getting rid of hate, one person at a time...
"Fault Lines" book three in Nancy Rue's `Nama Beach High Series, starts up a month after the incident that left Laura with her broken jaw (book 2, False Friends and True Strangers).Laura is doing better now, but her jaw is still wired shut, and she can't sing.In fact, everything is going good at `Nama High, until K.J.'s parents announce their plans to divorce and a new group of students come to school.The new students are Jews, only everyone thinks their Middle Eastern terrorists.And it doesn't help when everyone soon finds out that they're Jews, because the students of `Nama High have no idea what to do about a group of Jews who are unfriendly and sit together in a quiet group, not talking to anyone and even telling Laura and her posse that they want nothing to do with them.When a group of Rednecks starts to pick on the Jewish students, Laura is the first person to stand up-but realizes that she's standing up for the wrong reasons.At this point Ponytail Boy intervenes yet again, informing her that she needs to get rid of the hate in herself before she can help others get rid of their hate.So Laura comes up with an idea to bridge the gap between the Jewish students and the Christians on campus, all the while trying to get rid of her own hate, and later the hate among her friends.Laura finally does befriend the Jewish students on campus-but the event causes the unthinkable to happen. It is only then that Laura learns how much she has let God change her, especially after the unthinkable happens to her and she meets up with Richard, her ex from the first book in the series.This book continues to draw upon being an example to non-Christian friends, while also bringing to light the passages in the Bible regarding hate (although indirectly), solving your own problems before going after someone elses, and, lastly, Rue talks about the common links in Judaism and Christianity, and points out how modern day Christians themselves can be unreasonably nasty and hateful to Jews.A must read in the `Nama Beach High series. ...

Arthur review
This book is about an aardvark who wants to see new places but when he actually gets there there are these weird creatures called pigs there.I will not tell you any more so I won't ruin it for you since there's asurprisingly intresting plot.However I will tell you this: get this book,you will not be dissapointed. The pictures are great too!

Pigs and aardvarks illustrate human nature in this charmer
A beautifully illustrated and hilarious look at human nature and especially the nature of our prejudice against new and different ideas or people.This charming picture book makes its point as it entertains usingendearing aardvarks and pigs to illustrate our human foibles.Moreeffective than a million boring & didactic injunctions, this slimvolume ranks with the Sneetches as a delightful way to encourage toleranceand open mindedness in the picture book set.I do hope the publisher willreprint it. ...

Children Building Bridges
I really enjoyed this book, which is the first in the series.These are the days of intolerance and misunderstanding.Rose is typical of most children, who have open minds and view the world through a fun house mirror.She is not a Muslim, but she is eager to learn about her new friends from Saudia Arabia.This book is also a great primer of Islamic principles.Little kids and big kids alike can learn, and will be delighted by this story!

Sweet Story
This is the story of a sweet young girl named Rose, and her Grandma who invites two Saudi police officers to stay in her house for a year while they are receiving training at a local university. During the story, Rose deals with her own stereotypes, her father's resistence to the Saudi's presence, and her curiosity about Saudi and Islamic customs.
Rose - a role model
The Visitors, the first book in the Islamic Rose Series of books by Linda D Delgado is a delightful read. It teaches lessons, which in todays climate of suspicion and intolerance, are invaluable. Rose is your everyday American girl excited at the prospect of meeting Saudi Police officers who will come and stay at grandma's house. She expects flowing robes and great big beards and swords but finds jeans instead. She learns valuable lessons along the way and for me that makes the book so special. The lessons are universal and Rose is really and truly a role model who can be a positive influence on all children who will have the good fortune of 'meeting' her. ... Read more
