Book excerpt: The Memory Tree recounts some actual events from Christmas 2007. The storyline, told in first person through the eyes of a toddler, features young Calvin, who delights in riding in Dad's pickup truck to Big Jim's Farm in search of two trees, a tall one for the house and a short one to be planted in the back yard, called a memory tree. As a toddler, he is quite the humorous helper, and together, Calvin and Dad transform this Christmas, because of a memory tree, into a tradition they will recapture for years to come. Reviews from Pfizer Kids, New London, Connecticut The Memory Tree was a great way to truly invite the reader to imagine what your holiday traditions with Calvin are. A nice traditional family story-Sue LaBella, Program Coordinator I loved the concept of this story. I found that, as a toddler teacher, I particularly enjoyed the flow of rhyming lines. I also found myself wanting more details about the 'memory' surrounding the act of tending to the small tree-Hope Wread, Toddler Lead Teacher FRED NEFF is writing a children's book series from real life fatherhood experiences with his toddler son, Calvin. The Memory Tree is the first in the series. "Stories told in rhyme seem to captivate children with an expectation of the next line. They love the repetition of being read to-especially in rhyme. The Calvin and Dad series, lets me explore a child's view of these important times with Dad." "I hope Calvin and Dad stories inspire dads everywhere to invest more time doing simple things in life with their kids (or any kids for that matter) to draw out the extraordinary love that children are just waiting to give in return for Dad's time. This is what creates precious moments and wonderful memories. I try to bring to you, the reader, and the listener, the joys of fatherhood-with a twist-as seen through the eyes of a toddler."

Download or read book John Calvin s American Legacy written by Thomas Davis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though his influence on American society has often been forgotten or misunderstood, John Calvin played a formative role in the traditions of almost every sector of American life. This wide-ranging study, comprising twelve essays, shows for the first time the extraordinary extent to which Calvinist thoughts and practices are woven into the fabric of American society, theology, and letters, from the colonial period to the twenty-first century. John Calvin's American Legacy examines the economics of the Colonial period, Calvin's effect on American identity, and the evidence for Calvin's influence on American democracy. The book next addresses Calvin's critical role in American theology, inspecting the relationship between Jonathan Edwards's and Calvin's church practices, the diverse views on the Calvinist theological tradition in the nineteenth century, the ways in which Calvin was understood in the historiography of Williston Walker and Perry Miller, and Calvin's influence on twentieth-century theologies. Finally, the book explores Calvinism's influence on American literature, examining the work of such writers as Samson Occom, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Max Weber, Mark Twain, John Updike, and Marilynne Robinson. This important book is the first to introduces readers to the breadth and depth of Calvin's influence along the spectrum of American thought and society, from the 18th century to modern times.
