Paul Byrd, currently a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, has played for multiple teams at the major league level -- and has found at times that playing major league baseball and living in America is not exactly the best recipe for someone who wants to walk with God. But Paul has come to believe that a dazzling career in large stadiums cannot satisfy the deepest longings of his heart -- that an honest relationship with God is the only thing that really matters and can last forever. In his new book, Free Byrd, Paul recounts his journey to authentic Christian spirituality and true masculinity in a brutally honest and inspiring narrative.

The new school year is rapidly approaching, and if you've had young children at home for the summer, it's likely they may have forgotten a fair bit of what they learned last year, and could benefit from a review or preview of basic skills in reading, writing, math and language arts. At the Potomac Adventist Book and Health Food Store you'll find a variety of home workbooks for grades Pre-K to 4th grade that can help make the transition into a new grade easier for your child. From all-in-one books such as 1st Grade Activities to more specific topics like 3rd grade word problems or 1st grade reading comprehension, you can zero in on specific areas with your children, and make a huge difference in their confidence level as they enter this new year!

The workbooks we feature are primarily from Carson Dellosa Publishing and Frank Schaffer Publishing, and range from $2.99 to $3.49... over 80 titles available for grades Pre-K to 4, covering multiple topics from vocabulary development, handwriting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, word problems, puzzles & games, reading comprehension, and more!

As many as one in 80 American children may now be allergic to peanuts -- many of them deadly allergic -- which has caused many schools and daycares to ban the beloved peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich. SunGold Foods has introduced a solution that kids and adults both love: SunGold SunButter. Made without peanuts, you won’t believe how good it tastes! It has the same smooth, creamy texture with that fresh-roasted, nutty flavor—just without the peanuts! It is made from sunflowers in a peanut and tree nut-free facility on equipment that has never processed peanuts or tree nuts. And, it is made in the northern region of the country where peanuts can’t even grow—further reducing the risk of cross-contamination. As a final check, every batch is tested for the presence of peanuts using the Neogen ALERT test which can detect peanut contamination at 5 parts per million.

How does it rate? Well, in a recent independent study, more than 66% of 5-12 year-olds rated SunButter higher than peanut butter! And in a taste test of 1,477 school service directors and staff, an impressive 95.3% liked it! And, it’s as versatile as peanut butter, making it easy to substitute in recipes calling for peanut butter.
 
So if you’re looking for an alternative to peanut butter, and want one you can be certain has absolutely no peanut or tree-nut contamination, stop by for  Sunbutter. And-I almost forgot to mention, it comes in several varieties – creamy, crunchy, and organic.
