But knowing they are destined to be heroes, and knowing what it means to be heroes, are two different things.One day a mysterious package shows up at their doorstep. It is a gift from their grandfather, which would not be that odd except for the fact that he had passed away five years earlier.  His unexpected last gift to his grandchildren, a dream catcher, would allow them to travel back in time to see their heroic ancestors in action in order to help them find their own destiny. Along the way the twins learn a bit of history, the importance of faith, and the value of family. These lessons empower them to solve the mysteries of the dream catcher, to discover what they needed to learn, and above all, to answer the question . . . how are they going to get back home?","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301872939381,"sku":"9781498449113","price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781498449113_4a0fd2c1-e730-4cb6-b17a-dded7d257083.jpg?v=1786021821"},{"product_id":"9781662840814","title":"Rainbow Rainbow","description":"\u003cp\u003eRainy days have kept Reggie and Renee cooped up inside the house.

Knowing that we can overlook the small blessings God gives us in our day, focusing instead on the more noticeable ones, Kathi presents a devotional that helps us to recognize all blessings every day. Each devotional message begins with a chosen Scripture verse, which is expounded upon with the author’s message in the devotional and then followed by a journaling section. There is also a daily reading guide to aid readers in navigating through the treasures of the Bible in one year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea to create her own devotional of thankfulness began when Kathi noticed each November that social media sites challenged people to post each day on what they were thankful for.

As readers read each day of A Year of Thanksgiving, Kathi hopes the devotional uplifts and encourages readers to take a moment each day and share thankfulness to God for the blessings He has given.

He asks:\"Were they ashamed when they committed abominations? No, they were not ashamed, they did not know how to BLUSH\".     We can ask that very same question about the people we meet daily who exhibit the characteristics of rudeness, ill-manners, impoliteness and even abominations. We will probably get the same answer. They don't know how to blush, never were taught and never will be sorry for their uncivil words or actions.    This book reveals how civility, manners, respect, and Christian attributes within the American culture have been cast aside and replaced by self-centered, immoral, disgraceful, and demeaning living standards within all categories of human society. It further reveals how children were taught manners and biblical attributes when our nation was founded. Their education was centered on the Holy Bible for nearly two hundred years along with Christian principles taught in  The New England Primer and The McGuffey's Reader as the primary source of education in the schoolhouse. You will learn how that changed, who changed it, why it happened, and best of all you will be encouraged to learn how it can be turned around.    This is a book for parents, teachers, counselors, overseers, and especially boys and girls so that everyone working together can make all of us a more loving, polite, and mannerly people and make America a better place in which to live. This is the first and probably the only book I will ever write. It's taken four years to complete and at ninety years of age time would most assuredly give out before I could produce another book. The first three and one-half years of writing this book was painstakingly slow. Then the words of Jeremiah 6:15 and 8:12 were discovered and the Holy Spirit supplied words, energy, and discipline to bring this book to completion. It  may not become a New York Times best seller, but it is a clarion call to people of all ages in the United States and throughout the world to repent of their abominations and return to civility.
