Look Inside the Book or Listen on Audible*

Huguenot Garden is a children's story of the daily and adventurous episodes in the lives of Rene and Albret Martineau, young twin sisters in a seventeeth-century, French Protestant family. This entertaining but moving story follows the twins and the rest of the Martineau family as they work, worship, commune, and suffer persecution together. This short novel by Douglas Jones aims to portray the ideas and historical details common to Huguenot life in La Rochelle, France, 1685, a tragic year whose final quarter brought the full wrath of Louis XIV.

What People Are Saying:

Winner of the C.S. Lewis Noteworthy Book Award, 1995

"Rich with details from the calamitous days of the Reformation in seventeenth-century France, the story opens our eyes to the personal passions and the human sacrifices that were necessary to enliven the principles of liberty.... Read this inspiring story aloud to your children. Then, read it again by yourself." -George Grant, World magazine

"The book serves as a gentle, kid-level introduction for children to the ungentle theme of persecution, which could have been quite a fearful subject, but does so without scaring them, being neither sugar-coated nor too graphically horrific. The author has chosen to underscore God’s faithfulness rather than the tyranny of men." -Homeschool Book Review

Douglas Jones was the senior editor Credenda/Agenda magazine and a fellow of philosophy at New St. Andrews College, Moscow, Idaho. He is also author of the children's books Scottish Seas and Dutch Color.

Like booze and tobacco
This stuff smells amazing while you're washing with it. It smells like I'd expect an old shop made of nothing but wood logs would smell like if they sold bourbon and tobacco. Unfortunately, once you're out of the shower the scent more or less fades, but that might just be because you become scent blind to it. I'd say if you just want to enjoy a really nice scent with these kinds of notes while you shower, then it's worth trying.

Sexy Masculine Fragrance
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this masculine scent. I saw it in a store, opened the lid to sniff it and decided this was DEFINITELY something I would enjoy on my husband, so I bought it for my him. He likes the body wash and I LOVE the way he smells. For years, he used Coast Original soap and his female co-workers frequently remarked when he passed by them how he always smelled so fresh (he did smell good!). However, since Monsieur Houbigant MUSK FOR MEN cologne I have not found a male fragrance I liked as much as that one. Houbigant went bankrupt, Dana took over the fragrance and it never smelled as good as the original. In years since, I have not found a male fragrance I liked as much as Distillers Blend Body Wash. I haven't seen it in stores yet, but I now see it also comes in a cologne. Some descriptions online call it a Unisex Fragrance but to me it is definitely MALE and the body wash was sold in the male toiletries in stores. If I detected it on a woman, I would have thought it came off while being close to her husband. I am going to buy the cologne for my husband next. And the Amazon price for 3 bottles is very good, much less per bottle than in the stores. I highly recommend it!!!! ENJOY!!!

A great guide to learn how to learn how our Father wants us to be raising our kids.
Format: Audiobook
Wonderful read it really helped put in perspective how we can have grace with our kids and ourselves. Not everyone was raised this way and it is so nice to find and learn how we can unlearn some of those "bad" habits and refrigerator our minds so that we have a stronger relationship and more respectful relationship with our kids and the Father.

Pleasantly surprised by the humor and practical exercises
Format: Kindle
Ok, so generally, I hate parenting books. I've read at least 5 well known Christian parenting books, and I'm usually either bored to tears with impractical theories that don't really work with my three strong-willed boys, or angry at the over-simplified anecdotes that also don't work with my kids. It feels like most parenting books are written by men who have fully-grown children and I struggle to relate. I've gleaned a few techniques here and there that have been helpful, but left mostly dissatisfied. I have to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by this one! I appreciate that it's written by a fellow mom who is not too far down the parenting road that she's forgotten how hard it is. And she is funny! The embarrassing story she shares about her daughter's first birthday party literally had me laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face. That alone was worth the book for me. I'm only about halfway through right now, but it's been such a refreshing book. I love the practical ideas for sorting family rules/values, and evaluating infractions, misdemeanors and felonies. The suggested activities are practical and not overwhelming. I find myself wanting to discuss it with my husband to try some different ideas already. That is a win! And ultimately the gospel-centered approach of what it looks like to parent our children the way God parents us - with a balanced grace - is what I want to be doing.

The perfect parenting book for the perfect time!
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the book a lot! I laughed and I cried, then I laughed some more. The way you wrote the book is how I would write something like this. I really appreciated how you described your real life circumstances, most I can relate to… i.e. don’t open another cereal box till the current one is empty, how you threw together Riley’s birthday party but said all-well and let God lead, and how you are a visual learner and your husband lives on an Excel sheet. LOL, so funny! I really loved how you put humor into what can be an exhausting task of parenting, we need the laugh. On a serious note, it was great that you started w/ the idea of your own heart check before you disciple your children and that the idea is to always discipline in our kids’ best interests. I also loved learning to “protect our kids LESS so we can PREPARE them more.” Our son is in 6th grade this year and boy is that an eye opener and true statement for him. Having good boundaries (rules), decipher each violation, what are his motives, and the consequences (and specific listed ones) were amazing and a huge confirmation for me as we’ve started into the pre-teen years. Thank you so much for a God-led book on parenting when it’s the hardest but most rewarding thing a person can ever do.
