This devotional covers topics such as courage, challenges, disappointment, grief, peer pressure, bullying, fear, and friendship. The artwork and colors jump right off the page at you. Along with the beautiful illustrations, are amazing prayers and Bible verses that touch your family's heart. </p><p style="text-align: center;">This 192-page devotional is geared towards children in first and second grade, or children ages 6 to 10 years old. In my opinion, I think this devotional would be good for any age though. My sons are 10 and 12 years old, and they very much enjoyed snuggling with me on the couch to read this together.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.roarlikealionbook.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx0mvwmr9DtsHOciPzJ5cpOgLJKiisPl3cPZmPKiihboigWy353i2fq0oHhw7UJQK_rkg2xZyP3i_7udKK7HDR8Ibq8mLs03PfFrKXCvMG63Wqaj3bPOpyJPG6KKWgVwivmx9QMq2C6VBI/w213-h320/FLC00728.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">Roar Like A Lion has been such a blessing to me and my family.

His books can be trusted to be Biblically truthful, and my sons and I were so excited to be able to read Roar Like A Lion.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Anchors are hidden throughout the book. The author has a fun challenge where you can see how many anchors you can find as you read through the devotional with your family. You can also read about the significance of the anchor and what it means to the author and his family. I thought this was really cool. God has a way of touching people with symbols that give us reminders. What is a special symbol for you and your family?</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><u>About the Author</u></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.roarlikealionbook.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKFlOsl3cFVp3v8K3gMHT_sjRfKoVtiJGg5aPD0i2M2EfirXhEA6e7aaGcgJXNJd7-gO_dTmf9TOaqMCl2BAHYNY5UGNkqCxv_uHcZJiEfgQ9Qc98ouaj7Qjp1E27866c9tHYgLcZFEiD/w213-h320/TommyNelson_Levi+Lusko_Book+Headshot.jpg" width="213" /></a></b></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Levi Lusko is the founder and lead pastor of Fresh Life Church.

I think this is the most important part of a Bible, other than it being accurate and complete. The words Jesus spoke are important, and the red really just jumps off of the page when you are reading it. This Bible is visually appealing because of the beautiful font, photos, and color. As a visual learner, this Bible makes me just want to dive in and find out what the articles are about and how it can help me better understand the Bible. I also enjoy that it has charts, photos, notes, and maps to help my sons in their understanding of the Bible as well.</div></span><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: small; font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/blog/2020/03/journey-through-gods-word-with-a-knowledgeable-guide-halleys-study-bible/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2080" data-original-width="3110" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic3V6WhwaeBUHcA9fVKeBAd_46gmpttfVj7pQrdAJisHm0h0DQ4E2ozj-kuAX2604fL3m1p6M-XAxHRgy4IbBP_GoaYXYRxlbY45AjEImjUpmIrVcjfd-tbBLQTiMpJzxGDIE81co4MAQx/s320/20200913_115606.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">There is much history that went into making this Bible. A man named Henry Halley who had a passion for teaching the Bible, and encouraging others to read the Bible had a remarkable idea. In 1922, he made 20,000 copies of a 16 page pamphlet called <em style="background-color: white;">Suggestions Concerning Bible Study, </em><span style="background-color: white;">that gave out important information about the Bible</span><em style="background-color: white;">. </em><span style="background-color: white;">Eventually by 1960, his research turned into a 968 page book called</span><em style="background-color: white;"> </em><em style="background-color: white;">Halley’s Pocket Bible Handbook</em><span style="background-color: white;">. It now has over 6 million copies that have been sold, and it is available in multiple languages. This man's passion and research was combined with a <i>Zondervan</i> Bible, to make this exceptional Study Bible. This Bible is now my family's favorite Study Bible, and we would definitely recommend to everyone we know.</span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/blog/bloggergrid/#bg2-index-r" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNOOjSzyHXzoYuf3INO6IHgpfUqxsMatuKFQnWkGx4tV1G0wpYkpVRRx7zpqWtRZBnfUPNjkI3tv0vNftq8Tskz0eopl-m_gPxnygZD8DEtPCAVGw3Od-LHnku2ary4wMkJaf1pnVbQE7h/s0/BGBG_150_150.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Blessings,</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Kelly</span></div><p></p><p><b style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-small;">#BibleGatewayPartner</span></b></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/raisingsamuels</div>Raising Samuelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00404256988509645401noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3843154749043736906.post-88319362218573739232020-08-23T16:46:00.000-04:002020-08-23T16:46:23.493-04:00Take Back Your Life (Book Review)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Take-Back-Your-Life-Interactive/dp/0785232761/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="275" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcEMlWlIhg_uWShIrJMLYDqFuZxLjXweQrVCxOw1KtzQdK2kSs_CAbJHBh_ERHNTioP11n9_sMwhHadGUm4gPfYDhZTT_vsV2QgloMBnkedsp41vAQ2NBigbeEm8c-WB2EfMWto943qih8/s0/Take+Back+Your+Life_FINAL_CMYK.jpeg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"><i><b style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;">“<a href="http://raisingsamuels.blogspot.com/p/disclosure.html" target="_blank">Disclosure</a> (in accordance with the FTC’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising”): </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;">Many thanks to <a href="http://www.flybypromotions.com/" target="_blank">Propeller Consulting, LLC</a> and <a href="https://www.harpercollinschristian.com/" target="_blank">HCCP</a> for providing this prize for the giveaway and review.

