One day we noticed that our boys were growing up on us! There was (and is) still lots more to teach them about becoming godly men! We realized that we needed goals to aim for and a plan to help us reach those goals. Plants Grown Up is the result. This 500-page, spiral-bound book offers hundreds of ideas for Bible study projects, reading material, and practical, everyday activities to help train your sons for godly manhood. One copy of this book can be used with all your sons from the time they can memorize simple Bible verses until the day they each get married. (And then they can save it to use with your grandsons!) Each chapter offers a variety of reading, writing, Bible study, and active projects for you to choose from for each of your unique sons. Projects in each chapter are listed in order according to increased difficulty. Start work in each area with young boys, and continue to disciple your sons with increasingly more difficult assignments. Each project is labeled with the school subject it relates to, enabling homeschoolers to easily incorporate projects into their regular school plans. Evaluation questions at the end of each chapter help parents and sons pinpoint weaknesses, discuss areas of improvement, and pray specifically for spiritual growth. Many reproducible charts and forms encourage serious Bible study and self-examination. Fully quoted memory verses (King James Version) make consistent memorization and review easier. Sources are listed for all recommended resources. Reproducible planning sheets, calendar pages, record sheets help you organize to reach your goals. PLANTS GROWN UP can help you raise your boys for God's glory! It is also a great resource for boys' club ministries, grandparents who want to be more involved with their grandchildren, and counselors seeking practical learning projects for boys. Over 500 pages.

This Edwardian social comedy explores love and prim propriety among an eccentric cast of characters assembled in an Italian pensione and in a corner of Surrey, England.A charming young Englishwoman, Lucy Honeychurch, faints into the arms of a fellow Britisher when she witnesses a murder in a Florentine piazza. Attracted to this man, George Emerson—who is entirely unsuitable and whose father just may be a Socialist—Lucy is soon at war with the snobbery of her class and her own conflicting desires. Back in England, she is courted by a more acceptable, if stifling, suitor and soon realizes she must make a startling decision that will decide the course of her future: she is forced to choose between convention and passion.

Not a workbook, but a Work-With book to help a child learn an essential reading skill: Letter Sounds. The child who knows the letters of the alphabet is ready to learn the sound of each letter. This book is filled with colorful animals, toys, food, things you wear, things you use, things that grow and other things that are familiar to preschoolers. There are questions that will focus attention on the letter sound being learned and answers to the questions at the bottom of the page (to make the parent look good). The lessons are visual and verbal. No writing is involved, but the involvement of a parent, grandparent or older sibling is essential. That's why it's called a Work-With book, not a workbook. For the child who is learning English as a second language, the picture pages can add immeasurably to his or her vocabulary. PERFECT for homeschoolers! Love it! It's clear, concise, and leaves room for discussion while keeping it fun. Even the struggling student will realize more success than a feeling of failure because the easy question and the picture clues often encourage more than just one correct answer." --Barbara Stopp Vance, Children's Librarian for 25 years in Round Rock, Texas
