Using children's and young adult literature is a great way to improve a variety of college classes in fields as varied as biology, computer game development, political science and history. This collection of new essays by educators from a number of disciplines describes how to use such works as Where the Wild Things Are, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Swamp Thing, Percy Jackson, and Harry Potter to introduce complex concepts, spark interest in difficult subjects and develop an understanding of how to teach to college and upper high school students.

This book took shape as The Holy Spirit opened up the scriptural path from Jesus to Daniel to Ezekiel, confirming a "Thus saith the Lord" sureness to the resulting End-Time Time Line. I was born into a Christian Home and was active in a local Bible-believing Church. Special prophetic studies led me to a staunch Pre-Tribulation position lasting through WWII and college years. At UCLA and UC Berkeley, BS and MSEE engineering degrees were earned. Trained to be accurate, knowing God had one plan, I pleaded for His direction on my life related to the End-Time Time Line.