Each chapter is about six to seven pages, so each daily devotional will take less than ten minutes to read. The chapters start with scripture, go through a message or lesson, and ends with a prayer and a section called Breathe, Think and Live.

Many times, we battle not only our external circumstances, but also our inner critic. We endure some painful moments in life, and sometimes that can make us doubt ourselves and our faith. This amazing devotional, reminds you that you are not only loved, but valued. It turns off all of those outside voices, and invites you to lean in on what God is saying about you. It reminds you of your worth as a child of God, and not a child of this world. This book is written with a biblical truth and perspective, but it is also full of humor, history, and cultural references such as <i>Baby Yoda </i>and family friendly movies we know and love. It is not a prosperity devotional. There are some hard truths brought to you in a loving way. The author does a fantastic job of writing this book as if he were writing it to a friend. I would highly recommend this devotional to everyone I know. </span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Take-Back-Your-Life-Interactive/dp/0785232761/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small; font-style: italic; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1175" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivLVjCt6bT9ucHU3GuG4l5mwv9GqtXwfOTIhL1jvbtJ3jquHwqsNgb_qJh95zIHCcg85z-J1D1sG24hCW5UDk3i5wWjxQYVGE1oFq2VlGsIuxsl9zrrJqXdkhPB2kPOvGTvz7S4eNMNorX/s640/20200823_151429.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228;">I was given an additional copy of this wonderful devotional to giveaway. I decided to giveaway this additional copy to my mother-in-law. Many of you don't know, but my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March of this year, right about when all of this pandemic hit the United States. My husband had surgery over the summer, and my mother-in-law dropped everything she was doing to come help take care of not only him and my two sons, but also me. I am so incredibly thankful for her and sacrifice, that I was excited to give her a copy of this book so we could read through it together. I have learned much from her. A mother's love never expires. We love you, Grandma!

My sons and I have been a huge fan of Glenys Nellist's books for years. There is always so much heart written into each book. This book is no exception. It is a book of the many different ways a Grandma shows her love. You meet the cutest animal Grandma's throughout the book, and how they interact with their grandchild to show them how much they love them. The very last page shows a human Grandma with her grandson, baking in the kitchen. My sons love to cook with their Grandma, and this page was very special to them. My mother-in-law is actually in town visiting, and her and the boys baked a cake together! </div><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/raisingsamuels/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj1wPKD6rUcLsiNHhbetInf9zOwSlSYZfzgBN8ZIM_gR8ikYzih353PMG9lI16_sOXWOdTmFL4OiQG0WrctohJlceKg-WWfhubcYvc2l-eVXjB1xyPY2izlzQpW-KG-cDetZgoHg4OzXmc/s320/IMG_20200726_171909_775.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This book would be a wonderful gift for any Grandma to enjoy with her grand babies. I think it would make a special gift to give at a baby shower for a Grandma-to-be, or even for a Christmas, Easter, birthday, or Mother's Day gift. Grandma's have so much love to give, and I think it would be thoughtful to give this book to show them how much they are loved and appreciated. It would even make a great gift for the grandchildren, and maybe could spark an idea to go on an adventure like one of the Grandma's in the story. The fun rhymes of the text of the story, and the beautiful illustrations make this a delight to be enjoyed by Grandma's and their grand kids. </div><h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bakerbookhouse.com/products/19266" target="_blank">Author Spotlight: Glenys Nellist</a></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEittRmWavxLfaVBvTsLHO6-Pcqs7WY6klacTIuiLF-Jotgjs5cqz0fAOXoC5fo1iOY08N4PJmstLtuecP39oqbgX9v02UcZ0D4YXMDEZjJkJQ2PHB1rFPoYGJIVuSBd_VUwR3JMUjPj0jLU/s320/glenys.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="https://bakerbookhouse.com/products/19266" border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEittRmWavxLfaVBvTsLHO6-Pcqs7WY6klacTIuiLF-Jotgjs5cqz0fAOXoC5fo1iOY08N4PJmstLtuecP39oqbgX9v02UcZ0D4YXMDEZjJkJQ2PHB1rFPoYGJIVuSBd_VUwR3JMUjPj0jLU/w205-h205/glenys.jpeg" width="205" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><h4 style="background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: museo-sans, sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Glenys Nellist was born and raised in a little village in northern England.

