With recent changes in the curriculum and standards in language arts and mathematics, parents often are challenged to find ways to help their children be successful in their learning endeavors. While parents want to be involved in their children's education, they are often unsure of their role in their children's learning and the best ways to help their children to succeed academically. Moreover, with the changes in how math and literacy are being taught, parents often struggle with helping even first grade children with their homework. In this book we set out to alleviate this struggle, by offering parents a resource they can use to navigate their child's education, communicate with teachers, and support their children in learning mathematics and literacy. After providing an overview of the current educational climate and tips for communication with teachers, we share strategies and suggestions parents can use to assist their children in language arts and mathematics. We provide detailed descriptions of activities, games, books, and conversations that connect with what children will be learning at each grade level.

A Real World Guide for the Highly Sensitive Person Approximately 20% of the population is sensitive or in some way psychic. Being sensitive or psychic can allow you to understand the world in a way that most people can't, and to see beyond what others are able to. But for many of you sensitivities are a burden, causing overwhelm or even physical ailments. Most information about psychic abilities on the market is aspirational, meaning that all of the books out there focused on "opening your third eye" or "becoming psychic" are not meant for the highly sensitive person. You don't want to become more sensitive, you may in fact be holding on for dear life because you are overwhelmed, panicked, have issues with sleep, body pain, headaches, digestive issues, and constantly shifting emotions. Or you might be mildly sensitive, but still need skills to manage going to work, or want to know more about how to become more functional while still being sensitive in this world. Learn how psychic abilities and sensitivities develop, where you are on the spectrum of these abilities and sensitivities, and most importantly, the basic and intermediate skills and techniques needed to be healthier, more functional, and to feel in control of your sensitivities and psychic abilities, so that you can live in the world more joyfully again.

The first modern, comprehensive resource on spiritual awakenings, this pragmatic, clear guide covers everything from the first step on a spiritual journey to enlightenment, and the different types of spiritual awakenings, from mild to dramatic, we may go through. Using the concept of the twelve layers that cover an awakened state Mary Mueller Shutan addresses every step of the spiritual journey, starting with the Self and showing how family, ancestral, past lives, karmic, archetypal, and other larger layers such as societal, cultural, global, and cosmic energies condition us to sleep and obscure our realization of an awakened state. Instructions for how to navigate through each of these layers and how to recognize where we are in our spiritual journey are included each step of the way along with common physical, emotional, and spiritual symptoms that may be experienced. By addressing post-awakening states, oneness, dark nights of the soul, ego death, near-death and severe illness, psychic abilities, addictions, dietary changes, the God self, personal and collective shadow, and psychosis vs. awakening we understand the experiences we may go through while struggling with spiritual awakenings. This practical book opens new understandings of how to live in the world while going through an awakening process, and offers the revolutionary idea that we are meant to be humans, to have a physical body with physical, sensate experiences and emotions. We are meant to live in the world and be a part of it even as fully awakened individuals. This guide proposes a look at the possibility of leading a grounded, earth-bound life of work, family, friends, and other experiences in an awakened state.

"Mary Mueller's Burnt Offering is her exclamation point at the end of her epic Ryersen Trilogy. Mueller's prose is, as always, flawless, her dialog relevant and poetic. With a message bigger than these pages yet simple enough to exist in the Northwest Ohio farmlands, Mueller defies the stereotype that says sequels can't be better than book one. Burnt Offering stands on its own as a profound statement of faith, family and the concept of home." - Josh Clark, author of "The McGurney Chronicles" series, the "Dakota Lester" books and the forthcoming novel, "The Streak." - "This is exactly what Christian fiction should be - real characters living and struggling in our non-Christian world, flourishing despite, or even because of, those struggles by God's grace. Any Christian ever harmed by sin within their family, or who has hurt those they love through their own sin, yet has seen those irreparably damaged relationships reborn through God's love can't help but recognize themselves and their family here. For those still walking that difficult path this story is a beacon of hope; for those who have completed that walk it is a treasured reminder of how faithful, good and loving the God who carried us through truly is." - Brian Schilton, Author of "Issachar's Heirs" -

Mirror Images, the sequel to The Redemption of Matthew Ryersen flings you right back into the home of John and Carolyn Abbott, a place where four lonely souls have come to live, heal and find God. Mirror Images, by Mary Mueller is beautifully written and witty. It deals with addiction, suicide and bullying in an honest, yet surprisingly quiet voice... so well done, a welcome authenticity in the brassy, superficial culture of today.

To say that Matthew Ryersen had fallen on hard times was a mammoth understatement. After a series of personal disasters left him homeless, Matthew took to the road, a drifter, walking from town to town, looking for work, barely eating and surviving. Life was simply not worth living. Then he met the family that would change his life, show him love, and guide him back to his creator.
