Part I: The Shepherd Boy synopsis King David is known by everyone and is revered for his reverence and complete trust in the LORD and for his Psalms. Reading his Psalms is so inspiring to us all---most likely because the Psalms are expressions of his inner-most thoughts. It is particularly enlightening to know that he was able to overcome childhood antagonism and bullying by delving deep into his own thoughts, and maintaining his faith in the Lord, and by reading the Bible. G-d was so impressed with his caring for animals that G-d chose David to be the second King of Israel. It was possible for a shepherd boy to gain the trust of G-d and his people and become a king. Part II: The Sheep Alphabet synopsis This exceptional alphabet book teaches us the names of the many, many sheep in the world and in our own country. It is most fascinating to realize that sheep come in different shapes and colors from all over the world. It is memorable to realize that sheep came in different sizes and shapes back in the days when King David was a shepherd.

Little ones learn the alphabet and have a lot of fun as they meet this shamefully silly collection of sheep--all in alphabetical order, of course, from Azog to Zany. The fun is doubled (and the learning reinforced) when little hands take lift-outs from the special back panel and put them in proper alphabetically order in the book. Full color.

Now more than ever, cursive handwriting needs to be included in our curriculum of evolution because appropriate cursive maintains neurological connections, establishes new pathways to receive higher frequencies of knowledge, and activates latent regions of the brain that transmit through the whole physiological design. In addition, each letter in the alphabet is a channel to activate for specific wisdom and knowledge within the individual and collective mind-spirit. When we resonate with each letter, we become part of its directive consciousness to be expressed in this physical reality. We attain this resonance as we mindfully write the letters, allowing their spiritual rays to activate within us the extended consciousness of the Infinite Mind that each represents. Divine attainment is coded within the alphabet. Students of all ages can progress beautifully in consciousness through cursive writing and alphabet studies. This book is composed of two parts: • The first includes articles that appeared in the Sedona Journal of Emergence! about each letter. Following each article is a guide on how to form that letter and a mantra to use as you trace it. • The second part is a workbook with exercises designed to increase your connection to your true being and the universe.

A collection of short stories.

For use in schools and libraries only. The various letters of the alphabet are illustrated by descriptions of farm animals and discussions of life on a farm.
