What People Are Saying:

"I warmly recommend this as a great resource for families." -Justin Taylor, The Gospel Coalition

From the Book:

"The squirrel shook his tail for a moment. 'Sir, I will make a deal with you.' 'What kind of deal can you make?' the Woodsman laughed. 'If you promise not to cut down my tree, I will tell you an amazing secret. I promise you, this secret is worth more than any tree, much, much more." -The Magic Walnut

"His chance came later on a moonless summer night. Unaware of the danger, King Abraham had taken his best men into the forest for two weeks of hunting. The castle had been left under the protection of the fat butler and the thin cook, who, though sturdy and brave, were no match for a cunning and powerful dragon." -A Reluctant Rescue

"One day a man appeared at Adam's Garden. 'I am an inspector from the Ministry of Nasty Smells,' he said, wrinkling his nose in disgust. 'We have had some complaints about your garden.' This was a town, you see, that took its gardening seriously." -The Fragrant Garden

I purchased these after having a total knee replacement. My heels were getting sore from the exercises. These little socks with the gel has helped tremendously. I am now sleeping in them. and the soreness is going away.
