Exquisitely done: a look at how different cultures have seen

Mary Hoffman and Jane Ray team up to write and illustrate these books that show how many cultures have interpreted and been inspired by these elements and share myths, beleifs, and ...

But I Don't Have a Vocation!
I have read hundreds of historical mysteries and this one is top notch. Once I started it, I did not want to put it down. The main protagonists are Silvano, who has sought sanctuary in a Franciscan Friary after being accused of a murder he did not commit, and Chiara, who is forced to enter a neighboring convent because her family does not have the money for a dowry. The supporting characters are ...

An exceptional "extension" to the award-winning picture book
What better way to elevate and captivate elementary readers than to provide them with a chapter book that utilizes a character familiar from the pre-school years!!! "Starring Grace" takes Grace to another level, a story rich in language and real-life situations. The book does not "talk down" to its reader; in fact, it uses vocabulary that is challenging and enlightening: troupe, megaphone, ...

Lifesaving
The Next to the Last Word is far more than a how-to book on relationships. It helped me develop a whole new attitude about life. While reading about the author's life and the coflicts his clients have worked through, I felt as if Dr. Barr and I were having a conversation. This book is very well written, full of life and gives hope for the future. I highly recommend it to people in all types ...

Good for children and adults
This story provides real life thoughtful questions for adults through the eyes of children. It gives an appropriate sense for children's desire to see themselves reflected in the world around them. I read this story at our school to 3-5 year olds. It was well received by children AND their parents.

There is a neat little historical page at the about princesses throughout history. The kids enjoyed this read and asked to hear it again. But then ...

A Good Spiritual Tool
What jumps out at you about this book is the subtitle. It reaaly is THAT Peter. The message that Simon the Peter is giving here is one of elegant simplicity. This is a quality I've always felt has rung true to me in my spiritual journey. There is nothing here to cause alarm to any who seek a path to peace and understanding. Of course, along with the life lessons offered is a ...
