Grandmothers have something to give a child that is entirely different from what a parent gives. And this book of gentle, playful stories offers a rich taste of what that wonderful "something" is. Readers will find a collection of tender, touching, and true stories, poems, and reflections that celebrate a grandmother's unique influence, written by both well-known writers such as Patsy Clairmont, Emilie Barnes, and Phillip Gulley as well as ordinary people fortunate enough to have experienced firsthand the power and blessing of a grandmother's love.

Through an accumulation of circumstances, God led the author, Bonnie Brooks, to trek through the Gospel of Luke, breaking up fallow ground, shovel in hand, relishing the views, amazing vistas, and journaling phrases. Born out of an encounter with the Almighty, A Grandmother’s Journal is written for the purpose of passing on a spiritual legacy to the next generation. The Journal chronicles a daily spiritual expedition into the earthly life of Jesus as viewed through the eyes of the beloved physician, Luke. Together with Brooks, stroll the dusty roads of Israel, feel the breeze and splashes of water as you sail on the Sea of Galilee in a first-century boat while encountering a storm, celebrate miracles Jesus performed no one imagined possible, and kneel at the cross on Golgotha as the sky darkens and the ground quakes. Come alone or better yet, invite others to share the journey with you. A Grandmother’s Journal explores the deeper layers of Luke’s Gospel, the longest Gospel of the Bible and the most comprehensive of the three other Gospels. As Brooks portrays various scenes in her entries, you are urged to recall people, events, and spiritual markers from your own story, your legacy, in order to pass them onto the next generation. From her heart to yours!

Smart, warm, telling, and funny, Funny, Your Don't Look Like a Grandmother is the perfect bouquet for today's grandmother, that active and interesting woman who is old enough to be somebody's grandmother and young enough to run around the world. Lois Wyse's new book, charmingly illustrated by Lilla Rogers, is a collection of wit and wisdom for today's Nana, Grandma, Goo-Goo, or Gran. How can you recognize today's grandmother? Easy, says Wyse. The grandmother is the one who goes out more and complains less than her daughter. In the spirit of Erma Bombeck and Bill Cosby, Lois Wyse tells loving and amusing stories that illustrate the joys of contemporary grandmothering. According to Lois Wyse, "A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do." Contemporary grandmothers and their children and grandchildren will see themselves in these reflections of family life that include everything from how it feels to become a grandmother to gentle advice on parenting and career grandmothers. Funny, You Don't Look Like a Grandmother is the first nontraditional book about grandmothers who may not look like grandmothers -- but who love as deeply as the generations of grannies who preceded them.

Explores ways in which grandmothers can find satisfaction in their new roles, have better understanding of family tensions, communicate more effectively with their daughters and daughters-in-law, and provide emotional support.
