sensory secrets how to jump start learning in children
Of everything that I've read this is the best book. Its a fairly quick read. It's broken down into very specific catigories. It gives you warning signs. It tells you how to work on a problem with professionals. It shows you hundreds of ways to work on each specific sensory motor problem. It also helps you to evaluate your own child and explains how certain holes in the learning foundation ...

Concerned Communications, 2001

motivating curriculum!
My first-grade daughter enjoys this curriculum. Each week focuses on one Scripture verse, most often from Psalms or Proverbs. The student traces then copies a few words on each of the first three days of the week. On the fourth day, the student writes the entire verse on practice paper. The last day of the week, the student gets to choose a special "border sheet" on which they will write the ...

A Scientist's Guide to Talking with the Media: Practical Advice from the Union of Concerned Scientists

Richard Hayes, Daniel Grossman

Rutgers University Press, 2006

useful in more ways than you might think
Outside of journal articles and student papers, my reading list is extremely limited. A Scientist's Guide to Talking with the Media is not the sort of book that is likely to make that list. Nevertheless, having received several recommendations from colleagues, and forced into convalescence while recovering from surgery, I picked up a copy of the book and was pleasantly surprised. The writing was ...

Extraordinary Book for Necessary Due Diligence
I was not vaccinated as a child. With the sparse information on vaccines that was available at the time, my parents did their research and elected to raise me without medical intervention. I always seemed healthier than my vaccinated peers, who were sick many times each year. I rarely became ill, and when I did get sick, I healed quickly, always without allopathic medicine. Of course, ...

A Reason For Handwriting, Kindergarten: Kindergarten Student Workbook (Reason for Handwriting)

A good, traditional handwriting program
I am using A Reason for Handwriting K with my 4 year old daughter. It is working pretty well for us. It is a traditional, "ball and stick" type of handwriting program. The workbook starts off with a short introduction to basic pencil strokes - circles, diagonal lines, etc. It then introduces the beginning writer to proper way to write the different letters of the alphabet, both upper and ...

Chemical and Biological Warefare.: A Comprehensive Survey for the Concerned Citizen.

Eric Croddy

Springer-Verlag GmbH, 2002

What a great read!
Chemical and Biological Warfare: An Annotated Bibliography is a great book to read before bed, on the subway or lounging on the beach. It is sensitively written, and though the roto-protagonist isn't very well developed as a character, the subplot and the overall romance is beautiful. If you liked The Firm, you'll love this book. (I have gotten some great pick-up lines from this book, too!)

Good Sports: The Concerned Parent's Guide to Competitive Youth Sports (Art & Science of Coaching (Paperback))

Sagamore, Rick Wolff

Sagamore Publishing, 1997

Good book, but preaching to the choir?
This is an excellent overview of the proper attitude to have in coaching kid's sports, as well as containing good tips for parents on their role. But I wonder if it needs a chapter on getting the people who need to read it to actually read this book. I think the concerned parent, the one who wants to learn, will seek out this book. It is the unconcerned parent or coach, who thinks they know ...

Concerned Communications, 2001

This book is WONDERFUL
I purchased this book for my 2nd grade son to transition him from printing to cursive. The book is laid out wonderfully - you start out by learning to write all of your letters and by linking them. Then you begin writing Bible verses - you do a little each day and by the end of the week you write the full verse on really cute paper the book provides that can be colored or decorated. My son's ...

Dennis C. Smolarski

Paulist Press, 1986

A must read for all who are involved with parish liturgies.
The author does and excellent job in an interesting manner on "how not to say Mass". It give the bad practices that are so often seen in parish liturgies. He gives a no nonsense approach to the liturgy and gives the reasons from Rubrics and the instructions of the Sacramentary on why things are done. He is not a liturgist by training but has done more than most liturgists in explaing the ...

Tender Care for Cat and Owner
I have used this book throughout the life of my shelter-adopted cat, Sami. It's well written and illustrated to give the owner a sense of what's going on with the pet, its behaviors, illnesses, etc. For a layperson, the book is an excellent handbook. I'd recommend that anyone contemplating adopting/buying a cat or kitten read this book before they take the step.

I love this book!
I've been a homeschooling mom for over 6 years now. After using Concerned Communication's A Reason For Writing since the beginning, we stumble on A Reason For Spelling this year. I was tired of "boring" spelling curriculumns, so figured we'd spend the extra $$$ and give this a try. Well, we ALL love it (we're using levels A, C and E for our 1st, 3rd and 5th graders). There is a lot of ...

A Reason for Spelling: Homeschool Pack Level a

Concerned Communications, 2001

Super Homeschool Spelling Book
I am so very pleased with the "Reason for Spelling" level A book! I tried countless others as a homeschooling mother of 3, and have found this book to be just what my child needs for starting out. It begins with phonics, then shifts into spelling. The fun exercises hold his interest, but also teach him something of true value each lesson. Each child is different, but in my opinion, most any ...

The New Charismatics: A Concerned Voice Responds to Dangerous New Trends

2 reviews
Michael G. Moriarty

Zondervan, 1992

A helpful resource
This book documents much of the history of the charismatic/pentecostal movement. It gives numerous quotations from direct sources, and ample footnotes. The author is not a charismatic, but is not a cessationist--he does not spend time trying to explain away charismatic gifts. His concerns are mainly about "supernaturally received" teachings, and the implications of such teaching. In other ...
