From the first page of the story:
"Annie is small, and the night is big. Very big. And sometimes scary. Tonight the night looks like it's watching her, like white eyes peeking through the dark. And there are noises-like the kind coming at her now from the other side of the thin, knotty-pine walls of her bedroom. Scrape. Scritch. Scrape. As though something with claws is trying to get in."

This is a beautifully written and illustrated book about a child facing her fear of the dark and finding those things that are making the noises that frighten her. Written from a Christian perspective.

"I can lie down and go to sleep. And I will wake up again because the Lord protects me." Psalm 3:5

This is an excellent book!
It has really reminded me of the many reasons we have as Christians to be happy, joyful, and full of trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Innovative TV Schools and a new morality change our national image.
A novel by Maria Aschwanden

This is a delightful novel that shows the changes that can take place in a family and a nation when we think independently and go for what we believe in. Mrs. Aschwanden is knowledgable in natural foods nutrition, healthy living, and homeschooling. She weaves teaching of these things into her novel in a natural way.

Mrs. Aschwanden moved to the U.S. in 1954 with her husband and 6 month old son. She has 9 other children. She and her husband live a healthy life in Carthage, Missouri.

It's a book I just kept picking up again and again.

Excerpted from a letter to Mr. Myers:

I want to thank you. I've enjoyed mystery stories over the years; but, a few years ago I stopped reading them because of gruesome details, bad language, and intimate details that should have been left out. Your books were recommended to me as "cozy" mysteries. I couldn't be more delighted.

There is a depth in your characters that draws me into the story. I love that Mr. Black is a bit fumbling and bumbling, much like most of us would be in similar situations. I also like the fact that you drop clues throughout the book that lead to the killer. It is so satisfying to try to figure out "who done it"; and then, in the end find that I was right (or wrong). ~smile~

Thank you for writing stories that don't require me to put my Christian life on hold, so to speak, in order to enjoy a good book.

We had the audio tapes and loved it.
There's nothing better than a good story on tape when you're riding in the car, especially long distances.
You WILL enjoy this selection.

This is a great book to give you an overview of how to teach your child arithmetic. You can even use it to develop your own lessons.
