My toddler Bible

This book has already become a favorite Sunday read for a little   beautiful curly bond three year old and her handsome 1 year old brother.  It is so cute to see them head of to church  taking turns to bring the special book with them.  lots of bright pages to engage  your children.   This wonderful collection of short Bible stories is a great way to begin teaching the scriptures.  When I first  gave this book to the children, the 3 year  took it to bed with her and ran to get the following day for church! Beautiful pictures and well-written for toddlers, preschool and kindergarten little ones..

Thanks Kregel for the book to review.

Hymnbooks and Hanky Cradles, Nora and Phoebe, Plain Fun Girls

  A story about two girls  and the life they live.  This story is based on a true story of the lives of two cousins. Nora and Phoebe are best friends and do everything together.  This is an old fashioned story .  I let  my sisters read it and the  9 year old got board of it but the 13 year old thought it  was pretty good.  Learn lessons in this story; how to turn unlikable chores into play and fun. This  small short chapter book is set in the 1900's before  cars and other  modern inventions.  Size: 5.5 x 8.5 inches, 180 pages  which is  the perfect  length for  a young 10_12 year old  to read or to be read out  loud by the mother to her  children or  an older sibling.

Thanks Olive Press for the free book to review

Miracle of Israel: The Shocking, Untold Story of God’s Love for His People by Gary Frazier & Jim Fletcher



 

 

What can I say about a book that brings you to tears at the magnitude of God's wondrous love for his people Miracle of Israel: The Shocking, Untold Story of God’s Love for His People by Gary Frazier & Jim Fletcher  starts out with an amazing story of how God saved the Israel army today , not just in Bible past.  A  must read as one needs to know that God does indeed still do miracles.  This is the history of he Jews, much we already know but  then there are so many modern  uplifting stories that  we probably have over looked. How often do e follow Israel's wars.  We should to be amazed at our God. The author  points all the Glory to God.  This is an out standing   book that pastors will want to read.  It opens your eyes to understanding this small country better. The history of the Bible which we have read a million times come alive!  I encourage you to read this book as it is  not too long so you will not be board- in fact you will want it to continue.

I am not sure I agree with all the doctrine but again I am not an expert on  this subject,  I will do a little  more studying,

Scotland

Interesting  yet disappointing  because it leaves you wanting book two in this Scottish series.  A little to long but some of the characters were enchanting.   Get a free sample at https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=AwE_CgAAQBAJ&source=productsearch&utm_source=HA_Desktop_US&utm_medium=SEM&utm_campaign=PLA&pcampaignid=MKTAD0930BO1&gl=US&gclid=COCm5fHb-MsCFYVCMgod3GoOOg&gclsrc=ds

The style of  writing was good.  writing style is quite good and engaging. Almost too engaging at times! This book was hard to put down; easy to follow and captivating. I will most certainly  read all the books in the series when they come out. I want to follow the family history.  A will sent to a girl outside of Scotland. How does this settle with the clan.  find out.

 I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. Thanks!

Baseball

I got this book not because I am a fan of baseball  but because it brigs  me back to  some fond memories.  Also  wanted to learn about Art! this book is full of pictures!! It was fun to follow his life story.  and there were some really funny episodes  especially about his brothers and  mother. Interesting perspective on how God can use this sport to teach us abut  him  in his word.  Funny how the Bible can be looked at in many different lights.  I hope you are on God's base ball team.  Learn about God's love in this book and how he broke Art to use  him for his glory. 

Side  note I don't agree with all the doctrine but you make the call.
