George Washington's Cows

release date: Mar 11, 1997
George Washington's Cows
"George Washington''s cows were kept upstairs, And given their own special room. They never were seen by light of day. No matter for what or by whom." These cows are just the beginning of George''s problems. To be sure, his hogs are helpful around the house, but it irks Martha when their parties are better than hers. And then there are the sheep--all of them smarter than Tom Jefferson, with degrees (no to say "sheepskins") to prove it. What''s a Father of his country to do? David Smalll puts a hilariously sticky fingerprint on the well-polished veneer of American history, showing readers what really went on in the home of our first President.

Paper John

release date: Apr 01, 1989

Paper John moves to a little town by the edge of the sea and makes his living folding beautiful paper flowers, birds, and boats. HE is so skilled he even makes a paper house to live in.

But when a devil comes to town, Paper John''s skill and patience is put to the test as he does battle with the devil and his one devilish trick. Lively full-color paintings add to all the fun.

More of Everything
Alan Powers is getting on in years, and he''s coming to terms with some of the difficult people he''s loved in his life, helped by his wife, Marilyn, who is much younger and some ways much wiser. He gets calls from his ex-wife who says she''s getting phone calls from their dead son. He deals with his emotionally damaged brother, his surviving son''s struggles, and his crazy mother. He must placate the ghosts of past loves and cope with the loss of dear friends. Just as Paris beckons, he is struck down by a serious illness. Yet Marilyn will see that more remains of his life than a quiet summing up, and that in the end all their hard-won dreams will come to pass. MORE OF EVERYTHING is a love story told in a very special voice with moments that will make you laugh and cry, just like real life.

Almost Famous

release date: Jan 01, 1990
Almost Famous
"This languid, bluesy novel tells the story of a young baseball star''s emotional collapse after a car accident shatters his career. Elegantly crafted, Small''s first novel is a stunning debut".--Saturday Review.

The Wandering Leader

release date: Feb 25, 2026
The Wandering Leader
You have more inside you than you''ve shown the world. Most people sense it. Few pursue it. Fewer still build the kind of life that actually unleashes it. The Wandering Leader is built around one core conviction: every person carries a great promise - a potential stamped on their heart that whispers you''re meant for more. But great promise doesn''t develop on its own. It has to be forged across seven critical areas of life: career, social, financial, physical, spiritual, intellectual, and family. Let one area collapse, and it costs you everywhere. Strengthen one, and it multiplies across everything else. David Small has coached hockey players, led soldiers, and trained leaders in a jungle war zone. He''s learned - often the hard way - that talent without development is just potential that never showed up. This book is the framework he''s used to change that, for himself and for the people he''s coached across three decades and four continents. In this revised and expanded edition, a decade''s worth of new experiences and hard-won material has been woven throughout - from the hockey rink to the war zone to the jungle. You don''t have to be perfect. You just have to start.

Nameless Faceless People

release date: Feb 17, 2026
Nameless Faceless People
IF THE BURMA ARMY CAUGHT HIM, THEY''D EXECUTE HIM. David Small knew this as he crouched in a ditch, bullets cracking overhead-exactly the kind of place missionaries aren''t supposed to end up-more Mr. Bean than James Bond, and absolutely certain he was about to die. Again. For ten years with the Free Burma Rangers, he''s slipped across borders in the dead of night. Navigated landmine fields. Ducked as jets screamed overhead dropping 500-pound bombs. Pulled wounded soldiers from rivers of blood. Watched friends die in his arms. Burma is fighting the world''s longest civil war. Genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Villages burned. Millions displaced. Names erased. Faces forgotten. And almost no one''s paying attention. Small embedded with resistance fighters in the jungle-Rohingya, Karen, Karenni, Kachin, Arakan-learning their languages, eating their food, becoming family. They gave him new names. Taught him how to survive. Showed him what courage actually looks like. Through blood and fear, he learned the cost of following God: Don''t be led by comfort or fear. This is what happens when you say yes to God-scared, unqualified, but obedient. When love demands more than you have. When showing up matters more than being ready. Raw. Honest. Unforgettable. Foreword by David Eubank, Founder and Director of Free Burma Rangers Listen to the Nameless Faceless People soundtrack on Spotify, Apple Music, and wherever you stream music.

The BIG Metric Ninja Foodi Cookbook - Black and White Edition

release date: Jan 26, 2021
The BIG Metric Ninja Foodi Cookbook - Black and White Edition
The Ninja Foodi from Shark Ninja is an incredibly versatile device and the cooking possibilities are endless. Many recipe books already exist for this device but none of them seem to cater for the British, Australian or European markets... until now that is. Gone are the 1/2 cup measurements and converting temperatures from Fahrenheit. This book uses British tablespoons, teaspoons, grams and millilitres as well as the celsius scale. The ingredients have all been checked against online supermarkets such as Asda and Tesco, all proved to be available. Since the device is so versatile BUT is just one device, recipes are split between main courses, main course components, side dishes, soups and desserts, meaning that access to a kitchen is required for many of the recipes. The Author assumes that the user has access to basic kitchen equipment, such as a refrigerator, a sieve or colander, sharp knives, a stove, a baking tin, a frying pan and saucepans, although many of the recipes do not require any further equipment. Many of the recipes found within will be more familiar to the user of this cookbook, but they have been tweaked or reimagined so that they fit to the Ninja Foodi 7-in1 multi-cooker and many recipes will be completely new. Many recipes also include full colour photographs. An index of ingredients is also at the end of the book, making it easier to locate recipes based on what''s in your refrigerator. Please note that this version of the book has only black and white photographs. The full-colour version of the book is also available.
