God gives us so many parables that have to do with gardening to help us understand Him. When He tells us to come to Him as children, I am reminded that being able to understand God's words is not hard, and even a child can know His ways. Maddy Learns from Her Garden connects children with God not only with their minds but also with their hearts. We find that to go deep with God is a heart thing, not a mind thing. Jesus said, "Let the children come to me," so it is my desire to open up a do...

Drugs, Alcohol, and Social Problems, a collection edited James D. Orcutt and David R. Rudy, includes 14 clearly written articles that exemplify the best of sociological scholarship on drug and alcohol problems. The readings strike a balance between constructionist, epidemiological, and ethnographic approaches to the study of drinking, drug use, and related problems such as domestic violence, crime, and the spread of HIV/AIDS.

“The Red Devil started laughing with his husky voice. “Hey, there, Walter, is that you asking for God’s help? I’m disappointed in you.” Then he started laughing again. “All your adult life you didn’t believe in God and you signed a bill to take prayer out of school. You were my favorite pupil.” Walter was writhing in pain as he stared at the bucket of water, too weak to respond to the chastisement of the devil. The devil saw what he was staring at. “You want that, don’t you?” Poor Walter w...

In the series of books I have written about Maddy and her love for Jesus, I had in mind how can I share my faith with my own children and grandkids. Maddy will be telling the story of a little girl who is finding out that the bible is more than just a book, and Jesus is not make-believe but real. As she discovers him every day in her life, not only in her good days but also in her very bad days, she finds him to be her real strength. I wanted to write books that would speak to our children...

The Warrior Way: Moongates Book TwoBy: Timothy R. WrightThe Warrior Way: Moongates Book Two is the first sequel in the ongoing series that began with The Pygmalion Plot. New allies join familiar heroes racing to stop a band of corrupt wizards from igniting all out war across multiple worlds while facing a deadly new threat beyond their imagination. This tale of fantasy and science fiction is a page-turning adventure with magic, monsters, and mystery unfolding at every turn.

It was my hope when writing this book to also plant seeds of faith in our children's hearts. I have nineteen grandkids, and I pray every day that they will find the Lord at a young age, as the world is trying so hard to pull them away. I wanted to write a book that would remind them that Jesus tells them to come to him. If God knows those who are his before they are born, it makes sense that the sooner our children learn about Jesus, the better. Planting the Seeds for Jesus is about a litt...
