Natural Enemies relates the misadventures of Tom, an idealistic young man who spends his life savings to invest in a dilapidated apartment building. Tensions rapidly develop between the hapless, naive landlord and his entrenched, entitled tenants. Painting a vivid picture of life in Hoboken, New Jersey in the 1980's, the book is laugh-out-loud funny and refreshingly NOT politically correct. A work of fiction, Natural Enemies is based on the author's experience as a landlord. T. Weed is Dale Walker's pen name. Walker also wrote Fool's Paradise, a travelogue about Saudi Arabia, which was short-listed for the Pulitzer Prize. Natural Enemies is a must-read for landlords, people considering buying an apartment building, and anyone tempted to take desperate measures to save an investment gone south.

As more and more early childhood programs implement response to intervention, the Individual Growth and Development Indicators (IGDIs) will be the tool of choice for fast, reliable, and ongoing progress monitoring. That's why every program needs this book, the only quick guide to conducting the popular IGDIs accurately and efficiently. Bringing complete information on the IGDIs together in one convenient, expertly organized volume, this book gives early childhood professionals specific, in-depth guidance on understanding and using all five of the IGDI tools: communication, cognitive problem solving, early movement, social development, and parent-child interaction. This book also helps early childhood professionals deepen their knowledge of child development in each of the five critical areas the IGDIs cover. They'll get concise, research-based summaries of what we know about how children develop skills in each area, how those skills affect broader child outcomes, and how the IGDI tools were custom-developed to screen each area effectively and detect small increments of progress. A must for all infant-toddler and preschool specialists, this book will be in constant use in Early Head Start and Part C programs across the country. Professionals will keep this one-and-only guide to IGDI administration close at hand as they track progress, target interventions, and ensure measurable improvements in child outcomes.

Worship? Check. Compassion? Check. Are worship and compassion two separate experiences in your life's journey? In his book Kissing the Face of God, Dale Walker writes of the extraordinary things God does "when we live a life of compassion given as an expression of worship." Using abundant and engaging examples from his own life and others', Walker shows in a practical way how acts of compassion flow out of true worship. We follow Walker as he ministers in a nursing home in New Mexico, at a "Kingdom party" for street people in Hong Kong, to a prostitute dying of HIV-AIDS in Zambia, and to orphans living in a cemetery in the Philippines. In this groundbreaking book, Walker guides us to look where Jesus is looking, demonstrating how to find His presence in the suffering and hurting ones - "the least of these" - through a worship that changes the world. "Kissing the Face of God has literally changed my concept of what worship is and the unexpectedly powerful ways God can flow through it A must-read for every worship leader, missionary, and pastor." - Tommy Walker, Worship Leader for Christian Assembly, Los Angeles "...reading this book will be a defining moment." - Delane Bailey-Herd, Project Manager, Food for the Poor, Haiti A full-time pastor for thirty-three years, Dale Walker is senior pastor of Heart for the World Church in Las Cruces, New Mexico. He and his wife Sharon founded Heart for the World Ministries, a missions organization through which they give their very best to those who have the very least. They have six children and eight grandchildren. You can listen to Dale's sermons at www.hftwchurch.org.
