It used to be you needed a crystal, a psychic, or a Oijia board to make contact with the spirit world. So who would think science would make it possible for just about anyone to experience a ghostly connection? Cameras, recorders, computers, magnetic field readers and other scientific means are now the tools of the trade. But there’s so much available, how does the average teen weed through it all to create the best possible ghost hunting team? Here to help sort it all out are three of today’s leading investigators of the field.


Together, Patrick Burns, Dave Schrader, and Marley Gibson have more than ten years of experience. They’ve put together this guide to impart their knowledge and wisdom on to the next generation of ghost hunters.


What’s included:

How to set up a ghost hunting team
The equipment needed and how to use it
Where to look for spirits
Safety, safety, and more safety


Ghost hunting is equal parts science and belief. Patrick, Dave, and Marley are here to help with science part.

Introducing The Adventures Of Linko


For Children Ages 3 to 6.
Linko is a friendly character. He never gives any one any trouble except when he bumbles, stumbles, trips or tumbles.
He tends to day dream and fantasize.
His arch nemesis is Mr. Mean. Mr. Mean is your typical bad guy.
He might have the law on his side, but he uses it to try to make life miserable for characters like Linko.
Linko doesn't really have any magic bags of tricks, or any super powers. He seems to stumble into solutions accidentally rather than by brute force.
Even though he doesn't have any real super powers, there are things he can do by virtue of being a cartoon character.
Things like:
- breathing and talking under water
- bringing his dreams to life
- knowing a lot of short cuts that get him places unusually fast
He wants to be friends with all children and make them smile.

With each adventure Linko will find another problem or set of problems to try to solve and they won't be solved in a way that problems are normally solved.
Being a cartoon has it's advantages.
With humor and good nature, Linko tries to be an example for young kids.
There will always be a Mr. Mean around in life and there can be many of them.
But, there is only one Linko.
The stories are simple and visually centered.
Get Linko books for your child and you will be getting your child to smile.

All About Me: A Precious Gift From God is a fill-in-the-blanks book for 2 to 4 year olds. The text describes how we were fearfully and wonderfully made by God. Blank spaces allow the book to be personalized. Older children will enjoy interacting with parents, grandparents or guardians as they discuss choices to fill in the blanks. Scripture references reinforce God's word about how and why He made us a certain way.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:13-16 (NIV).

Two heartwarming stories that parents can read to children.

Story 1: Bobby and I are brothers. I thought of all the things he and I did when we were young. He loved being outdoors searching for all manner of bugs, snakes, lizards, and birds. When he was nine and I was twelve, we shared our most precious moments with each other. This is a heartwarming tale. Read about the baby blue jay he found. Find out what he used for a night light. Meet his mouse that became his friend, and who braved the ocean.

Story 2: We, my wife, and I babysat Emily, granddaughter one night. She was four years old. Her parents did not have an electric dishwasher in their apartment. She’d been to our home many times, however, she had never seen the dishwasher in action. How does a grandfather relate to a young child about the inner workings of an electric dishwasher. This is Emily's story of discovery.
