Living Life in the Zone
On 2/15 Andy Darnell wrote: Lee Corso recommends this book. It is right there on the cover. How could you ignore that!?

Jungle Jack's The Wackiest, Wildest, and Weirdest Animals in the World
On 6/16 Andy Darnell wrote: First off, this book is geared towards children. It has neat information about 30 different animals that are considered either Wacky, Wild, or Weird. I think it is funny that as I was reading the list of animals to my 6 year old the first time, she asked me, “How is that animal ‘Wacky’?” That is when ...

100 Bible Stories, 100 Bible Songs
On 6/3 Andy Darnell wrote: What a fantastic book. After having gone through several children’s Bibles and books with Bible stories in them, it is always nice to find another high quality and well produced book.
