Each short story in Tales from Down on the Farm: Bedtime Stories for Anxious Children is told from the prospective of a small cat called Bo, who discovers as he grows up that life is not only full of surprises, but is also full of problems that must be solved. With the help of his own observations and those of other animals on the farm, Bo learns to experience and adapt to the ups and downs of life, which makes him more confident and self-assured. Interactions with his friends help Bo understand that we are all different, which enables him to look at things differently. Within each story of the book, there is a problem or obstacle that Bo has to recognize and find a way to overcome. Children reading these stories may recognize their own situation and realize that there is always a way around problems! As young readers begin to come up with their own solutions, their own levels of self-esteem and confidence will also rise, right along with Bo!
I am number 13 in a family of 17 children. We grew up on a farm where everyone did everything. No one was excluded from contributing to getting the chores done. It was hard work and we never lacked for anything that was important. There was sibling rivalry and a lot of laughter. We played as hard as we worked.Mom was the glue and the disciplinarian. The lesson ingrained was: Family is always important. Be true to yourself. Mom and Dad had their issues, yet you saw those flashes of love. I had the pleasure of getting to know my mother as a woman first. Once we developed that relationship, I have always respectfully treated every adult as a person first and parent second. As adults, we have needs and those needs do not always get met as parents. That gift alone is precious beyond words.A tear escaped my father while he read a piece I wrote for him. I have been writing all my life. Life changes have sparked my creative energy to write. This was not the book I began. This was the book that I always wanted to write: my poetry/prose.About the AuthorDiane E. Peeling grew up in Prince Edward County in Ontario and now lives near Edmonton. She began writing a journal called Divorce by Dementia after her husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness. "I found myself on a roller coaster of emotion with no particular outlet. A nurse that specialized in dementia testing suggested I write a book."

Do You Understand the Bible? If not, this is the book for you. Written to help the layperson more easily understand the Bible, this helpful guide also teaches how to apply the lessons in the Bible to everyday living. The great themes of the Bible such as creation, obedience, faith, hope, mercy, charity, and love are woven together from the beginning of Genesis to the end of The Revelation. Love, according to Christ, is the basis for all teaching and prophecy, and hence the foundation that scripture stands on. If we can understand what the Bible is saying about these great themes, we can apply them to daily living and have happier, more productive lives. About the Author Lew Norris grew up in Atlanta, and retired in 2000 to St. Augustine, Florida, America's oldest city, established in 1565. "It took many years for me to grasp that the apparent contradictions in the Bible only appeared that way because of my poor comprehension of its meaning. When I taught Sunday school, I gained far more than my students because of the great research necessary to prepare a good lesson. I've poured the same dedicated study into my manuscript."

The time is the twenty-third century. Richard Cox is the commander of the Johnson Point Space Surveillance Installation on Danovian Prime. For five years there has been relative calm in this region of interstellar space. An uptick in monitored subspace and regular frequency radio traffic discloses disturbing calls for help, as entire worlds in an area known as Gulf are being obliterated! As Cox, Executive Officer Genni Carr, and Prime Minister Jon Dewey confer, the cause of this destruction has been transported for hiding at the North Pole of their terrestrial moon Trinity by two male Terran ne'er-do-wells and two female Dakkarosi denizens. An ancient modified Expansion War-era Terran transport is spotted from orbit by a vessel on routine patrol, as it's in the process of unloading a huge block of ancient silver metal. The perpetrators are apprehended and interrogated on Danovia. It's disclosed that these Dakkarosi denizens ignited the spreading conflict by stealing this object from the unknown and powerful Ypsilanti Empire! As the gravity of this situation is debated, they listen in stunned disbelief: The Terran males have secretly ferried scores of Dakkarosi to Trinity! That act alone has now placed Danovia in the cross hairs of the most lethal killing machine in the cosmos! The personnel of Johnson Point can only hold their breaths as this situation spawned in the depths of interstellar space spirals out of control in Volume 1 of "In The Crosshairs: The Interstellar War Ignites!"
