in your life even when you don't think he is there? Using heat and popcorn to help you understand how God can turn your sadness and pain into something good and wonderful, and learning important truths about God's protection from an orange--these are just a few of the things you do to see, feel, taste, and hear the TRUTH that is the Bible. And that's what "The Sneaky Banana Lesson" is all about. Each of the 27 lessons is easy to do, easy to explain, opens the door to great conversations, and demonstrates the truth of the Bible using science, investigative processes, and all sorts of things God created for us to enjoy. Both students and their teachers/parents will be awed and amazed while being reminded of just how truly great and holy God is.

"Through the Eyes of a Shepherd" is a devotional book reminding us that being called God's sheep is a compliment...not an insult. Each brief story shared by shepherd and author, Darla Noble, is a reminder of just how blessed we are to be cared for by the Good Shepherd and the assurance that he is always there; listening, watching, providing, and loving. "Through the Eyes of a Shepherd" is an excellent resource for personal or group devotions, sermon illustrations, communion meditations, and children's lessons.

Recalling memories of gardens past, laughing over mishaps, remembering with fondness those who shared their garden treasures with me, and marveling out loud (on paper) at the creative genius of God-it's all in here...and more."Jesus and Zinnias Make Me Smile" is a collection of gardening memories and the ah-ha moments from God that took root and blossomed in my heart, soul, and mind. Much like seeds do when I put them in the soil. They blossomed into life lessons that continually help me grow into the woman God intends me to be, and to be more like the Master Gardener--my Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope when you read them they will do the same for you.
