Crockpot recipes that begin in a bag with the dry ingredients and are completed later with the liquid ingredients when ready to be prepared. This book will appeal to a great number of people of different ages and different life styles. This book plus a crockpot, is a great idea for college students as well as empty nesters and yet, it also appeals to young working mothers with very little time or bachelors with very little cooking talent. It works well for week-end campers and recreational vehicle travelers because the bags can be made in advance and the crockpot takes up very little space. The ingredients needed can be bought at the destination point because the items are not hard to find. The recipes are easy and self- explanatory and many are meals in a pot. Sometimes there will be leftovers for lunch the next day. They are also very tasty and nutritious. This is Francis Barrineau's third book.

Never Enough: The Martha Syndrome, describes the plight of many Christians who are honored to be asked to serve the Lord in their local churches, but later allow their ministry to supercede other priorities in daily life. Consequently, many become overworked and experience depression and burnout to the point that their service becomes a burden. As this burden interferes with their fellowship with God, they find themselves desperately working in their own strength to fulfill the calling that began in the Spirit. The Martha Syndrome, named after Martha of Bethany as recorded in the tenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke, is often accompanied by such shame and anxiety that the Martha is unwilling to accept mind renewal and acknowledge the Lord s promise of burdens that are easy and a yoke that is light. The message and precepts presented in this book will bring spiritual, emotional and physical healing for many well-intentioned Christians who find themselves captured in this condition and who yearn to be restored into God's unique plan. Discover the true joy God has in store for each Christian as they learn how to receive His empowerment to perfect His plan and purpose for their Christian service.

Betty Gilbert s delightful story about South Florida s beloved pint-sized owls introduces her readers to one of her favorite birds. His name is Buffy, and through Gilbert s engaging narrative and remarkable photographs, we are given an intimate and fascinating peek into Buffy s family life. We watch as Buffy s parent s decorate their burrow to disguise it and protect it from predators. We look on as Buffy and his siblings venture out of the burrow for the first time. And we learn about what burrowing owls eat, as well as how they sleep, play, and stay clean. This is a book that will capture the imagination of children of all ages, but more important, it teaches young readers to appreciate and respect a species that has somehow managed to survive among humans in an urban environment as development continues to encroach on its natural habitat. After many years as a wildlife biologist, studying animals, birds and their habitats, I retired and relocated to South Florida in 2003, never imagining that I would soon find myself a willing participant in a research study of Cape Coral s favorite feathered resident, the burrowing owl. Although the Fish and Wildlife study had already begun when I arrived on the scene, it wasn t long before I was totally caught up in the project. Each spring we banded a few hundred owls and also observed nesting productivity. From what I have learned over the years conducting research alongside other biologist, I can assure readers that Betty Gilbert s portrayal of a burrowing owl family s day-to-day life is informed and accurate. A little history about Buffy, also known as C-3: Buffy was originally captured and banded at a nest on the corner of Country Club Blvd. and SE 35th Terrace in Cape Coral, Florida, on May 11, 2002, along with a sibling that was banded with a Red B-3. Buffy s sibling was recaptured on June 19, 2002. Buffy was later seen on August 13, 2002, but was not seen again after that date. As with most young owls, Buffy may have moved on somewhere to establish his own burrow. Buffy s parents were never captured or banded. Unfortunately, burrowing owls face many hazards in life and most don t live more than two or three years. Buffy s dad apparently passed away in the spring of 2005 and was replaced by a new male. This new male was originally captured as a youngster on May 2, 2004, at a burrow a few blocks south of Buffy s nest site and outfitted with a Blue band B-V. When Buffy s dad died, this male moved up to the burrow and was captured there on April 16, 2005. He was recaptured at that burrow in February 2006. As I thought about that location, I remembered that recently a burrow on the very next street was flooded earlier this spring, 2008, and three owl chicks had to be rescued from the high water. Following the rescue, I had to put in a new burrow a little higher up from the swale area to protect the family from further floods. The pair of adult owls moved right in to their new home and are there today. Since Buffy s home was only a few hundred yards away, my wife and I decided to go see if Buffy s original home might still be on that corner. To our dismay a new house stood on the lot where Buffy was born and grew up. But as we drove up 35th Terrace, we noticed two new burrows are being used by descendants of Buffy s family. Owls stay in one burrow for life unless they are forced to build a new home somewhere else, and most owls that have to build somewhere do so nearby. We would like to think that it was Buffy s family we helped out during the heavy rains in April 2008, and that they and their offspring will continue to live in the neighborhood for years to come.

Sexual molestation of children is a social problem that seems to be increasing. Because sexual predators must have secrecy in order to molest children, the author has chosen the title Hide and Sex since it suggests a child's game with a sinister twist. Although a novel written for easy reading, Hide and Sex is clinically accurate with authentic social work practices and gives the reader a clear picture of the myriad of cases that Department of Children and Families caseworkers manage on a daily basis. These case histories, though fictional, replicate actual cases of deviant behavior and broken lives. The book takes the reader through the everyday life of a social worker named Liz, with episodes of her personal life interwoven throughout the story. As Liz works her way through sordid cases that affect her personal life, the story follows her through unhappy courtships until she meets the love of her life and prepares to marry him. Liz herself has a deep, dark secret she is forced to deal with before she can marry her fiancé, Brin. The author reveals how easily children can become victims of molestation with the goal of educating everyone who cares for children about the need to supervise them carefully at all times. Victims of abuse often feel that they have no control over their own lives or even over their own bodies. They feel that they have no choices available to them. The child knows something is wrong and blames him or herself, not others. The offender will often encourage the child to feel that the abuse is his or her fault and sometimes s/he will feel that s/he is a bad person. These children feel anger and betrayal because they are dependent upon adults for nurturing and protection and the offender often is someone who they should be able to love and trust. They may also feel betrayed by a non-offending parent who they feel has failed to protect them. Children who suffer sexual abuse often become runaways, drug addicts, alcoholics, or prostitutes. Even worse, they sometimes become molesters themselves and some even become murderers. That is why people must be made aware of the heinous crime of sexual abuse and its devastating ramifications. It is the author's hope that Hide and Sex will help bring this issue to light so all children can be protected.

At it s heart, Bob s new book, Paul Speaks To Us Today: Our Culture, Our Churches and Our Salvation is not what one might assume on first picking it up. It is not just another book on Pauline theology. Instead it is really a detective thriller. Through exhaustive research and combining the scriptural text written by the apostle Paul, Bob has managed to bring Paul to life in an astounding way. Not only are the historical settings carefully researched, they are narratively crafted to do three very important things. First, through its pages, dusty, musty history lives. Paul s missionary journeys, conflicts and burdens, teaching and revelation become living things. It is easy to see the passion of Paul s vocation and the possibilities of our own. Second, it is an important book for anyone who wants to make a serious study of Paul. Not many people would have the time or gifts to sift through details and be able to find the gems that are hidden in the Biblical text. To better understand Paul and his life is a great story, but it goes beyond that. It is a magnificent first step in gaining an overview of letters that contain such depth their study can never be finished. What this book does is unlock the door to the setting that surrounded Paul s life, and how God was working in it. It is abundantly helpful in understanding the depth of what God has given us through the Holy Spirit and Paul s hand. The third important thing is that time and again through this book Robert Balfour has served us well in calling us to find the ways in which we are led to live consecrated lives in a way that parallels that of Paul s life. It is history with a point that seeks to help us conform our lives to Christ and make choices to serve Him regardless of the cost. Chapter after chapter closes with a call to consider how we might live for Him. I am not only glad to have read it. I am glad that this book is here.
