In this uplifting collection, you'll find true stories about the day-to-day minutiae and miracles of being the mom to a preschooler: from finding peace and purpose in what can seem (and look!) like chaos; from solving sibling rivalry to celebrating sibling revelry; from the sorrow of letting go to enjoying some personal independence as your "big kid" goes off to school.
The teaching career helps so many children in great need of wisdom for their age-group, as well as finding how they might help with other stressors in their students' lives. This teacher is a golden nugget. The child involved is facing a challenge in his life that is brought to school when he shares it with his friends. In return, the teacher gets involved when she finds out about his unhappiness. Clearly, his stressor is that his family is moving from the only home he has ever known, and he is leaving family behind that he loves very dearly. The teacher provides a new friend for her student that brings great joy and friendship into the child's life. This friend is filled with memories for the child to take on his journey to his new home where he could then replace any loneliness with happiness. After 30 years in the business world I took an early retirement. I filled my extra time with church work, gardening, crafting, knitting and helping with our beloved grandchildren. However, there was still a void in my heart that needed to be filled. The fullness came when I started writing about memories from the past and present. My husband, Bob, and I have a blended marriage of 3 children, 10 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren (at this time). I am sure there will be more greats to come. I was blessed to be able to go to Israel in 2005. What a wonderful adventure I shared with many from the church we attended at that time. Bob and I are active members of Gracepoint church in Whiteland, Indiana. Bob is a deacon, helps with sanctuary cleaning and the church's food bank. I am in the choir, attend women's bible study, and we are both involved in a Grace to Glory group as well as a Life Group. I give all honor, glory and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ who has put the words to my heart to author this book.

Four friends. Four college grads. Four people figuring out that life doesn’t always turn out the way you expected. Just weeks before graduating, Lilac Townsend throws away her elementary school teacher job offer in Minnesota to work in Florida at the official resort of her favorite vacation spot, Tildy World. Pushing down all second thoughts, she fills her mind with visions of sunny beaches and Tildy Tapir, the cartoon character who always promised to make her childhood dreams come true. Unfortunately, between a sleazy boss and a community college student in a character suit who manages to fray her last nerve, Lilac soon learns that working behind the scenes at the park is hardly “happily ever after.” Nolan Gregosky had plans after graduating high school a few years back: go to college, join a fraternity, and make some memories before earning a degree. Instead, tragedy sidelined those dreams, but his job posing for pictures with drooling, snot-nosed kids as Silly Sandgrouse gives him a chance to unload some pent-up energy. When the stunning but uptight new assistant manager at the resort proves a distraction in more ways than one, Nolan realizes it’s up to him to show her what it means to eat, live, and breathe life at the park. A relationship at this unsteady stage of their lives might not be the brightest idea for either of them, but it’s hard to ignore that tingling sensation whenever the paths of this plush-suit beast and naïve beauty collide. Readers of slightly racy romance will enjoy this geeky contemporary coming of age romance series about recent college graduates navigating career paths and love. An ideal read for fans of Cassie Mae, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Cora Carmack, Lindy Zart, and Tammara Weber.
"Love" at first was named "To Find The Way" but once I came to the end of the story I realized that that was not a suitable name for the piece. Seeing that towards the end it was not himself that found the way but Christ had found him. The scripture says that "For I have chosen you"; for we have not chosen God, but God has chosen us. The story at first had not even been a story but had originated as a thought, and then in some way it turned into this tragedy that replayed over and over again in my mind. But as this story continued to flow through my mind over the course of months I saw this revival. I saw God work in this boy's life. The fact that I could feel him, feel his pain, his anger, and could truly sympathize with him. Several times during this story I cried and several times my chest filled with anger and then sickness. I can honestly say that I felt all of the pain that he felt though probably not to the extremity that he had--felt. "Love" contains much degrading speech to women, men, and whites and blacks due to the urban setting in which the story takes place. The book has been written this way to help paint a picture of how the main character and his friends situation is so serious, and also to add a contrast of the lifestyle which comes at the end of the story. Along with the realization of the degrading lifestyle in which the main characters were leading. This does not necessarily represent the views of I the author, especially the racist comments and slurs throughout the story. But it is only there to represent the mindset of the main character. Along with the sexual scenes, since this is a sexual abuse story, they are there only to describe and to shed some light on the outrageous-ness of the crime and the deadly, destructive consequences from it. And lastly the violence throughout the story was thought through thoroughly and was determined that it must be included to again paint a picture of how crazy, delusional, and numb to all care and feeling the main character was. Hopefully this forewarning will be greatly appreciated by the readers reading this book. I pray that this book to whoever may read it will not become hung up on the degrading speech, violence, and sex, but will be able to see it for what it is and receive the true meaning from the book. That of the love that Christ gives, free of charge, to anyone despite what you've done or who you are. I pray that God be glorified in this and that those reading the book will be touched, but then more than touched--be astounded by the glory of God in the book. And if not believers themselves that they too will become saved.
