Product Description

Is there hope after Columbine?

The Columbine tragedy asks the question, is there any hope left? Directly challenged by the shootings, Brian Cavanaugh answers with a vibrant yes--and this all-new collection just for today's families. Here are 100 stories that restore faith, renew hope, and refresh the spirit of family life. Included are personal anecdotes, folktales, news items, and reports of contemporary events--all dealing with children, teenagers, peer pressure, marriage, holidays, school, work, and so on.

Coinciding with the tenth-anniversary of this best-selling series, the newest Sower's Seeds has entries by or about Chicken Soup's Mark Victor Hansen, Loren Eisley, Norman Vincent Peale, Ann Landers, General Douglas MacArthur, as well as dozens of everyday people. A few titles give the range of topics: "A Student's Creed," "What It Takes to Be a Dad," "17 Rules for a Happy Marriage," "Tips for Parent-Teen Relationships," "A Tombstone for Mediocrity," "The Catharsis from Sin Treatment," and "Why Are Things the Way They Are?"

Years before there was Chicken Soup, Sower's Seeds was making readers laugh, cry, and come away with a warm heart. The newest book--like the others in the series--is ideal both for quiet inspiration and for handy, on-the-run fun.

This is storytelling at its best.

By A Customer

Every parent or teacher wants to plant seeds that will produce such values as compassion,generosity,joyful living, resisting peer pressure,gratitude, and respect. This is a book that will help to do just that. Often, children and young people will listen to a story, think it over, and reach a good decision more easily through a good story.
