Book Description
"It is a unique experience to read a book that speaks directly to your heart. If you live with a rare life altering disease, you spend a lot of time in your head. It's hard to put the thoughts into words. In Bedtime Stories for the Living, Jay Armstrong accurately articulates the thoughts of any person living with a rare disease or anyone simply struggling to overcome their challenges." Kyle Bryant, spokesperson for the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance and host of the Two Disabled Dudes podcast. A regular dad. A rare brain disease. A chance to live forever. A cell phone's ring interrupts the silence as Jay Armstrong sits in his high school classroom preparing for the year ahead. Something about the ring makes his stomach drop. It's his doctor. The words, "diffuse cerebellar atrophy, a rare, degenerative brain disease" float through the speaker. All of Jay's youthful dreams of being a writer rush back, flooding the twenty years he has spent teaching students how to appreciate novels, memoirs, and poetry. The care he put into teaching them how to write with clarity, insight, and humor, and how to dance at the prom. The bedtime stories he never told his children spin in his imagination. It will all die when he dies. Bedtime Stories for the Living is an episodic memoir in which Jay shows his children how to accept their limitations and find joy. The collection of tender, witty stories about fatherhood, persevering despite illness, and pursuing your dreams, demonstrates how love gives us the strength to face heartache with bravery, humor, and grace. Reviews: "Jay Armstrong is a wonderful storyteller. I knew this the moment he joined me on my podcast. I'm thrilled to see that his storytelling translates to the page and his book is filled with stories. Jay shares stories of his challenges, his triumphs and his medical journey. I'm so glad he continues to share his stories." Jesse Jackson, Host of the Set Lusting Bruce podcast "Jay Armstrong's debut, Bedtime Stories for the Living, is part memoir, part confession, and a love letter for his children. Cataclysmic news - a hole in his brain, a rare and poorly understood condition, steady loss of motor skills and speech obstructing his desire to share in each activity with his young children - haunt each page, woven into the prism of sundry fleeting moments. Yet here, these earthy glimpses are charged with mystery, and the holiness of love. Jay's book is about the quandary of fear and suffering that face

Book Description
Dr. Seuss's hilarious Beginner Book about a boy who refuses to get out of bed! NOTHING is getting the young hero of this easy-reader out of bed—not an alarm clock, roosters, barking dogs, the police, the news media, or the United States Marines! With illustrations by beloved New Yorker cartoonist James Stevenson—and a plot that children and adults can relate to—this is a funny fantasy that the whole family can enjoy together! Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning. "A rhyming story that is full of laughs. 'The alarm can ring. The birds can peep....Today's the day I'm going to sleep,' says a lazy boy one morning, and despite a pail of icy water, television coverage, and the arrival of the Marines, he vows to stay in bed--and he does! The repetition of concepts and words will keep children turning the pages, as will the energetic drawings. A sure draw for early readers."--Booklist.

Book Description
These stories were written to help children learn important values to enrich their lives and make the world a better place to live. Some are designed to invite the listener to put themselves into the story. Though interaction is not required, it does encourage listener engagement. Interacting with the story opens the door to empathy for the characters in the stories. The questions along the way invite the listener to respond and engage in the story. The mantra found in many of them conveys a value that each generation should pass on to the next. The vocabulary and review questions help provide additional access to understanding. Story Summaries Being Kind Feels Good—Kenny discovers that being kind is a gift for both the receiver and the giver. Patience Is a Virtue—Gracie doesn’t give up and learns to ride her two-wheeled bike. A Week at the Lake— A family vacation with cousins, aunts, and uncles.

Book Description
This is not the normal children's book. Most children's books are picture books with some words; this is a “word book” with some pictures. It is meant to be a tool that parents can use to help rescue their children from the constant brainwashing by those that hate America or who are unwitting victims to those who do. In 2008 America took a hard turn to the Left, toward the destructive ideologies of collectivism. For the enemies of Liberty to implement collectivist policies, everyday Americans must be convinced that America is a failure, that its ideals are outdated or flawed from the beginning. The most susceptible to these lies are our children. Since I have not been able to convince very many parents to remove their children from the poisonous government school system which is every day destroying what parents claim to hold most dear, then I thought it would be good to give parents something to help vaccinate their children against this Anti-American disease. Enough of the cute little nursery rhymes, our nation is dying – we have already lost a generation. These little ones at our feet may be the only hope for America. We must start now! Take this book and others like it and SOW THE SEEDS OF LIBERTY into the minds of a new generation of patriots. May God grant us a space of grace to save the greatest nation ever founded in His name. If not, may HE come quickly and deliver us from our folly!

Book Description
When everyone has settled down for the night, the horses at The Equestrian Therapy Center talk with each other about their day, the people they’ve helped, the challenges they’ve confronted, and the fun they’ve had. BEDTIME STORIES FROM THE BARN are based on actual experiences. Since they are “straight from the horses’ mouths”, the author has taken liberty to embellish the facts. The stories are to be read nightly by a parent, caretaker, or loved one to children ages six to twelve. Each story has a psychological lesson based on Biblical principles. Each story is designed to teach coping strategies, to provide insights into emotional and spiritual safety and security, and to promote sweet dreams for all attentive ears.
