The single greatest lesson parents teach their kids isn't anything they say--it's what they do. And while most parents would say they want to raise compassionate kids, they might be surprised to discover just how little they're actually modeling the behaviors they hope to pass on--qualities such as unconditional love, gentleness, forgiveness, patience, gratitude, humility, and more. In this unique book, Sami Cone shows parents a new way to look at molding their children, one in which focusing on adding good behaviors and attitudes is more powerful than eliminating bad ones. Grounding her advice in Scripture--specifically the twelve characteristics found in Colossians 3:12-17--Cone offers plenty of stories from her own life to show these principles in action. And she offers practical things parents can do right now to create a home and family that exhibits love, harmony, and generosity of spirit in a self-centered world.

In a TEOTWAWKI, grid-down or terrorist attack scenario, we may be faced with a resurgence of potentially deadly plagues and diseases. With fewer resources and limited access to medical equipment, facilities and knowledge, we may very well be thrust into the roll of caretaker and medical practitioner for our families, friends and neighbors. In order to successfully manage and treat currently uncommon illnesses and diseases, we have compiled a list of potential medical threats, along with signs, symptoms, treatments and methods of containment. Armed with this reference material, you will have the ability to diagnose and treat a number of illnesses that have nearly been eradicated in modern America, but are very likely to make a comeback in the shadow of a catastrophic event. This book is not intended to replace your family doctor or other health professional. We merely compiled facts and put them together in a format we found convenient and easily readable. We did our best to eliminate non-essential medical terminology and present nothing but the absolute bare essential information needed to identify, treat and contain disease. "A Prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it." Proverbs 22:3
