'Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.' New England Primer, 1737. According to the pollsters, a belief in Heaven is actually on the increase. Although the thought of Heaven may be popular, probably less thought is given as to how to get there than your annual holiday. It is only when events rudely awaken us that we are pressed into asking some of the serious questions about the place where most people expect to go. Sometimes the prompt is our children with a plaintive "Where is Grandma now?" Mostly, though, thoughts of heaven, and more particularly the death that precedes going there, are pushed out by the hedonistic lifestyle that most of us live. If the purpose of life is simply to enjoy it: then an absence of life (i.e. death) is a recipe for no fun at all! But still we believe in Heaven.In this contemporary classic Scott and Sinclair discuss why no one really dies of 'natural causes', give true/false answers to the reasons people think will get them to heaven, explain what the Bible has to say about the future, what Heaven is like and how to be ready for death.Facing death enables us to face life - knowing more about your future makes an enormous difference to the present. It's time you looked your future square in the face and thought 'What does it hold for me?'

Hey there - my name is Christian Kelly. I'm 19 years old, and if you haven’t figured it out by now, I have a thing for cooking. I love food. Food makes me happy, it’s my passion. I enjoy being funny and making people laugh. It's a part of my personality I really like. I just love seeing people happy. And cooking does just that for me. It allows me to make people happy by making something that appeals to their taste buds, therefore putting a smile on their face. I enjoy helping people. I get satisfaction knowing that somewhere out there, in this world of over 7 billion people, someone was able to benefit from what I love doing.Ever since I was about 5 years old, I've had an interest in food, other than eating it. I guess it was due to the fact that I've been exposed to cooking for as long as I can remember. Whenever my Grandmother or Aunts were cooking, I would always find myself in the kitchen either helping or simply watching. They were like my “Rachel Ray” of the day. One other thing I can remember to this day was, when my brother, sister, parents and I moved into our new home in Jersey, those first couple years, we ALWAYS cooked. I mean, on a nightly basis. My Dad was pretty much the chef of the house, he was the one to do most of the Sunday cooking, the fancy dinners, and there have been plenty of times when I had to ask him “where did you learn to cook” because everything he made, I was impressed with, I kid you not. But what stuck with me the most was when we used to all be in the kitchen together, as a family, all preparing dinner. My Mom and Dad were the “Head chefs”, my brother and sister like the “Prep cooks”, making salad and whatnot. And me? I was the audience. Just standing by, watching, observing. Gradually, I went from being the audience, to “Prep cook”, to “Sous Chef” to one of the “Head Chefs” (of the kitchen). Now, this book addresses a couple of topics like obesity, healthy eating habits, how to save money while in the kitchen, and exercise, even a chapter based on some of Dr. Oz’s powerful tips for leading a healthier lifestyle, and his “Power Foods.” I’ve also included the first twenty-one recipes I tried: some I created and some are original recipes I simply made my own by adding my own twist and changing things up. These are recipes I’ve been working on since my early teens. I want you to enjoy this book, and my biggest hope is that it will bless you in many ways. I thank you in advance for all of your support.

This book is an alphabet book with a phrase for each word. The content is heavily religious, with an emphasis on Catholic terms. A-W has 2 terms per letter while x,y,and z only have 1. Colorful images complement each word and phrase. For children just starting to learn the alphabet, you might start with reading the letters and words, skipping the phrases. Some of the phrases are complex, especially considering they are religious and thus tend to require more abstract thought. The phrases are only there to help initiate conversation and encourage the mentor (parent or other care-taker reading the book with the child) to expand on concepts as the child becomes more familiar with the words. Some of the words are more complex (ie. Immortal, Ordain, Trinity, Vocation, Yahweh) for both saying the word and explaining the word. The author's intent with this book was to engage children at an early age in the Catholic words, traditions, and concepts. Many Christians will find the content acceptable, but the author has intentionally repeated that marriage is between a man and a women as an example of a Catholic teaching. Catholics incorporate wine during mass, so Grapes discuss the symbolism to the blood of Christ when turned into wine. A Nun is predominately found in the Catholic Church. Nuances such as these are throughout the book, emphasizing the Catholic terms and faith.As your child grows and learns, it provides an opportunity to revisit the book again and again to review the words and phrases. This book does not teach the religious concepts per se, so some phrases are very simple (ie. King- "Jesus is the King of all." or Obey- "Children should Obey God and Obey their parents"). Some are more complex. The author's 2 year old daughter loves to look at the letters and pictures, but is not ready for the phrases. As she expands her vocabulary, she will continue to learn the words and phrases with further explanation from the reader as necessary.
