Books

You may have noticed that I have a "What I am Reading" section on the right of my Posts. I would like to use this post to tell you about these books. Most of this is on the back of the books.

The Way of Traditional Taekwondo Brown Belt Book By: Grand Master Haeng Ung Lee
       This book has all of the material covered in the brown belt curriculum. You can use this book alongside the Taekwondo classes, but it is not meant to be used on it's own.

~Angelique~ Buffalo Hunt By: Cora Taylor
       Meet Angelique: With her Metis family, she is preparing for the annual buffalo hunt on the prairies. This year's hunt will be special for Angelique because she is old enough now to participate alongside the grownups, instead of the children (like her little brother Joseph). Excited and a little scared too, she knows it will be hard work, with new and important responsibilities. Just how important becomes clear on the day Angelique wanders off exploring and finds herself amidst a buffalo stampede. The consequences not only to her, but to the whole hunt, may be costly.

Mandie and the Medicine Man By: Lois Gladys Leppard
       A Cherokee superstition seems to have come back to haunt Mandie and her friends-the gold they discovered (in a previous book) has been donated to build a new hospital, but someone or something is tearing the walls down as fast as they can be built. The guard posted to watch the site is knocked out, tied up, and blindfolded.
Will Mandie be able to find her friend Joe? Will Mandie and Sallie be rescued from their kidnappers? Will Mandie learn her lesson about jumping to conclusions?

Emily Makes a Difference By:Joann A. Grote
        Emily Allerton is like any twelve year old girl - excited about her chance to see the Chicago World's Fair and mesmerized by the remarkable technology on display there. She even sees an amazing machine called an "automobile."
        But when Emily and her cousin, Ted Kerr, return home to Minneapolis, a national economic slowdown puts thousands of people out of work. They're homeless and hungry - and Emily knows God wants her to do something to help.

Anne Frank and the Children of the Holocaust By: Carol Ann Lee
        "In September 1939, when World War II began, there were more than one and a half million Jewish children living in countries occupied, or soon to be occupied, by Hitler's armies. By 1945, when the war ended, over a million of those children - including Anne Frank - were no longer alive."

The Secret Garden By: Frances Hodgson Burnett
        Mary stared at the rusty iron key as it hung from her finger. "Perhaps it has been buried for ten years," she whispered. "Perhaps it is the key to the garden!"
        Mary Lennox, a disagreeable and unwanted orphan, has been brought to live in her uncle's huge house on the Yorkshire moors. It is a bleak place, where strange sounds echo through the corridors at night, and servants are not allowed to speak to her. Most mysterious of all is the walled garden that has no door. But Mary has found the key - so there must be a way in........

~Cameron Townsend~ Good News in Every Language By: Janet and Geoff Benge
         The Cachkiquel man became indignant when Cam offered him a tract in Spanish. 
         "Do you have one in Cakchiquel?" he asked.
         "There is none, I'm sorry," replied Cam.
         "Well," retorted the man, "if your God is so great, why can't he speak my language?"
         In one decisive moment, Cameron Townsend understood that God had called him to translate Bible into the language of his Guatemalan friends. For Cam, the obstacles were small when compared to the growing reward of helping the diverse people of Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru read God's life-changing Word for themselves.
         Quick on his feet and slow to give up, Cam started Wycliffe Bible Translators with the dream of making the Gook News available in every language. Since 1942, Wycliffe has translated Scripture into hundreds of languages, spreading God's Word to people all over the world.

So these are the books I am reading. I love to read and I hope you got some good ideas of books to read from this.
