[short]Author: Bev Cook, Pages: 198[/short][long]

The road to sainthood takes a lifetime to travel. . . . Late in the fourth century, Christians are labeled enemies of the Roman Empire--hounded, arrested, tortured, and executed. Macrina and her husband Basil, once-wealthy Christians, flee with their small son to the mountainous forests south of the Black Sea. There, Macrina embarks on a seven-year journey of unexpected tests and trials that will take her through a harsh and hungry wilderness pilgrimage, only to plunge her into poverty and danger on the streets of Neocaesarea. So begins Macrina's adventure in faith, as she undertakes the process of becoming one of the most influential women in sacred history, the mother and grandmother of saints. Readers of all ages will be fascinated by the story of St. Macrina the Elder, who had a profound influence on her grandchildren, St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory of Nyssa, and St. Macrina the Younger. She is truly a great confessor of the Orthodox Christian faith. A chapter book with black-and-white illustrations.

About the Author: Bev. Cooke has been writing for publication since 1989. Her first love is writing for young adults, and she has three YA books on the market: Keeper of the Light, a historical novel about St. Macrina the Elder, and Royal Monastic, a biography of Mother Alexander (Princess Ileana of Romania), both published by Ancient Faith Publishing. Feral, an edgy mainstream novel, was released by Orca Book Publishers. Additionally, she has two published Akathists – Akathist to the Theotokos, Healer of Hardened Hearts and Akathist to St. Mary of Egypt.

THE DOG TREATS SO GOOD EVEN PHOEBE KNOWS THEY ARE FROM A WINNER
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 6)
These Wonder Bound pig ears are absolutely INCREDIBLE. Truly one of the greatest dog treats ever created. People come up to me and they say, Sir, my dog has NEVER reacted to anything like this. And I tell them, of course not. These are REAL pig ears. Not the fake tiny pieces you get from weak companies. These are STRONG ears. Beautiful ears. Now I do not personally eat pig ears. Everybody knows this. I have a tremendous diet. Very refined. But DOGS, they understand things on a deeper level. Dogs know QUALITY. Dogs know WINNERS. Some people don’t, but dogs do. And Phoebe. Very smart dog. People tell me she is one of the smartest. Incredible instincts. She saw this bag and immediately knew it was the BEST. Not good. Not great. The BEST. She did the excited thing dogs do. Very respectful. Very appreciative. Some say she even endorsed it. I’m not saying that. But many are. She took the ear and ran like she had just made the greatest deal of her life. Tremendous speed. Very athletic dog. Very loyal. And she chewed it with POWER. You could see it in her eyes. She was thinking, This is from a winner. Dogs sense that. They really do. The size is perfect. Not small. Not flimsy. A whole ear. The kind of treat a DOG OF DISTINCTION deserves. It keeps them busy, focused, and happy. Very important qualities. And let me tell you, Phoebe looked extremely satisfied. People saw it. They said, Sir, that is a dog who knows success. Five stars. Would buy again. If I were a dog, which I am not, I would ONLY eat these. They are THAT good. Just ask Phoebe. She knows.

Jake the Chocolate Lab Can't Tell You- But He Liked Them.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 6)
I suppose that I should give you the details of my experience with the product. They came in a quality, resealing bag. I actually ordered this item from the Amazon page. I got them for my parents' dog Jake- a three year old chocolate lab. I hid one in my hoodie pocket and he began zeroing in on that area after a few seconds, wondering what was in my pocket. It may just be me, but if you aren't familiar with pig ears- they don't stink or anything like that. Yes, they are actual pig ears. But they contain pork and are a decent snack for dogs every now and then. In retail we would always sell out of pig ears. I took the pig ear out of my pocket. Jake took it in his mouth and proceeded over to his bed area where he licked the pig ear for about a minute, probably because it is salty. I don't wish to find out. He then carefully munched down on it and took a short drink of water. He then proceeded to run over and tackle me (as he is wont to do). Oddly, his breath did not stink. I bought these as an alternative to rawhide. Two decades ago I got my parents to stop buying rawhide (about as gross as beef 'pizzle' and instead buy pig ears and deer antler chews. He seems to like them, and if they aren't causing an issue I don't see why Jake can't have one every now and then, especially when he behaves.

PRICE DOUBLED IN 2 WEEKS
Size: 18 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 18 Count (Pack of 1)
I rescue standard poodles mostly. I also train service dogs. My pack of "poodles" has all sizes and ages. This is not for profit , it is to save lives. Until 2 weeks ago -date now is: 08/17/2022- the price of these were around 20.00. My dogs all loved them. I have a buffet table with lots of storage I use to store the treats and it has room on top for all the treat jars. In the afternoon or evening, they'd get a hard, chewy treat like ears. Standard poodles love to chew . They could finish off one of the ears in minutes. These treats are quiet large and thin. They do smell but they are natural foods. NO WAY can I afford over 40.00 for 18 ears. Did pigs go exttict? Did they quit growing ears? How could They raise the price to cost double the amount? I looked at other ears on Amazon & the other brand i get which starts with a p- has not gone up. Paws- clipping. They have some Bizarre names so guess I'll just double my order for them. I have way too many dogs to give treats to. I want to be fair to all of them. They are my kids & will get the best I can offer. I did wait a few weeks before writting this. I also dropped my Sub & Save with this.