I was encouraged recently to write a story about nature, as part of a class I am taking. The only restriction on the assignment, was I only had six minutes to write it! I am sharing my story with you today, as well as how you can become a part of this class as well! The author is an amazing person, and is doing this class free so nothing here is being promoted or is a paid sponsorship. Just wanted to share what an awesome time I am having in this class! Details to follow after the story if you are interested in joining the class!<div><br /><div>"The Day It Rained"<span><a name='more'></a></span>It was October. As I was driving to my son's doctor's appointment, it began to rain. I couldn't remember the last time it had rained. It seemed to be unusually dry for that time of year. I remember passing the <i>Walmart </i>on my left, and we came to stop at a red light. It was just me and my three month old son in the car. We were headed to a checkup at the doctor, while Daddy was at work. Being a new mom, I felt time stop at that traffic light. I began to feel overwhelmed. <i>Was I doing things right? Was I measuring up to be the godly mother I promised the Lord I would be?</i> As I pondered all this in the possible six seconds at that traffic light, it began to rain. I heard a giggle from the backseat...and then another giggle. </div><div><br /></div><div>The rhythm of the rain began to match the giggles of a sweet, three month old little boy, entrusted to me by the Lord. His infectious giggle from the backseat changed the whole mood in our car, and in my heart. I realized this was the very first time my son had seen rain. He marveled at it, and ate up each last raindrop that fell on the back car window. In a way, I felt that the Lord was speaking to us both through that rain. The joy of the rain given to my son, somehow let me know I was doing a good job as his Mom. I felt that reassurance, that He was with us, always. At that moment, the traffic light turned green. I write this story and remember it like it was yesterday, even though my oldest son who I wrote this story about, will be eleven years old this year. I will forever remember his first vision of rain, and both the joy and relief it brought me.</div><span><!--more--></span><div>I hope you enjoyed my story! Our first assignment in class, was to write about an encounter with God. I remember I had wrote a short story about this about six years ago. You can click on the <a href="http://raisingsamuels.blogspot.com/2014/02/sarahs-first-memory-of-faith.html" target="_blank">link</a> if you would to read it!

This <a href="https://www.thunderbaybooks.com/books/harry-potter-crochet-9781684128877/">kit</a> has proven to be extra special to me and my family this year. My Dad went to visit at my brother's house for Thanksgiving, where for the first time in four years, all of his children and grandchildren were in one place. We were so blessed to all be together for the holiday. He came back home with me and my family, and visited with us for a few days as well. I was telling him about the kit, and even though the instruction booklet was very easy to understand, I unfortunately have not been blessed with the gift of sewing or crocheting. Luckily, my Step Mom is. My Dad took this kit home with him, so that my Step Mom could make my sons Harry Potter and Dobby for Christmas! I will be updating this post when they receive them for Christmas! </div>

I think this product is extraordinary. There is much love that went into to making it, and you can see it through the quality of the materials, as well as the guidance on how to make the dolls.

