MOMENTS TO TREASURE FOR MOTHER AND CHILD
Just as the teen characters in Nancy Rue's Raise the Flag series continue to meet at the school flagpole to pray for one another, teens and preteens will continue to find encouragement and hope in stories that address vital issues and help them find strength to meet the greatest challenges in life–continuing with Book Five: Friends Don't Let Friends Date Jason.
Shy and unsure of herself, Marissa Martinez has never exactly been the center of anyone's attention. But when the "Perfect Boy," Jason Oakman, notices her at a True Love Waits youth rally, everything changes. Gorgeous, mature—and best of all, a Christian!—Jason can have any girl he wants. And it soon becomes clear that Marissa is the target of his affections.
The problem is, Jason wants to be a bit too affectionate-and with her aunt on her honeymoon, Ms. Race dealing with her own crisis, and all the Flagpole Girls being so busy, Marissa doesn't know where to turn. But just when the situation seems its worst, she gets just the support she needsa—and while learning what a beautiful person God has made her to be, Marissa begins to see that she is the center of Someone's attention after all.

Bonnie Knopf is the vocalist for the annual conventions of Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS), a 35,000 member international support organization. Since 1986, she has released three albums: Treasures, Every Moment, and Close to His Heart. She is also a highly requested solo performer and worship leader for conferences around the United States.
Parental love runneth over in this sweetly illustrated collection of prayers from a mother to her child. Beginning with the first prayer beside her daughter's bassinet to ask God's blessing on her baby, these petitions accompany the progressive stages in the girl's life. The daughter grows through grade school, high school and eventually becomes a mother herself, passing the blessings on to a new generation. Throughout the passage of time, two things remain constant: the love and faith a mother has for her child. Knopf's tender and accessible prayers from parent to child resonate with universal emotion. She includes a repeated refrain that many mothers may well adopt for their own: "And all the angels everywhere/ Hear mothers love as it fills the air/ Day and night I say this quiet prayer/ Lord, keep my child in your care." Brooks's vividly hued paintings feature folk-art inspired borders and call to mind the work of Carolyn Croll. A cast of children and mothers from many cultures populate various settings that will prove familiar to many readers: a park, a teen's cluttered bedroom. This pleasant volume will make a welcome baby gift or addition to the family library. All ages.
