The Turtle King is a heartwarming tale about a little turtle who discovers that a crown does not make a king — love does.

Swept away by a storm and carried into a new pond, a young turtle finds a home among creatures who need a friend. Year after year, he learns their names, cares for the smallest among them, and serves his neighbors in quiet ways. But when a devastating storm destroys the beaver’s dam and threatens the pond they all call home, the turtle discovers that true leadership is not about standing above others, it is about standing beside them.

Through kindness, humility, and selfless love, one turtle shows that the greatest leaders are those who serve.

Inspired by the timeless truth that “whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,” The Turtle King is a gentle reminder that love, compassion, and faithfulness are the marks of a true king.

The dictionary is loaded with an extremely rich trove of past-used and present-day words, phrases, and, where possible, appropriate short sentences for illustration. The extensive compilation of the Vietnamese lexicon, which reveals the author's thorough investigation of its etymology, development, and diverse usage, is enhanced by a supply of well-chosen English equivalents and, when necessary, an excellent rendering by the author of the Vietnamese expression into its English counterpart. Given the dearth in reference materials in Vietnamese and English languages as well as English speakers' increasing interest in learning Vietnamese language and culture on the one hand and Vietnamese speakers' need to improve their English skills on the other, this dictionary should appeal to a variety of audiences including researchers, specialists, professionals, students, and lay people.

Nancy has written a very accessible book for those people who want to know more about remote viewing from a civilian stand point. She is a pivotal person who helped and inspired me to explore more within the world of remote viewing. Her book shares solid resources for those people who want to explore further, plus her own experiences and transcripts. It is one of those books that was very easy to finish with solid information towards additional sources if one would like further expansion on the subject.

"The Painting” is a work of art in itself. Gifted author Kathleen Shields, paints a colorful canvas of words in this creative and magical story. I enjoyed relating to the characters, they captured my attention throughout the book. The added dimension of Gerald’s painting sparked my imagination into a dream escape, making the story come alive. Much to my delight, that wasn’t the end of the story. I encourage you to find out what’s missing in Gerald’s perfect painting too. It may shine some light into your own life. I highly recommend this book and I’m looking forward to “The Painting 2,” the next book!