<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This movie could not have been more timely for me. In the movie, a basketball coach loses his team because of a plant shutdown in his hometown. The plant shutdown effects so many people in the town, and he ends up coaching a one person team for a sport he has never coached before. He meets an unexpected friend, and this friendship brings about many learning lessons for the coach, his athlete, his friend, his family, and his boss. The lessons are about identity, forgiveness, faith, love, prayer, and perspective. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really enjoyed how real and heartfelt this movie was. Each of the characters is easy to relate to, especially the coach. He gets down on his luck, which makes him almost forget all the many blessings that are around him. This movie does an excellent job of reminding us where our faith is, and Who we serve. There are exceptional learning points throughout this film, and I would highly recommend watching it if you havent' already! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; color: black; font-family: inherit;">Can you believe it is almost that yummy time of year, where we gather with friends and family and give thanks? This year has seemed to go by so fast. It seemed to go from sunny and hot days, right into these darker and colder days where I live. I believe Autumn arrived here for maybe a week, but we have been in cold! (Well, cold for the South that is!) This time of year, always seems to have me and my family inside more. This causes us to have fun movie nights and snuggling, but we also enjoy reading and drinking a hot cup of tea or cocoa. </span></div>

This book has amazing illustrations from the talent behind <i>Madagascar, Hotel Transylvania,</i> and <i>Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.</i> The illustrations are fun and silly, and extremely colorful. The characters almost seem to want to leap right out of the book. My sons and I really enjoyed how these fun characters, also brought the words with them to life. </span></span></span></span></div>

It also includes an index at the back of the book, as well as a section called Word cartoons. If you have a QR scanner on your phone, there are QR codes in this section that bring you to a link to open a fun, short cartoon describing that word. Each word contains a short, easy to remember definition and an illustration to show that word. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #b6d7a8; color: black;">The age recommendation for the book is 4 to 8 years old, but this book masterfully has included words that some bigger kids may already know, and helps them utilize that into their vocabulary. My sons (who are 8 and 10 years old) love to draw and write illustrated cards, similar to the size of a baseball card. They draw their favorite characters, or create their own, and then on the back they describe that character's stats. They include things such as what that character likes to eat, how fast can they run, are they a villain or hero, etc. <a href="https://www.mrswordsmith.com/products/my-epic-life-word-book" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank"><i>My Epic Life Word Book: 1000 Words to Live By</i></a> has helped my sons add some colorful and "epic" vocabulary to their cards statistics.

Dangerous Prayers is a beautiful book that shares 50 prayers and information about Christians throughout history. It shares their birth year and death year (if applicable), two pages for what they were known for, and a personal prayer from that person. The people range from historical figures, cultural icons, political leaders, to saints and martyrs. Some of the people are Billy Graham, Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Corrie ten Boom, George Washington Carver, Helen Keller, and C.S. Lewis just to name a few.<br />

The illustrations and portraits in this book are gorgeous. I like that there is a brief introduction to who these historical figures were and how they changed history. There are inspiring quotes, as well as their prayers to help encourage each of us in our faith.<br />

<br />
Many of these people, I did not know were Christians. It would be an excellent resource book if you have a child or student who is looking for information on historical figures or a start for a biography. My sons and I enjoyed reading this together, learning about a different person each night before bed.<br />
<br />
I think this book can be enjoyed by everyone. It is a beautiful glimpse into different parts of history, and how the brave prayers of these amazing people can inspire each of us today.<br />

Are you ready for Valentine's Day? I know many of us, especially parents and grandparents make a mad dash to the stores every middle of February to let our children and grandchildren know how much we love them. I think we let them know that everyday, but February does have that fun feeling of love. Ever since I was a little girl, my Dad has asked me every year to be his Valentine. When I got married, my husband joined that list, and now I have two sons who ask me. I have many Valentines to buy for! I thought instead of the chocolates, toys, or flowers, why not gift them books this year? I have been blessed to review the two following books that I think would make amazing Valentine gifts!<br />

<a href="https://tilburyhouse.com/" target="_blank">Have I Ever Told You?</a> is by Shani M. King, and illustrated by<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Anna Horváth. It is recommended for ages 5 to 6 years old, but I think this is a book everyone would enjoy. The author wrote this book as a note to his children, to not only remind them how much they are loved, but to empower them that they can be anything they want to be. The illustrations do a beautiful job of showing many different cultures and races, and this book even addresses bullying. It is a wonderful book to read to a child, whether they are your child, grandchild, or student. It teaches children that they are loved and that they can make a difference in this world. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
At the end of each page, the question, "Have I ever told you?" is asked. It reminds children of what it means to do the right thing. It addresses things such as manners, respect, values, and integrity in a way that children can understand and appreciate. My sons who are 7 and 9 years old, thought this book was really special.<br />

