The Golden Rule for You and Me

About this book

This Golden Rule book is also available separately as a book for children-without the added guidance for adult readers. "This picture book gives readers a special look into the lives of the lemurs of Madagascar. Dr. Anding demonstrates that we can look to the lemurs' peaceful and agape way of living to learn more about the importance of the Golden Rule. She aptly describes the wandering spirit of these beloved creatures while giving young readers insight into their natural habitat and daily way of life. A sound addition for those wanting to expand their collections to feature selections on exotic animals or the daily routine of exotic animals abroad." - Dr. LaKeshia Darden, Curriculum Materials/Media Librarian, Campbell University Many parents and grandparents are seeking guidance and ideas on how to help their children understand and incorporate the Golden Rule into their daily lives. It's about our treatment in words and deeds of our family members, friends, neighbors-and strangers, regardless of their age or sex, position in life, color or creed. This age-old saying still is very relevant today: Do unto others... . The Golden Rule in the Bible teaches us the importance of treating others as we want to be treated. This rule helps children become more aware of others' feelings and, consequently, to do their best to not hurt them. Rewards gained from applying the Golden Rule are so great that we become magnets that attract goodwill and friendship from others. The Golden Rule is a great starting point; however, later as these children grow, they may find that it is wiser to incorporate some aspects of the Platinum Rule. This will be one of the many decisions that will confront them-and they might need your guidance and insights. This book is dedicated to my great-grandson Denver as a guide for his life.
