Ruth Gilmore has been giving children's sermons to an enthusiastic following since she was eight years old. After many requests from pastors and other fans, she began to collect her sermons organized according to the Revised Common Lectionary. This book (for year C) is the first in that collection—and the first in a series that will follow years A, B, and C in the RCL's cycle. Each book offers a full lectionary year's worth of sermons, 59 sermons in all. An inspiring foreword by the award-winning writer and storyteller Walter Wangerin Jr. poetically presents the book. The author’s introduction provides helpful suggestions for preparing and delivering sermons. A table of contents and index are included to help find the right sermon for a particular Sunday or theme, making this book useful for churches not following the RCL cycle of Bible readings. An accompanying CD-ROM lets readers personalize each sermon for the own usage, and contains the entire text of the book in web (HTML), word processor (RTF) and Adobe Acrobat PDF formats, allowing users to easily search the contents and copy and paste selections to create their own customized sermons.

Eugenio Montale received many honours, including the Nobel Prize in 1975. His lyrical, mysterious poems abound in natural images - Liguria's sea-coast, golden sunflowers, scolding blackbirds and sun-scorched landscapes. Full of mythological and literary resonance, they poignantly explore the connection between the individual, nature and the divine. This volume draws on Montale's four major collections: "Cuttlefish Bones", "The Occasion", "The Storm and Other Things" and "Satura", as well as later work. It brings together translations, adaptations and homages by, among others, Samuel Beckett, Anthony Burgess, Geoffrey Hill, Robert Lowell, Jamie McKendrick, Edwin Morgan and Jeremy Reed.

Allowing parents to choose the tools that fit best with their child's temperament and their family values, this eclectic approach to child guidance and discipline explains how scolding and spanking may increase behaviors that parents want to decrease, offers ways to substitute acceptable behavior for objectionable behavior, shows how to set guidelines for effective consequences, and gives more than 150 ideas for overcoming 10 common behavior problems. Rife with helpful examples, exercises, and summary sheets, this manual is a resource that parents will be able to refer to time and again.

Do you know what a Solanum caule inermi herbaceo, foliis pinnatis incises, racemis simplicibus is?*   Carolus (Karl) Linnaeus started off as a curious child who loved exploring the garden. Despite his intelligence—and his mother's scoldings—he was a poor student, preferring to be outdoors with his beloved plants and bugs. As he grew up, Karl's love of nature led him to take on a seemingly impossible task: to give a scientific name to every living thing on earth. The result was the Linnaean system—the basis for the classification system used by biologists around the world today. Backyard sciences are brought to life in beautiful color. Back matter includes more information about Linnaeus and scientific classification, a classification chart, a time line, source notes, resources for young readers, and a bibliography.*it's a tomato!A handsome introductory book on Linnaeus and his work — Booklist, starred reviewA good introduction to a man in a class by himself — Kirkus ReviewsLends significant humanity to the naturalist — Publisher's WeeklyThe biographical approach to a knotty scientific subject makes this a valuable addition to STEM and biography collections — School Library Journal

Yes, and avid gardeners will find themselves nodding along and laughing out loud as they turn the pages, recognizing their own quirks reflected back to them in Michel's words. Whether it's the chapter about the four phases of houseplant care or the gardener's unique interpretations of time, measurements, and quantities, one can't help but point and say, "That's me!" and then read a snippet or paragraph aloud to one's friend or significant other. Through 36 light-hearted essays, readers are treated to a glimpse behind the gate at May Dreams Gardens and the philosophies and musings of its caretaker. There's take-home wisdom for gardeners new and experienced between the pages. Reviewer Dee Nash says, "As you read, I know you’ll chuckle and be charmed, but you also might just learn a thing or two. A how-to book that teaches the love of gardening. What could be better?"

During one day a little boy hears such sounds as a jay bird scolding, oak leaves swaying, and a mother humming.

Meet the saw-whet, the tiniest of Minnesota’s owls, a mere eight inches from the tip of its blunt tail to the top of its rounded head. The simplest way to find one is to listen for the scolding calls of a flock of agitated chickadees. Or, if you’re lucky, you might witness the male throwing all caution to the wind and “co-co-co-co-ing” for a mate, inching forward on every note like the bird in a cuckoo clock. From this fetching little creature to the magnificent great gray, the owls of Minnesota have found the perfect spokeswoman in this book, which is as charming as it is informative. Written with wit and a remarkable command of bird lore by Laura Erickson, well known to public radio listeners and birdwatchers everywhere, Twelve Owls also features enchanting pictures, from the long view to up-close detail, by award-winning artist Betsy Bowen.“Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you?” the barred owl asks, breaking into a duet that sounds like maniacal laughter when he gets lucky. The great gray, the biggest of the state’s—and perhaps the world’s—owls, hurls herself into the snow and fetches up a meadow vole, leaving behind a beautiful snow angel. The telling detail, the natural drama, the identifying features, and the environmental story all unfold in Erickson’s engaging account of what to look for, where to look, and what these much-mythologized but very real denizens of the bird kingdom might be doing in the state of Minnesota.
