This hardbound edition of the popular paperback with the same title is designed for libraries, schools, and other organizations that lend books. It does not contain the interactive games in the back of the paperback. Its target audience is ages 7-12, but older students and adults have praised it as well. The feedback from teachers who have tested this book in their classrooms has been phenomenal. Some students formed their own contests, completing the workbook games and sharing the bizarre facts they learned about animals. OUT ON A LIMERICK will suck you in before you hit page 1. Check out the "Rules for Reading Limericks" with safety measures to avoid limerick reading related injuries. It is a completely unique book of "Laughable Limericks and Fun Facts About Animals".
Writing this book reignited in me a childlike thrill of discovery. What started out as a book of silly limericks led me into the weird world of the creatures about which I was writing. Consequently I decided to follow each limerick with a section called "What's the Scoop?" In it you'll find some unusual facts that many books don't cover about that animal. The last part of the book contains several activities called "What Did You Scoop Up?" It has exercises to help kids remember what they read. If you laugh half as much while reading this book as I did while writing it, you better buckle up.
The Schizophrenic Gospel?: A Journey to Coherency Through Time, Hell, and Eternity begins with a discussion on the ethical dilemma of unending torment. If salvation is by grace and God loves all and is able to save all, why wouldn't He? That discourse is followed by an analysis of the Biblical teachings on hell, eternity, heaven, atonement, and reconciliation. As a devout student of Scripture I began this study over 20 years ago, trying to resolve a maze of contradictory theological paradigms. God's Word is certainly not schizophrenic, but some teachings make it seem so. This research unveiled the beautifully coherent message of the "restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began" (Acts 3:21). Passages of Scripture that used to sound mystifying finally became cohesive. This book meticulously exegetes some of those key passages. The message throughout Scripture is that God's love knows no limits and is not constrained by time or death.

This exciting new anthology even contains bilingual pieces, allowing for authors to truly show their ethnic background and identity.
