This book is about the three common words we normally say, their meaning and their impacts in our daily lives. Many Christians use the word faith often but only few truly have it. This book will teach you more about faith, the application, importance and how we can apply it in our daily lives. As human beings we need faith to help us stay strong in stormy times. Another important topic discussed in this book is "love". In our world today, love is the most common word used. We use it mostly on daily basis; we understand and define it in so many ways but only few know the true meaning of it. I have seen many occasions where a guy will meet a girl for the first time and start prophesying how much love he has for the girl. Some people believe in love at first sight, I'm not against it, I know something will get you attracted from somebody before you can make a move, but that atraction doesn't mean you love the person, is only being close with someone that you will get to develop real love. Real love develops is not based on physical attraction. Another important word discussed is sex. Nobody in this life can tell me he/she has never heard of sex. Sex is everywhere. This book will teach you some things you have to know about sex; it is not something you haven't heard of, but teachings in biblical way.

Nothing much has changed at the Hidamari Apartments for some time: Miyako's her usual, wacky self; Sae's still writing novels; Hiro's worrying about her weight; and Yuno's still as thoughtful and adorable as ever! But believe it or not, time has been passing, and Yuno starts thinking about what the future holds for her, her friends, and her art as graduation looms ever closer. The immediate future of the Hidamari residents, however, involves two new first-year neighbors - the shy, polite Nazuna, and outspoken computer whiz Nori! Do these newbies have any idea what they're in for?!

Hidamari Apartments is really starting to feel like home as Yuno, Miyako, Hiro, and Sae grow closer and closer through their daily adventures at art school-like sketching excursions, celebrating the holidays, and exploring the Seven Mysteries of Yamabuki High-while Yuno searches for the confidence within herself to become a great artist.

Real life and growing up are bearing down fast upon the residents of the Hidamari apartments, but they're going to make time for one last summer together, full of fun in the sun! Amidst Yuno deciding on the topic of her self-assigned summer project and Sae and Hiro attending summer sessions to help focus their goals for life after high school, the girls will really have to go all out to make sure it's a summer they'll never forget!

The policeman and the bad guy... These two who fight like cats and dogs are handcuffed together and forced to live with one another! Unable to eat or pee alone, both their minds and bodies quickly become intimate!

With the innocent first-years Nazuna-chan and Nori-chan rounding out the quirky cast of residents at the Hidamari Apartments, every day is shaping up to be quite...erm, interesting! When Yuno manages to lose a battle with a toilet for her house key, her clumsiness leads to, among other things, a sleepover, which in turn becomes something of a habit. But with homesickness making the rounds through Hidamari, school trips for some residents resulting in others being left to their own wacky devices, and the pressures of college entrance exams looming, a girl like Yuno can use all the dedicated friends and fun sleepovers she can get! Grab a pillow and settle in for another sunny, heartwarming romp through Hidamari!