Patty Brozo and illustrated by Ana Ochoa is a humorous and at points, sad story about a lady who is homeless in a town. She is kind and tries her best to find all kinds of items in her purse, to help the people in the town fix what they need. Her purse is so large and full of items, that it also gets in the way sometimes. The important part of the book, is that she gave from her heart. She gave so much, that eventually her large purse was empty. This is when a child in the town steps in, and gets the community involved to help her. I won't give away the ending, but my sons and I were in tears of joy after finishing this book.</span><br />

If someone would have told this Jersey girl, that she would be living in the South one day, I think I would have laughed. Fast forward many years, and here I am. I absolutely love where I live though. I have made amazing friends here, my boys go to a wonderful school, we found a terrific church, and my husband and I have found jobs working for a company that appreciates our hard work. I get all four seasons, but nothing too extreme. I see beautiful scenery and there truly is no hospitality more elegant and graceful, than here in the South. I was excited when I heard of the release of the <a href="https://amzn.to/2GbvwYv" target="_blank">The Southern Living Party Cookbook by: Elizabeth Heiskell<i>,</i></a> because I can't wait to join my friends in planning gatherings. </div>

The cookbook is full of ideas and recipes on how to plan events such as wedding showers, baby showers, picnics, fish fry's, holiday dinners, and even just simple get together's with friends. It also includes table etiquette, invitations, notes, and so many more wonderful incentives. There is expert advice given through the introductions of each section, and even through the recipes to have each event be flawless. The advice given by the author is easygoing and comfortable, and she advises each hostess, "The more relaxed you are, the more fun your guests will have." The majority of the recipes include gorgeous and colorful pictures, which I love because I am visual. If I can see what something is supposed to look like, I can usually do a good job of making it or putting it together.</div>

If you are anything like me, learning the Bible as an adult has had its challenges. My parents instilled in me the best they had to give, and that was the belief in God and in prayer. We didn't go to church often when I was a child, and I really had no idea what Sunday School was, or what VBS stood for. (Vacation Bible School) I was baptized as a baby. It would be 25 years, with the birth of my oldest son, that I became baptized as an adult. Learning the Bible is important to me, and I was so excited to hear about <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Days-Understanding-Bible-30th-Anniversary/dp/0785216189/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1533163024&sr=8-8&keywords=30+day+to+understanding+the+bible" target="_blank">30 Days to Understanding the Bible by: Max Anders.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The edition of this book is actually celebrating 30 years since the book has been written! This new edition has been expanded and updated for today's readers, and also contains fan-favorite bonus content, previously removed. In just 15 minutes a day, for a month you can grasp a better understanding of the Bible. This includes learning about the Bible's key people, events, and doctrines. It has been recommended by Bible teachers and pastors for the last thirty years. The book also has a 13-week plan that can be used in small groups or group discussions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The author uses an easy to follow format, and encourages you with <i>What you can learn tomorrow is built on what you learn today!</i> Each of the chapters is built on this concept, and it makes the learning a straightforward and joyful progression. He relates the Bible to historical periods to make the time periods easier to understand, makes the geography uncomplicated, and the math used to remember the Old and New Testaments books amazed me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I originally thought I would be going through this book with my husband. My husband, unlike me, grew up in the church. He has definitely learned some things in this book though, as I summarize what I have learned. I would love to be able to go through the rest of this book, as a group discussion with some of my friends. I would highly recommend this book, as it can give you a better understanding of the Bible. </div>

Over the years, I have seen many different types of
Biblical children’s curriculum. Not only do my husband and I teach our
sons Biblical lessons, but we are also a part of the Kid’s Ministry at
our church. The one thing we have noticed about some of the curriculum
materials on the market is much of it is too easy for the children,
doesn’t cover reading the Bible, and requires the students to write or
really give any kind of comprehension or interactive study. They don't
go into depth of the Biblical story being studied, which at Second Grade
level, I think many of the children could understand. I am proud to say
that these issues were resolved when we got a chance to review Bible
Orientation: A Bible Survey Curriculum for Children; Volume 1: Law &
History.</div>

<i> </i>Can you believe Christmas is almost here? Time seems to be going so fast, and the end of the year always feels like the fast forward button is being hit. With all the activities and events going on this time of year, I have heard many of my friends say I haven't had time to be in the Word or have quiet time.This got me thinking, so I am sharing a way below with each devotional on when to find time to be in the Word. Each of the journals has lay-flat binding, a ribbon marker, and non-bleed paper. There is scripture, a reflection or message, a prayer, and lines to reflect and write on for each of the 365 days of the year. Each of the pages is marked with the calendar date, and each devotional could take as little as five minutes to read through. I enjoyed the flexibility of the lines where you could write, or possibly draw or color.<br />

