I take very little exception to the plethora of advice columns, TV advice psychologists, and theoretical books on this topic. What I do take exception to are those who quote and promote the latest polls, studies, and psychological findings as the bible on child-rearing. For too many years, parents have followed some of these self-proclaimed gurus and, as a result, have robbed our children of the qualities of taking responsibility and the honor of honesty and hard work.

Now what? Now that you are a Christian, it becomes a most important question: What kind of a Christian are you going to be? Are you going to be one modeled after people’s opinions, or will you follow after the Bible standard? Will you be a Christian, as defined by scripture? This helpful audiobook provides practical, biblical guidance and encouragement for new Christians.

I have been hunting vampires since I was fashioned by the clockwork specialist, Beatrice Hansworthy. It is the only purpose of my existence.

I will remain strong. I should tell my parents, but we have this rule - we never hunt together, because there are too few of us left to risk it. What will happen if they decide to work together?

Bignorance: Bigotry born of ignorance and pride. Three people attack the same issue with three different approaches. There may be three different conclusions and results; or the outcome may be the same in all three cases. Who used the correct process? Was one of these three people more correct than the other two? The big question however, may be: Why did they react in different ways? or, Why did they not all react exactly alike? Better yet, you may ask, “What difference does it make"?

The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine.

Never eat the berries. This is something Sprout was taught from a very young age, because no one wants to experience faerie wrath. However, a witch who wasn’t brought up in the forest might be tempted, especially in the abundance of the now constant summer in The Forest of the Hooting Owl. How can a witch who has broken faerie law be kept safe, a witch who shouldn’t even be in the forest? A possible solution comes from a totally unexpected place, which involves a good deal of trust.

Goblins aren't supposed to engage in the practice of walking dogs. Neither are they meant to attempt to save witches. And they most certainly aren't in the business of facing up to big, bad trolls. Sprout has never been one to do what he's expected to do. That tends to get him into trouble. This time is no different. Has Sprout taken on more than he can cope with? Has he chewed on one too many magic herbs? The answers are within, for those who dare to take the journey alongside a young, adventurous goblin, in order to find out the truth.

When an unexpected face appears at the door to Sprout’s cave in Coven’s Corner, he knows that secrets are at risk of coming out. The question is, who is going to have to tell the truth, because Wizards aren’t easy to hide. Sprout has his work cut out trying to keep things running smoothly, what with hooting owls butting in on conversations, a sprite determined to catch up with a promise-bearer and a riddle frog on a mission to fulfill his destiny. Wandering around the forest turns out to be much more challenging than he could ever have imagined.

When Sprout witnesses a Biglander stealing his ma’s ring, at a time when he should’ve been looking after it, he knows he has to get it back. Aided by his uncle Long Tooth, he makes a plan.
