The recipe also contains famous quotes, and fun anecdotes. The topical devotions, reinforce the similarities every sister faces, in her Christian walk, and highlights the power of God "to see you through".

The habitats at Grandfather Mountain will always be named for Mildred the Bear, the nicest bear that has ever been. When Grandfather agreed to obtain two bears to be released into the wild to help build the bear population in the mountains, by mistake, the Atlanta Zoo sold Grandfather a young bear that the office staff at the zoo had raised on a bottle. Consequently, when that young bear was released, she did not revert to the wild. She did not know that she was a bear. She had none of the hostility sometimes associated with bears; she just wanted to hang out with the people. She was given the name Mildred. -- Hugh Morton

Some might say he’s courageous, while others would say he’s daring, maybe even a little crazy.

Joe’s effort to save them results in perilous, sometimes humorous, encounters, and leads him on a journey through the threatening wilderness where he faces his greatest challenge yet.

This is a true story about my daughter, Megan, and passing on what was taught to her regarding Gods Holy Name. I feel it will inspire children to evangelize others when they hear Jesus name used improperly and carelessly. Another joyous benefit of this story becoming a published book is that parents will be able to read and explain it to their children helping them to develop a more tangible and deeper understanding of the Second Commandment of God.
