The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery: Connecting Neuroscience and Faith to Radically Transform Your Life:

"This is a book about witches. But when I finally put this book down last night, I mostly just thought about my father.
I don’t think it is controversial to say that duty is a bit of an old fashioned word these days. Like honor. It’s one of those words" Read more of this review » |

A Time for Everything: A Paraphrase of Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 for Children:
"'A Time for Everything' is a delightful introduction to Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 for young children.
The text is written in gentle rhyme and accompanied by Jonny Lambert's fun, bright illustrations. I liked the opening 'Dear Reader...' note which explains " Read more of this review » |

Dear Paula,I'm not certain if my message got to you yesterday, so here I go again. Sally from Wombat Books has asked me to write my press release for Green Heart of the Forest and because you wrote my appraisal in the Caleb Ms competition, I was wondering if i could use some of your quotes please. Thanks and God bless.
