Tuesdays Treasure - Jesus Tree

 Welcome to Tuesdays Treasures.  I started these posts as a way of sharing great books in honour of my friend in New Zealand who would arrive with the treasures she had unearthed at her weekly trip to the library!

There are so many wonderful books out there hiding on shelves so I invite you to blog about a book on your shelf, one you're reading or one you found at the library and add your post to Learning All the Time Favourite Resource Link Up. 



This week ...

Jesus Tree

Have you seen: Kill it, Cut it, Use it

   In one word EXCELLENT. I found these programs by accident one evening when I was channel surfing and looking for something better to watch.  The series title is: Kill it, Cut it, Use it and is presented by the BBC.

Image from BBC site.

As you can see from this image each episode takes you from live animal to all the different uses that that animal is used for.  If you don't want to see an animal die skip the first 4 min but watch the rest.  It's a behind the scenes educational tour.
In the Cow episode there were five segments: Making coat Buttons, Tennis strings, Fine Bone China, Luxury Leather interiors and Fire Fighting Foam.

The first series had a look at: The Cow, The Sheep, Fish and The Pig.

I hope the BBC produce this series on DVD I would love to purchase it.  

Some partial episodes on YouTube

• Making Face Cream From Sheep's Wool - Kill It, Cut It, Use It - BBC Three 
• From Cow To Car Seat - Kill It, Cut It, Use It - BBC Three 
• Whale Puke: The Perfect Perfume Ingredient - Kill It, Cut It, Use It - Episode 4 - BBC Three
• How fish leather is produced (more fish leather sneakers) 'kill it cut it use it'

These episodes are not full episodes but rather a sneak peak to each episode.

Read More Here:

• The unusual uses for animal body parts
• Kill it, Cut it, Use it Episodes.

So if it comes onto a TV channel for you set aside time to watch it.  We only saw three of the episodes (cow, fish and sheep) and they were excellent.

What are your favourite science shows ?

3/52 Joshua - God's Warrior

I am playing catch up on my 52 Books in 52 Weeks challenge
 
This is book three for the year

Joshua - God's Warrior 

by Ellen Gunderson Traylor.

• Format: Paperback
• Number of Pages: 288
• Publishers: Harvest House Publishers
• Publication Date: 1994
• ISBN: 1-56507-250-2
• Author Ellen Gunderson Traylor

This is the sequel to Moses The Deliverer and carries on where Moses ended. Walk with Joshua as he walks with Moses for forty years and God trains him to be a mighty warrior. I enjoyed the story and insights that Ellen brings to the person of Joshua. The story moves a lot slower than Moses but over all is still an enjoyable read.

Ellen says in her note to the reader: This is the story not only of God's working through prophecy, but of his special ordination of a military general. It reveals the demanding character of Yahweh, as well as his fatherhood, as he prepares Israel for its inheritance. ... it is also a story of one man's personal journey.

Enjoy
Blessings
