The Little Old Man, the Little Old Woman, and the Little Red Hen by David L. Roper

I love the art, especially of the hen and the household furnishings. I don't follow the premise of the story, though. Why not have the normal half an egg as usual, *and* half a cinnamon roll, or half a bagel? How could half an egg ever been enough? Still, less analytical children can find a lot to enjoy in this story.

Acts 1-14 (Truth for today commentary) by David L. Roper

How does one comment on a commentary? This volume and its series are excellent and well laid out. It has superb usability in its construct and layout. The topical or thematics depict acceptable scholastic threads. The author has selected a decent cadre of bibliography to build its case. The scholarship making up this volume is well-deserved and appreciated by the reader to develop the layout for good sermons or to develop a curriculum in teaching. Well done!
