Sibling Rivalry
My reasons for writing this book grew from the current state of social behavior (peer pressure) among our children. Sometimes we don't recognize that things that may seem simple or small to one person are a big issue to someone else. We should be more accepting of others' differences or preferences.We also have to recognize that today, it may take two parents working from home or outside of the home to support the family household. Therefore, the parents have to trust that the older siblings will watch and care for the younger siblings.My older siblings cared for the three little kids (which included me) when my mother had to make a living for our family. Once she left for work, there was no vehicle around. We lived out in the country thirty minutes away from any hospital, so my siblings were given a lot of responsibility.We were raised to go to church every Sunday, rain or shine. We really didn't have an excuse for not going to church since the church was at the top of the hill, and it took less than five minutes to walk there. It was at that little country church we learned to accept people for who they were and how to treat others within church.I believe if we teach our children love and respect for themselves as well as others, we can eliminate bullying. In the Christian faith, all that is asked of us is that we be obedient to God's Word and that we love one another.

The Cornerstone
The Cornerstone is a children's book about a little girl who fortuitously gained information that would forever help her in her walk with God. Marie and her mother, who is a single parent, lived with her mother's parents. They lived alone and had a room in their home for Marie and her mother. Marie's mother worked a lot and occasionally had to travel out of town and leave Marie behind. Like some children, Marie didnt like being left behind but there was nothing she could do. She often stood and wondered, when her mother pulled away, about the experiences she could have had if she had been allowed to go. Marie's grandfather was a wise old Christian gentleman and had a lot of knowledge to share. Being inquisitive, as most children are, gained Marie some valuable information. Whenever her grandfather spoke with his deep bass voice she listened to him. Making sure that she understood completely, she felt comfortable sharing what she had learned with others and anxiously awaited a time to share. When children are shy about talking, they are more likely to have a desire to speak up when they feel knowledgeable about a topic.Dr. Scruggs has had a lifelong interest in educating not only her own children but others as well. The Cornerstone may be read by an adult to a child so that questions can be answered and other nuggets of truth can be given or it may be read by the child. The book was written with the hope that children will gain a clear understanding of the importance of God in our life.This book could also be used as a read-aloud. The book has illustrations that could enhance the meaning of the book's content. When the book is read, the pictures can be shown and discussed. It is my prayer that The Cornerstone will be a great blessing to all who read it.

Twenty-Two Outrageous Tales
A beaver caught in a lie; a caterpillar with low self-esteem; a bird who is bullied for his size; a mouse who encounters Jesus. All these and more are friends you will make along the way as you dive into Twenty-Two Outrageous Tales Including Fat-Mile-O-Moe and Rafferty The Rabbit. A delightful collection of short stories that will uplift and inspire young minds everywhere! Each of these charming stories centers around a vibrant and memorable cast of characters who are all dealing with unique problems that we may even face in our own lives. Filled with Christian values, valuable insight, and important life lessons on every page, these stories tackle a variety of emotional challenges and other difficult situations with a loving, kid-friendly, and faith-based approach that will both entertain and help prepare them for anything life might put in their way. So, join in! Everyone's waiting! Born and raised in Alabama plus married to the same wonderful man since I was sixteen. We have four children, fourteen grandchildren, seven great grandchildren and soon to be eight, nine and ten. My husband and I love adventure and most of our adventures come from my life on the farm. I love critters and having cows, horses, sheep, goats, hogs, chickens and dogs can be incredibly adventurous. My Father had a unique gift that I was blessed to inherit, the art of telling stories and jokes. And with that gift I love to uplift people and put a smile on their face. I love the Lord and I have never been able to understand why He picked me to write His stories. God would send a story to me during my busiest moments, but I would stop what I was doing and start writing. That is why in each story I give God the credit because He truly inspired each story. I hope these stories touch your child's heart in some way and equally I hope it blesses the reader. God is good and He loves us all. And if you don't know Jesus, I hope this book will help you find Him. God Bless!

Where is Squeakers
Back cover summary: Squeakers is my very special friend and I love sharing him with others. He is so cute and cuddly, one would never guess he could bring about so much clamor and commotion, but what a lesson we learned this particular day!
Grace’s Amazing News
