Hide and Seek is a children's devotional book (aged 4-9) that really gets them into the Bible and teaches them how to apply it to their lives. Each week-long chapter focuses on a different fruit of the Spirit and contains one story about a desert critter and one Bible story. Every other day kids have fun doing puzzles that help them remember what they've learned. The last day gives kids an activity to do (like making cookies to take to a friend) to apply what they've been learning that week. My seven-year-old daughter who sometimes digs in her heels when it comes to spiritual learning at home loves this book and can't wait until devotion time! It is an imaginative book that involves children in fun learning of Bible truths. You can't beat it!

My 2 year old son loves Hot Rod Harry and he can recite it out of memory because I have read it to him so often. He has started recognising the words in the book if I write them on a piece of paper. It is fantastic!

Prof. Sharp's book is a revealing look into social and political aspects of rural life in the vast forsts of Tudor-Stuart England. Caught between the ambitions of the crown and landlords for the exploitation of the land, and the necessities of their hard, marginal existences, poor woodworkers, clothworkers, and other rural artisans resort to rioting and civil disobedience in order to assert their traditional way of living. Prof. Sharp, in a remarkable piece of social history, tracks down and documents the lives of these people and their conception of the 'moral economy.' In the latter half of the book, Prof. Sharp paints a painstaking portrait of the aspects of demography and politics that most affected the forest-dwellers, using the artisans of the Dean Forest as his primary examples. This is one of the most revealing studies of rural peasant life and conditions that can be found for the period, and a true joy to read, due to Prof. Sharp's fine, strong, and pleasant prose. One cannot but be impressed by this fascinating work of scholarship.

Allen Sharp's books are pure genius. And "Invitation to Murder" is no exception. Along with "The Stone of Badda", it sticks in my mind as one of the great books of my childhood. Highly recommended!

If you want to impress girls with expert knowledge! This is book for you!!

Janet Sharp Hermann has done a magnificent job of portraying this giant of a man. It is a spellbound account of a time and a place now almost forgotten. Her scholarship and research talents are made plain by the way she brings out the nature of Joseph E. Davis and his relationship with his family and especially his servants. His forbearance and high-spirited way of coping with the adversity he faced over the destruction of his property during the Civil War and the after-years were inspiring.

I teach typing at a middle school and we recently started using this program. My students and I found it to be a great change from the standard drills we were using. They loved the way the programs made them practice the keys that gave them the most trouble and the fact that, in the individualized practices, the program would push them to try typing a little faster in the repetitions. I liked it so much, I bought a copy for my machine at home. My whole family is working with it to increase their typing skills. I highly recommend this program.

Some of Jo Sharp's sweater designs are a bit outlandish for me, since I'm more conservative in dress, although I expect a good number of them, since they are colorful, unusual and eye-catching, can be quite popular. I was happy, though, to find this collection, which has something for everybody and certainly lots for me. Jo Sharp yarn is extraordinary -- quite unusual for our market, these are strong, substantial yarns that knit into luxurious garments on anywhere from the recommended size 6 needle to a size 8 or 9. They are expensive, comparatively, at $6.50 for a ball of 107 yards, but you get great coverage, and the end result is a sweater that is both durable, comfortable, easy to maintain, and versatile, not to mention warm. A whole sweater can cost about $100, which is not bad for the quality that you get. Knitting Bazaar has great designs for single colored sweaters, two colors, or the more complex trademark styles of multi-hued intarsias. Very inventive designs for the new colors added to her palette, and some wonderfully conservative styles that I can wear to work. The best of the collection, though, is Precious Jewel -- a brightly colored intarsia of op-art flowers and scrollwork. The cover style, Boheme, is also very attractive, as is the colorful Paragon. Sharp also gives us a cape, some pullovers (some in stranding or fair isle), cardigans and an attractively cabled jacket, casual wear and formal wear sweaters, cables and intarsias. Some designs are highly appropriate for new knitters, others are simple examples of intarsia or stranding for those just learning the techniques. Precious Jewel looks to be the most complex. In all, this collection is highly inventive, not so much a departure in Sharp's styles but a ripening -- and I think she's gone further into styling that is appropriate for the American market. Certainly she's one of the best designers out there, second in inventiveness only to Kaffe Fassett, who seems to be depleted as far as sweater designs, and comparable to Alice Starmore. Jo Sharp has 3 or 4 previous books, most quite good. Knitting Bazaar is a great collection, a pleasure to browse through, and well-worth adding to your knitting library.

I couldn't put this book down right from the introduction.
Priscilla Stone Sharp has created a wonderful narrative woven around the factual documents she gathered during 15 years of family history research.
The story centers around 2 people, Langhorn Wellings, a black man, an orphan, born in the early 1800's and living in bucolic Bucks County Pennsylvania, befriended by the Quakers who helped him in many ways throughout his life, and his wife, Mary Stone, daughter of German-Americans Jacob & Mary Stone, one of 17 children.
Ms. Stone Sharp writes about her ancestors trials and triumphs in a most heartfelt and loving way, without getting overly emotional or making saints out of them. She honors their memory by creating a story of their life that is written with realism and warmth.
Langhorn and Mary's relationship not only had to bear up under the burden of nineteenth century extreme racism and its accompanying heartaches, but when Mary died of natural causes, Lang was accused of her murder, sent to jail and put on trial.
'Langhorn and Mary; A 19th Century American Love Story', in the end is a shining example of what doing family history research should be--bringing your ancestors lives into the light, becoming acquainted with them, and growing to love them.