Peace affects others, and my mother-in-law is one of the wonderful people that counsels with me and offers me advice to help keep my peace. I admire and look up to her, and I am very excited to gift this journal to her soon for her birthday.</span></div>

Her and I love having coffee together and talking, so I thought I would share this as one of the ways where time can be spent in the Word. The pages are absolutely gorgeous, and I love the color this journal used. When I think of peace, I would absolutely think of this calm, turquoise color. I looked up important dates for my mother-in-law in this journal, and found 2 Corinthians 12:9 and Psalm 108:5-6, which spoke of grace and glory. </div>

My sister is another amazing person in my life who I seek advice and counsel from. She is a cosmetologist so she is always making others feel beautiful by doing their hair and makeup. This is something her and I have enjoyed doing together also for many years, even before she became a professional cosmetologist. This made me think of spending time in the morning getting ready for work, or later in the day when you are ready to go run errands, why not spend a precious few moments in the Word. I am excited to gift this journal to my sister as one of her Christmas gifts. I hope it gives her the ability to take the time to be in the Word. "Take the Name of Jesus With You" by: Lydia Baxter was the song for a special day in my sister's life. It is about going through the journey of life and completing it; something her and I talk about daily.</div>

</i> I spend a good 20 minutes each day in car rider at my sons' school. I thought this would be a great time to have quiet time and be in a relaxed mood when my sons get in the car from a busy day at school. Colossians 3:2 was the opening scripture for a special day in my life, and that was very fitting for me lately. It gave me the encouragement not to focus on things of the earth, and gave me a reminder that my focus needs to be on God. All three of these journals are exquisite and I think they would be beloved by anyone that would receive them as a gift, even if it is a gift for yourself.<br />

With all the technology available today, it would seem life would be easier for us Moms. With all of the responsibilities, we often just get caught up in trying to survive, and we forget we are in a constant spiritual battle. This book is full of scripture, reflections and prayers to help us remember to rely on God, and stay MomStrong.<br />
<br />
This book would be wonderful for any season of motherhood, from a new Mom to an empty nester, to becoming a Grandma. I love how the author, Heidi St. John reflects on the importance of raising children who love and know the Lord. It reminds us Moms that God is in control, and how with this faith, weakness in us becomes strength in Christ.<br />
<br />
There are six sections in this book, and each section has about 5 chapters each. Each chapter starts with scripture, a story of reflection, a prayer, and scriptures to reference in your Bible. I enjoyed all aspects of this structure, especially referencing scripture in the Bible. This helped me tremendously with my quiet time with the Lord. I was able to focus and start my days with this knowledge, and each chapter took me less than 15 minutes to read through and reference my Bible.<br />
<br />
I would definitely recommend this book to every Mom I know. We are so hard on ourselves as woman, wives, and mothers. This book is a beautiful reminder that we are the Lord's, and our lives are His as long as we give that control over to Him. <br /><i></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of you may know, that I am a Boy Mama. I am incredibly blessed with two amazing sons, and I am beyond thankful to the Lord for both of them. I am also blessed to be an aunt to my awesome nieces and nephews. I understand my sons and my nephews, and they make it easy on this Boy Mama because usually they just want someone to hang out with, someone to talk to, make them something to eat, or watch a movie or play a game with them. My nieces are a different story. Love them just as much, but it is definitely more complicated. For instance (Girl Mama's don't laugh at me!), I was at my friend's baby shower a few months ago and learned that hair bows have different sizes like a one or a six. I had no idea what my friends were talking about!</div>

It is not an easy world children are growing up in today. I think it is harder on girls though. I have five nieces, and I hear stories from my sister and my sister-in-laws about what they face in school. I think it is important to have children know from a young age, that they are surrounded by parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and teachers that care about them. Most importantly, it is essential that they know they are loved by Our Heavenly Father. This wonderful <a href="https://www.zondervan.com/p/beloved-devotional/" target="_blank">devotional</a> brings 365 days worth of scripture, a message and a chance to journal or write down thoughts from that specific day.</div>

<a href="https://www.zondervan.com/p/beloved-devotional/" target="_blank">Beloved: 365 Devotions for Young Women </a>can be enjoyed by girls and women as young as the later elementary years, into middle school, high school, college and beyond. Women get to hear about powerful role models in the Bible such as Ruth, Esther, Mary or Abigail. The devotionals cover real world issues girls face today, and how they can find God in their hearts and lives. In as little as five minutes a day, young women can get a relevant, phenomenal message delivered to them in this devotional. </div>

I love being able to be present in the lives of my nieces and be the extra bit of encouragement for them. I am planning on gifting this to my second oldest niece this Christmas.

