    Colton's Time Machine American History Series for Kids 

   In the treehouse, Colton went over to the shelf, took down 11 boxes of cereal, and put them on the command chair. Then he went over and started the generator, turned on the television, and sat down in the chair. He took the dragon glasses out of his shirt pocket and put them on then opened up the handheld typewriter and typed in Dragon Land, and pushed enter. The wind started whipping around him like a tornado creating a terrible noise, so he covered his ears.

   Before long, Colton was falling through the air. Then, slat, he landed on the purple ground with boxes of cereal crashing down on top of his head. He picked up the boxes and put them on the rock table, then he yelled at the top of his lungs, “I’m here!”

   All the dragons came running out of their caves when they heard Colton’s voice.

  “Where are we going?” Oreo asked.

  “I’ve chosen three important places in our American history,” and excited Colton said taking off dragon glasses and putting them in his shirt pocket. “Now hurry up and form a circle around me and take hold of hands.”

"In The Flesh" a book by Michael Gabriele

  I recently read a remarkable book that was written by the author  Michael Gabriele.  This book is titled, "In The Flesh".  It is written from the view of Jesus himself.  The most remarkable story ever told is written as Jesus felt, loved and died.  Walk with Jesus from 3 years before his death, to his death, then the resurrection.
  I love the story of Jesus and his walk on Earth as a human through the picking of the apostles and on up until the crucifixion.  Having read the Bible, watched movies and heard the story, I definitely know the ending, but never have I thought about how Jesus actually felt during those times.  Michael Gabriele places you in the sandals of Jesus and you come about as close to the real thing as possible.