In the book Grands Visit the Planetarium, you will find that it is very family orientated. Grandma and Grandpa love having their grandchildren come to visit. They plan interesting things for them to do and love participating with them. After their own children grow up and move out, they look forward to spending time with their grandchildren. Grandma enjoys getting ready by baking cookies. Grandpa prepares by mowing the lawn and tightening the screws on the Jungle Jim and swing set. Grandma and Grandpa find themselves amused by their grandchildrens antics. They also love the way their grandchildren work together. It fills Grandmas and Grandpas hearts having their grandchildren around. Grandparents are at a disadvantage when it comes to books directed toward them raising their grandchildren. The Grand series focuses on just that, along with the time they spend together. The Grand series centers on how you would like your grandchildren to respond to the rest of the family. The series also allows grandparents to personalize the story by inputting your grandchildrens names into the book.
The sequel to the award-winning Stepping on the Cracks. “Sometimes heart-rending, sometimes funny, Gordy Smith will prove memorable to all who meet him.”—Booklist (starred review) In Following My Own Footsteps, sixth-grader Gordy Smith comes to grips with the fear that he’ll turn out no better than his abusive father . . . With his father now in jail and one brother hospitalized, Gordy’s mother has no choice but to take the family to their wealthy grandmother’s house in North Carolina. There Gordy meets William, a boy who had polio and is now wheelchair bound. Though they become friends, Gordy’s plans to help William fail spectacularly. Matters only get worse when Gordy’s father is released from prison and his mother is poised to give him a second chance. Gordy must decide where he belongs—with his dysfunctional parents or with the grandma who is more than his match in toughness, in courage, and in love. “A cast of unforgettable characters inhabit this work, seasoned with WW II setting but utterly contemporary in its concerns. Hahn is in top form, proving through Gordy’s first-person narration that real love can triumph over all kinds of adversity, and often does.”—Kirkus Reviews “The complex characterizations, period setting and Gordy’s brave attempts to break a cycle of violence will hold readers’ interest.”—Publishers Weekly “It’s a timeless social issue really, in any era, of having a dysfunctional abusive parent . . . A very good story showcasing complex friendships, familial relationships, and inner conflict, all set in WW2 America.”—Cats and Fiction
When it comes to parenting, sometimes you have to trust your gut. With her first book, It’s OK Not to Share, Heather Shumaker overturned all the conventional rules of parenting with her “renegade rules” for raising competent and compassionate kids. In It’s Ok To Go Up the Slide, Shumaker takes on new hot-button issues with renegade rules such as: - Recess Is A Right - It’s Ok Not To Kiss Grandma - Ban Homework in Elementary School - Safety Second - Don’t Force Participation Shumaker also offers broader guidance on how parents can control their own fears and move from an overscheduled life to one of more free play. Parenting can too often be reduced to shuttling kids between enrichment classes, but Shumaker challenges parents to reevaluate how they’re spending their precious family time. This book helps parents help their kids develop important life skills in an age-appropriate way. Most important, parents must model these skills, whether it’s technology use, confronting conflict, or coping emotionally with setbacks. Sometimes being a good parent means breaking all the rules.
