About the Book
Back in print! Norman Bridwell's funny and charming story about appreciating differences.

Someone new has moved into the neighborhood--and she's a witch! Her two young neighbors delight in how she does everything a bit differently from them. She paints her house black, walks her pet dragon around the block, and uses magic to do her shopping and send soup over to people that are sick. However, some of the older townspeople people are not happy about their new neighbor. What kind of magical surprise does the witch have in store for them?


My Take on the Book
I remember this book from when I was a child and I loved it then and I still love it today. I am so happy to have this back on the shelves and with it's new look and colorful interior it will definitely be a draw for all young readers. 

What I particularly loved about this book was that it talks about acceptance of differences and being open to all people as you never know who you will meet along the path of life and what they can offer your life. 

A well written book that I highly encourage all to pick up and share with your own family!

Book Review - The Christian Parenting Handbook

All opinions expressed in this review are my own and not influenced in any way by the company.  Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider. Please refer to this site's Disclaimer  for more information. I have been compensated or given a product free of charge, but that does not impact my views or opinions.

About the Book
With advice on parenting coming from several angles, what do you listen to and what do you ignore? Develop your own biblical philosophy of parenting and use it to filter the many ideas that come your way.

In this book you’ll learn how to:

• Identify character qualities to address problems
• Build internal motivation
• Transfer responsibility for change to the child
• Teach kids to be solvers instead of whiners
• Use creativity to teach your kids spiritual truths
• Avoid the “boxing ring”
• Envision a positive future
• And much more!

With these strategies you’ll be able to move from behavior modification to a heart-based approach to parenting. Instead of relying on rewards, incentives, threats, and punishment, you’ll learn how to identify heart lessons to teach your child and implement them in practical ways.

The Christian Parenting Handbook by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, founders of the National Center for Biblical Parenting, compiles fifty parenting principles that use heart-based strategies to teach you how to face daily challenges. When parents focus on the heart, kids learn to ask different questions about life. Instead of asking, “What’s in it for me?” they learn to ask, “What’s the right thing to do?” You’ll soon see how a heart-based approach to parenting looks deeper and brings about greater, lasting change.


My Take on the Book
This is a book that is filled with so many ideas it will make your head spin. This book bases its' idea on biblical tenets and allows you as a family to learn and grow as you read and develop easy to implement strategies that can be started at home immediately. 

What I loved about the book is that the authors did not hold back with their thoughts, instead being blunt and laying it all out for everyone to see. They also are not making parenting sound like a cake walk and relate that in fact parenting is hard and takes a lot of time and effort.

Too often I hear from parents (and see it in myself) that we are continually having in a mode of correction with our kids instead of focusing on the building of relationships with the child itself. This book makes you rethink this and allows you to strengthen this bond and start anew on the path toward positive parenting.

This is a great book that I encourage all parents to read and digest, you will find so much in this book that will open your eyes!

Book Review - When Glory Got Her Glow Back

All opinions expressed in this review are my own and not influenced in any way by the company.  Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider. Please refer to this site's Disclaimer  for more information. I have been compensated or given a product free of charge, but that does not impact my views or opinions.

About the Book
When Glory Got Her Glow Back describes the magic that occurs when children from ages five to ninety-five work with the power of color beyond what the eye can see. This pearls-of-wisdom story tells the tale of a glowworm who loses her inner GPS and sets out on a journey to find her inner and outer glow. Along the way, she meets seven delightful creatures that teach her about the human chakra system and the healing power of color.

My Take on the Book
This was a great book that was so inspirational for people of all ages. Even though it is geared toward kids, this definitely has a message that can transcend. The book allows children to understand that even though there will be challenges in life, but that they can overcome them and persevere. What was the best about this book was that the book really talks about what was on the inside of Glory and how her glow was not on the outside but inside, and once she learned this, she was able to get her glow back per se.

About the Book
Daily, modern media documents the educational crisis society is facing. Every day over 7,000 school-age teenagers decides to become high-school dropouts. Shockingly, in America, where public education is free over 1,300,000 struggling students annually fail to complete their high school education. Education is rapidly deteriorating. Therefore, questions are asked in the media. Blame is placed on teachers, students, parents, community and economics, but solutions are few. Don't Count Me Out, contains two books within one book. Book 1 details informational secrets and strategies to help children or teenager reach their highest scholastic potential. Book 2 takes the reader from Pre-K to 12th and early college years detailing in-depth scholastic solutions to make academic success possible for those who struggle in one or all subjects areas. Within the pages are years of proven educational secrets and solutions that have transformed children and teenagers into academic winners and achievers.

Don’t Count Me Out! reveals:

• Proven learning strategies for students with ADD, ADHD, and other learning difficulties
• How we can restore “academic self-esteem” to our children
• The important roles that parents and teachers play in shaping a student’s success
• Tips for making learning fun, engaging, and effective
• And much more!

My Take on the Book
This book was a book that truly provided valuable insights into how to best help my children be the best that they can be throughout their entire education. The author provides straight, honest, to-the-point ideas that will help you both advocate and assist students in their journey toward educational success. You will be provided with many great ideas that will open your eyes to new ways of assisting your children at home and within the classroom, and I already have some great new ideas to use with my own kids. I recommend this to any parent who has a child that struggles with learning, but also any parent who simply wants to find new ways in supporting their children in new ways - a great read!
