It can be a wonderful pet, but then suddenly turn and bite off the owner's hand or attack an innocent neighbor or child. We need to keep it on a leash and use a muzzle. The leash and muzzle must always be on the government, never on the people, never vice versa. — John Gile,

The JGC/United Publishing Philosophy: It takes a tree to produce a book. If we are going to use a tree to produce a book, the book must be of at least as much value to the human race as the tree was when it stood in place. In other words, we don't believe in publishing for the sake of publishing. Lasting impact in readers' lives is our goal. (Editor's Note: Our book The First Forest has been instrumental in thousands of tree plantings in North America and in China.)

"The First Forest is a little allegorical tale with a message as big as the world. Dealing with the gigantic issues of greed and selfishness, it delivers a potent punch. But — couched in simply phrased rhyming verse — it also tugs at your heart. It so obviously is a labor of love." — L. Carlson, Review "This light-hearted story with action-packed illustrations hits bull's eye on a glaring national need — motivating children to read. Oh, How I Wished I Could Read! produces laughs and gasps that make its "reading is vital" message a child-pleasing joy. Highly acclaimed and a national bestseller, it's a perfect book for fun-loving parents and high spirited teachers who laugh with their children and use humor to teach. Oh, How I Wished I Could Read! is used extensively in schools and even in adult literacy programs with its companion book What Is That Thing? Whose Stuff Is This? to foster reading development." —Publishing Profile "What Is That Thing? Whose Stuff Is This? is fun to read. The drawings are clever. But what makes the book so special is that it's a manifesto for literacy... An understanding of words and an ability to use words is one of the greatest gifts that a parent can give a child."
— J. Snively, Review		 "Keeping First Things First was exactly what I needed to help me work through some very rough personal times. As a new mother,I made the same mistake that most Type-A personalities make. I tried to be 'Super Mom.' I physically and emotionally wore myself down and eventually just collapsed... Your insights are absolutely incredible and I can't tell you how much they have helped me."— C.M.

• Book discussion group questions		 Goodbye, Geraldine by Bob Morgan is the true story of a family surviving through tough times and against overwhelming odds. The author and his abandoned siblings are taken in by Grams, the original single-mom in the epitome of single-parent homes. It is the story of a family surviving the ravages of poverty, the fears of war, and the calamity of alcoholism. Goodbye, Geraldine is a true story of hope and of love conquering all. Failure Is Not An Option is a refreshing antidote for the blame game so many communities play when they face reading failure. Parents blame educators and educators blame parents, while politicians blame both and both blame the politicians. Author and reading specialist Edna Goble ignores all that, tells us all students can learn to read, though not all students learn to read using the same technique, then goes out and proves it. Accepted and recommended for direct and supplementary classroom use by teachers in language arts, graphic arts, conflict resolution, peace and environmental issue discussions, multicultural awareness, well founded self-esteem, school musical productions, and as a prime example of pourquoi literature.

  Today's children are growing up in a world with values very different from those most adults knew as children. Many freedoms we enjoyed just a few years ago are being lost to restrictions and precautions required to safeguard ourselves and our children from human predators. Many shrug and say, "We can't do anything about it." At The Crossroads: A Vision Of Hope reminds us that we need not accept foul contaminants which corrupt our spirit any more than we need accept foul contaminants which choke and poison our bodies.   Never Vote For A Lawyer* is a citizen-action manifesto by an attorney and a journalist with divergent views but common goals: greater citizen control of government at all levels. Never Vote For A Lawyer* (ISBN: 0-910941-32-7) is by attorney Tony Lamia and journalist John Gile, with a foreword by former prosecutor and judge Paul Logli
