    “What’s this you’re writing?” asked Pooh, climbing onto the writing table. 
    “The Tao of Pooh,” I replied. 
    “The how of Pooh?” asked Pooh, smudging one of the words I had just written. 
    “The Tao of Pooh,” I replied, poking his paw away with my pencil. 
    “It seems more like ow! of Pooh,” said Pooh, rubbing his paw. 
    “Well, it’s not,” I replied huffily. 
    “What’s it about?” asked Pooh, leaning forward and smearing another word. 
    “It’s about how to stay happy and calm under all circumstances!” I yelled. 
    “Have you read it?” asked Pooh... 
     
    Author Benjamin Hoff shows that the philosophy of Winnie-the-Pooh is amazingly consistent with the principles of Taoism and demonstrates how you can use these principles in your daily life. 
     
    Is there such thing as a Western Taoist? Benjamin Hoff says there is, and this Taoist's favorite food is honey.

Romp through the enchanting world of Winnie-the-Pooh while soaking up invaluable lessons on simplicity and natural living. 
     
    While Eeyore frets and Piglet hesitates and Rabbit calculates and Owl pontificates, Pooh just is. And that's the clue to the secret wisdom of the Taoists. 
     
    The Tao of Pooh is an international bestseller and the first Taoist-authored book in history to appear on bestseller lists, it remained on The New York Times’ bestseller list for 49 weeks.

    Winner of the ECPA Book of the Year Award for Christian LivingOver 100,000 Copies in PrintWhat is your calling as a parent? In the midst of folding laundry, coordinating carpool schedules, and breaking up fights, many parents get lost. Feeling pressure to do everything “right” and raise up “good” children, it’s easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas.  In this life-giving book, Paul Tripp offers parents much more than a to-do list. Instead, he presents us with a big-picture view of God’s plan for us as parents. Outlining fourteen foundational principles centered on the gospel, he shows that we need more than the latest parenting strategy or list of techniques. Rather, we need the rescuing grace of God―grace that has the power to shape how we view everything we do as parents.  Freed from the burden of trying to manufacture life-change in our children’s hearts, we can embrace a grand perspective of parenting overflowing with vision, purpose, and joy.
