I Like FlowersI LIKE FLOWERS
You and your child will enjoy this whimsical, colorful, visual treat. Its simple rhyme and twists of humor will carry you along as you delight to images of vibrantly colored flowers, leaves, cactus and trees. Originally written as a gift to his grandchildren, Rick is now excited to share the experience with you and your child.

FROM RICK:
“Children are a lot like flowers. Each is a unique and fragile creation reflecting the beauty and splendor of the heavenly Father. They grow best when cared for but are easily overlooked, ignored and taken for granted. They also quickly mature and are gone. But, if raised carefully, they go to spread the color and fragrance of their lives with many others.

As you and your child share “I Like Flowers,” it’s my hope that each photo will remind you of the beautiful and special treasure God has given you in your child. And, that you will lavishly communicate that sense of awe and love to your child each time you read it.”

Spare the RodSPARE THE ROD:
Five Times You Should NOT Spank Your Child
Isn’t spanking a barbaric form of discipline from the dark ages? Doesn’t spanking teach children that violence is an appropriate way to solve problems? Is spanking even effective in changing behavior?

There is no shortage of critics when it comes to the topic of spanking children. But is it possible that spanking, within Biblical guidelines, is actually a controlled act of love that helps a child escape slavery to his own selfishness, unrestrained emotions and unbridled self-will? Is it possible that spanking is actually less cruel than the methods parents are forced to resort to when they refuse to spank their children?

“Spare the Rod” looks at five times it’s not appropriate to spank our children. But while doing so it also provides guidelines for when it is appropriate and examines the heart attitude with which parents should approach it.

If you’ve had questions about this controversial form of discipline you definitely need to spare the rod until you’ve read “Spare The Rod.”
