Insects are found all over the world and are the most numerous animals on Earth. Some homes are simple, such as a tunnel chewed out of wood by a carpenter bee. Other homes, however, can be incredibly complex. The mud and dirt mounds made by certain ants and termites, for example, are intricate cities that have their own breeding areas, nurseries, food-growing sections -- even their own air-conditioning systems!

Meet the silkmakers, some of the most remarkable, yet often overlooked, animal architects in the natural world. Find out how a trapdoor spider builds an amazing hideout, with a hidden door that springs open when prey is near! See how an ogre-faced spider hangs upside down as it builds a sticky silken box as a trap. And find out how a diving spider constructs a two-room silk house underwater and lives there, inside a bubble of air!

“The Game of Life” is a fun yet enlightening action filled VBS or Youth oriented book filled with great analogies of man’s three parts, which are body, soul, and spirit. The basketball has three parts outer covering, inner liner, and the air which is a great comparison. There is God’s team and the Devil’s team. Both want to WIN! We have a star player Jesus Christ, God the Father is the Coach, The Holy Spirit is the water, air, and ball boy, and God’s word is the referee “He’s the enforcer of the rules just like in an earthly game.” We also have cheerleaders. The opposing team has the Devil as the coach, Death as their star player, along with Time marking each second and minute. The book has 5 scenes that are easy to learn and put together for a great VBS or Youth Program. Each scene is progressive starting with Christ’s sacrifice, then our sanctification, salvation, stewardship, and last but not least our service to Him. I have also included a few memories about my mission trip to the Philippines last spring, where we had over one hundred youth and adults professed Christ as their personal savior. In addition, I have included a biography of Dr. James Naismith a wonderful Christian coach and the founder of the game of basketball. My burden for the youth was given to me many years ago and I am convinced this book along with God’s word, His Spirit, and your burdened heart can bring many to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. God bless you and God’s Speed, time is of the essence!

The world of mammals is wonderfully rich and varied. It includes thousands of species -- everything from orangutans to muskrats to squirrels. Some animals, such as chimpanzees, build their homes in just a few minutes. Others, such as beavers, will take many days to make sure their lodge or dam is both sturdy and safe. Mammals are highly intelligent, and each time one of these animals builds a new home, it may be built a little differently, a little faster, a little stronger, a little better.
