I’ve never been into Yoga, mostly because of it’s association with meditation and Eastern religion. But, I was curious when I cam across Holy Yoga and, having heard the many benefits of yoga, I decided it was worth checking out. I must admit, I’m glad I did.

The book is filled with information about yoga. It begins with a “What is Yoga” section and then follows a series of chapters which help the reader learn the yoga positions and how to do them correctly - it even includes illustrations. The best part, though, is the DVD that accompanies the book. It’s a 50-minute instructional DVD that includes various yoga routines. Each segment begins with a reading from Scripture and ends in prayer.

I truly enjoyed learning about yoga in a God-centered environment. Boon also has at least one other DVD (Level 2) and readers can learn more about Holy Yoga or becoming a Holy Yoga Instructor at her website, http://www.holyyoga.net.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I received Janet Nusbaum’s “Mom, Can I Help Around the House?” chore system. With a 6 year old and 3 year old I wasn’t convinced that I could really make the system work. It seemed like a good idea for other families, but I wondered if I could be successful with it as well.

"My kids loved these from the moment we
opened the package. I can feel good about my kids
playing with them and learning Scripture at the
same time! I was surprised and pleased that there
were so many different types of products available
and was able to pass some on to neighbors who
do not attend church. Hopefully these activities
will entertain them and speak to their heart as
well." - Jill, CWAHM.com
