Luther The Graphic Novel Echoes of the Hammer

Hi Neighbors!

I just have to share this with my neighbors At the Fence! As a general rule, I am not big on graphic novels, but when they did one of Martin Luther, my husband just had to see it. He has a collection of items on Martin Luther. The children all quote, "Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen."

My children's favorite quote! My husband's too!

Indulgences explained.

This entire graphic novel, Echoes of the Hammer, is all about Martin Luther. His life and his stand all the way to his death. He turned the world on end with his stand, and brought about changes that are still in effect today. The novel by Susan Leigh, illustrated by Dave Hill is 143 pages long. It is filled with facts from both Luther's life and the time period he lived in. Including his marriage to Katharina von Bora. My 10 year old has a cd base don Katharina's life. She loves it. Many children today are so caught up in video games and today's high speed society that they have no time for great heroes of the past. This is a great way to introduce your children to Martin Luther and the reformation. This graphic novel shows how Luther's stand affected the whole reformation. There is so much information packed into this book, and it is obvious that much time and thought went into producing Echoes of the Hammer. Every couple of pages there are little interesting tidbits of information, from enemies of Luther, his friends, the cities he was in, the leaders of that time, etc. This makes a great read for both young and old alike.

Another nice feature is all the extra facts they give you regarding the reformation. A timeline in the back will help you to put it all together as to exactly where each event occurred. Helps you to put it into focus.

You can purchase the graphic novel, Echoes of the Hammer on Amazon.com for $9.99. Or at Concordia Publishing House. My husband highly recommends Echoes of the Hammer. He has his own copy!

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.
