Dr. Seuss's hilarious Beginner Book about a boy who refuses to get out of bed! NOTHING is getting the young hero of this easy-reader out of bed—not an alarm clock, roosters, barking dogs, the police, the news media, or the United States Marines! With illustrations by beloved New Yorker cartoonist James Stevenson—and a plot that children and adults can relate to—this is a funny fantasy that the whole family can enjoy together! Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning. "A rhyming story that is full of laughs. 'The alarm can ring. The birds can peep....Today's the day I'm going to sleep,' says a lazy boy one morning, and despite a pail of icy water, television coverage, and the arrival of the Marines, he vows to stay in bed--and he does! The repetition of concepts and words will keep children turning the pages, as will the energetic drawings. A sure draw for early readers."--Booklist.

Does it seem like you won’t have enough time to teach your children what they need to know before they are grown? They will lean on the conversations they had with you during life’s most difficult moments—especially if you’re a single parent. In this book, D. Steve Walker illuminates how people fail to give children a foundation for making sense of life. He explores how to encourage them to become givers instead of beggars, how to urge them to seek God’s help when necessary, and how to navigate a world rife with divisions. He also answers questions such as: • How can we face our fears? • How can we develop strong relationships? • What does white privilege mean? • How should we view Black Lives Matter? The author also examines what it means to live an abundant life with disappointments, the importance of rest, and how to avoid self-destruction

Ever wake up in the morning and just see black? Do you look in the mirror and question the image that is being reflected back to you? Have you gone throughout your day and felt like it was all meaningless, wondering what your purpose is? If you've answered yes, allow me to be the first to welcome you to your pivotal place and the moment of your transformation. Get Up! is built from the story in Mark 5 of Jairus' daughter who became ill, died from her sickness, was resurrected by Jesus, and restored to life. Sometimes life can get the best of us, and we can go through tough times that can steal the promise of better days. These things slow us down, weigh us down, and sometimes lay us down to the point where we don't know if or how we'll get up again. Here's a devotional you can use as a journal to walk through these difficult places and come out on top in your prayer life, in your relationship with Christ, on your job, in business, in ministry, and in other relationships. Life happens to us all, but your response to it is all that matters. Let's take this journey together. Will you lay down or Get Up?
