Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Book Description
Humorous Wit is a new compilation of quotations in their most humoristic form. There are over 15,000 of these taken from various parts of the world, with over 1,200 of them translated into English for the first time. This book features 5,000 authors from every corner of the globe, covering a period starting before classical antiquity, when man first started to record his thoughts, to modern times, enriching the cultural heritage. This does not in any way mean that the caveman was less humorous, but the richness of the environment we live in today and the variety of subject matter contribute considerably to a refined sense of humour. Moreover, considering that chimps and other primates also possess the ability to laugh, humour may have been around longer than the human race : )

Book Description
What is there to learn from the life of a dog? When their golden retriever, Charlie, was diagnosed with terminal cancer shortly before his tenth birthday, John and Nan Lichty knew that it was a matter of months before they would lose their beloved companion. Raising Charlie: The Lessons of a Perfect Dog tells the heartbreaking story of their experience. It begins with Charlie coming into their lives as a gift puppy from Nan to John for his fortieth birthday and then flashes forward to the final three months of Charlie's life and the tragedy of his losing battle with osteosarcoma. Charlie's story is filled with insights about dogs, life and love. A chapter is devoted to the lessons Charlie taught John and Nan through the example of his life, with anecdotes supporting each point, and a photo section contains more than a dozen black-and-white images that chronicle Charlie's life. The influence of a good dog in a person's life can never be underestimated. To lose that companionship prematurely is cause for tremendous sadness. If you have ever owned a dog or dreamed of owning one, Raising Charlie will touch you emotionally. Charlie's spirit lives on in its pages.

Book Description
Before preaching the sermon on the Mount, Jesus summoned his disciples to the top of the Mount and shared the Beatitudes with them. After presenting each Beatitude, Jesus declared that they would make his followers the salt and light of this world. In The Beatitudes Bible Study, author Marlin J. Harris offers a leader’s guide to a study of the Beatitudes, lessons that will help flavor the world with his love and goodness and perpetually shine his holy light on others. The guide includes a host of resources to help a leader impart the wisdom of the Beatitudes. It includes access to PowerPoint presentations created specifically for each section, scriptural references, songs and music videos selections, group activities, discussion questions, and more. An accompaniment for Let the Beatitudes BE My Attitude in You, this guide presents a dynamic and uniquely structured group experience for believers desiring to find new spiritual heights with the Lord. It leads Christians toward the intense discovery and the personal adornment of these unexplored spiritual jewels to comprehend more completely heaven’s way of life on earth. Praise for The Beatitudes Bible Study “The author says that the ‘Beatitudes are character-building callings from the Master himself to take up a sacred quest to become the person God created you to be.’ I couldn’t agree more. Allow Marlin to guide you through this rediscovery of a special gift in scripture, the Beatitudes.” —Wanda S. Lee, National Executive Director of the Women’s Missionary Union, Southern Baptist Convention

Embark on an epic odyssey with Chase Forrester, an 18 year old boy forced to quickly become a man in a harsh and unforgiving world. Set in a time that could very well be today, in a world rocked by thermonuclear war. Chase's father Jack is a highly trained sniper in the US military, and all he had ever wanted was to be just like him.
