To those we love and care about. We wonder what's coming next. We're scared, anxious, angry, and sad. We try, but never feel good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough. We wear masks.

In the Beginning!
My name is Ed Pal and I am a Bible believer. I am a believer because the Bible is the only Word that reveals the Truth of the Creator in relation to His creatures.I wrote this book to exhort the readers to be aware of the importance of acknowledging the Truth of the Bible. I know! The Truth and the lie have become so mixed up these days that we cannot distinguish which is which anymore!We got so used to the lie that it became part of our daily life. We like so much to lie that we fell in love with it! We love so much to lie that if we don't lie, we feel uncomfortable. We love so much to lie that we even lie to ourselves! We love so much to lie, that we lie even if it is not convenient. And to lie is always not convenient, because it causes only troubles. Even though we love to lie to others, we hate that others are lying to us.Even so, we don't like to hear the Truth, either! But contrary to all this confusion, The Truth of the Bible will free us from the woes to come. (Rev. 8: 13)I believe that there is no creation without the Creator, and no Truth without the Truth of the Bible! And the Truth reveals that intelligent life can only proceed from intelligent life! And so, since the intelligent creation reveals the Intelligent Creator, whoever neglects or ignores the revelation of the Word, on the Judgement Day, will have no justification before the Throne of God! God Bless Us All!

Believing that it is time for Paper Towel to go live with other snakes like him, the boys sadly let him free to go live outside. They pray for his safety and hope he finds friends.

Changing My Direction
Change, comes from deed within, it comes from a made up mind. Focus, alone with a plan and goals. If you plan to change don't just say it, do something about it. This book, isn't for everyone, it's to those that are lost, without direction or instruments for their lives. - Pain isn't torment, pain is experience. - Pain is wisdom and knowledge. - Pain is strength. No, you don't like pain but you experience pain, to bring you to your expectation, to bring you to your best self. If you never experience pain, you will never know your character. What it is to love, to live or to grow. It is pain that you are birth into, to bring you to the beauty of living. If you fight the pain you will never understand your place in life. If you embrace the pain you will find the strength to live and to move forward through faith.

Perhaps you have felt that you just were not good enough to accomplish something important. Try being a bumblebee. The bumblebee was told he should not be able to do the one thing that God created him to do. But you see, God had a plan and a purpose for the bumblebee, and the bumblebee reminds us that others do not get to decide what we will do or who we will be. God has already decided that he has an awesome plan and a purpose for you. That is why we need to seek God's plan for us-and fly.

Bryan Stevenson's incredible fight to end mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality comes to life in this young adult adaptation of the acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestseller that was adapted into a major motion picture starring Michael B. Jordan, Jaime Foxx, and Brie Larson. In this very personal work--adapted from the original #1 bestseller, which the New York Times calls "as compelling as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so"--renowned lawyer and social justice advocate Bryan Stevenson offers a glimpse into the lives of the wrongfully imprisoned and his efforts to fight for their freedom as the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative. Stevenson's story is one of working to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society--the poor, the wrongly convicted, and those whose lives have been marked by discrimination and marginalization. Through this adaptation, young people of today will find themselves called to action and compassion in the pursuit of justice. A portion of the proceeds of this book will go to charity to help in Stevenson's important work to benefit the voiceless and the vulnerable as they attempt to navigate the broken U.S. justice system.

The perfect tool to teach children how to evaluate and manager their anger. I Can Control My Anger provides parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers the opportunity to speak with children about this important topic. Do you sometimes get angry? I do. Sometimes I have such rage, I want to yell at the top of my lungs or shout at someone else. Sometimes I even want to shred something or stomp on it. When I get angry, my heart beats faster than usual, I get hot, and my face turns as red as a tomato. Occasionally, I get cold and my hands shake when I am really frustrated and mad. We all get angry, and we all feel that anger in different ways. We may get hot or cold. We may want to yell at our parents or our friends, or we may want to pout and not talk to anyone. We may want to punch pillows or we may just want to cry. Sometimes we know why we're angry, and sometimes we don't. And that's okay. This book sensitively teaches young readers about anger and shows them healthy ways to process and express their thoughts and emotions when they are mad.
