The tale of Sierra Cloud: A True Story about a Horse with Courage is about a one-year old filly (a young female horse) who is sexually assaulted by a stallion that gets loose one night. When Sierra Cloud returns home, she experiences many of the feelings that human child victims of sexual abuse experience. Told from Sierra Cloud's point of view, the story allows children to identify with the horse and project their feelings onto the animal. When Sierra Cloud is finally able to tell someone she trusts about the assault, her healing and recovery begin. Children learn that speaking out is a way to stop the abuse, and the story emphasizes the courage it takes for any victim to tell about abuse. This book has been read and edited by Master's and Ph.D. level mental health clinicians as well as by lay persons who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse. While designed for children ages 5-12 for use in therapeutic settings, Sierra Cloud may provide insight and healing to all ages. A writing and drawing journal to accompany the book is available through the store at www.eagala.org.

Joel and Sharon are the parents of three young boys Levi, Noa and Micah. The idea for the book, “The Chat,” came after an awkward conversation with his eldest son who was only seven years old at the time. Joel searched for a Christian resource to help answer his son’s questions about sex but came up short, so he decided to write his own. After purchasing every parent manual he could possibly get his hands on for research, he put together the book to help father’s walk this journey with their sons.“I believe that every parent must be the first voice their child hears on this very important topic. As parents, it is our priority to lay a Christian foundation for our children to build on.”The Chat is an unapologetic Bible based, children’s book written specifically for 7-10 year old boys to read with their fathers. The whole experience is interactive and will help strengthen the bonds between parent and child. It also opens the door to future conversations. It is a children’s book that has been written to help fathers have the all important ‘sex chat’ with their sons. It is a brilliant Christian resource that acts as a conversation starter. The book is split into two sections; the first portion helping fathers to prepare themselves for the conversation, while section 2 (dedicated for both fathers and sons) is brilliantly illustrated to engage young boys. The Chat discusses the pertinent issues of sex, puberty, pornography and gender.