Hi, friends! It's hard to believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving already. This year has gone by so quickly. With Advent and Christmas approaching, I wanted to share with you a very special company I recently learned about. <a href="https://www.wearesparkhouse.org/" target="_blank">Sparkhouse</a> is a company that "strives to deliver resources that help you engage and build faith in your community with innovative Bibles, curricula, and workshops from birth to adult." </div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">They have graciously offered me these amazing resources to share a review about, and also are offering a bundle as a giveaway to one of you! These resources can help kids understand why we celebrate Christmas and what it means to their faith. My husband and I have always taught my sons the true reason we celebrate at Christmas, and that is the birth of Jesus. I was very excited to learn about a company who is as passionate about this reason as my family and I are.</span><br />

I was blessed with a journaling Bible and markers last year for my birthday, by a dear friend. I had no idea the popularity of Bible journaling (also called sermon note-taking), but I soon became intrigued. I saw these beautiful images people expressed of their faith in such a creative way, whether it be on their Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram pages. I wondered how could I learn to make such gorgeous artwork in my Bible.<br />

I was very excited to learn about the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ellieclairegifts/" target="_blank">Ellie Claire Art Journals </a>for this reason. The three exquisite journals are embossed on the outside with amazing fonts and designs, and have a hardcover. They feel almost handmade, and you can see the work, effort, heart, and thought that went into making them. Each journal has lay-flat binding, and thick papers, so that markers don't bleed through the pages. The journals each include blank, lined writing pages. From here, they take on their own unique features. </div>

The <a href="http://worthypublishing.com/product/faith-lettering-journal/" target="_blank">Faith & Lettering Journal</a> teaches the art of hand-lettering, and how this can create a peaceful quiet time for being in the Word. The author suggests about 15 minutes a day of practicing this technique. There are multiple examples of lettering and how to do it. One of the examples below shows how you start with a full outline of the scripture you are hand-lettering. It then allows you to trace that same example. There are then four spaces where you can practice. The scripture below of Ezekiel 36:26 is one of my favorites, "I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."</div>

The overall designs in this journal on the inside and outside are beautiful. Remember that dear friend I told you about earlier? She is expecting her second baby early next year, and as soon as I saw this journal, I literally felt like it had her name on it. It reminded me of her kindness, love, and generosity she gives to everyone she meets. I had this journal serve as the card in her baby shower gift from me. I wrote how much her friendship means to me in the inside cover. She was so excited, and thankful because it gave her a reminder to get back into the Word and experience quiet time with the Lord. </div>

<a href="http://worthypublishing.com/product/the-illustrated-word/" target="_blank">The Illustrated Word: An Illuminated Bible Coloring Journal</a> is a journal where 40 illustrations have been recreated as line drawings to color. Also included are the matching full-color illustrations from the archives of the Museum of the Bible. The picture shown below shows you the coloring page on the right as the full size page to color. In the corner on the left side of the page is the full-color illustration. Another favorite scripture of mine was found in this journal: "Be still, and know that I Am God." (Psalm 46:10) <br />

Some of the illustrations from the archives are dated back to the 1300's. I loved that this
showed Biblical history and what it looked like at the time. The example illustrations above and below are from <i>The Church of England Book of Common Prayer</i>, from 1662! I thought the coloring pages being shown with what the actual illustration are a wonderful idea. I think this allows you the creativity to either color it the same way as in the illustration, or to put your own spin on it. <br />

Coloring pictures is definitely not just for children anymore. I know many people who would enjoy this journal, as coloring relaxes them. What greater time to be in the Word, then when you are at peace and relaxed! This journal will be difficult to gift because I think my father-in-law would enjoy this, as well as my cousin, sister-in-law and my preteen niece!<br />

<a href="http://worthypublishing.com/product/illuminate-story-journal/" target="_blank">Illuminate Your Story Journal</a> teaches the almost-lost art of illuminating letters. The letters were inspired by manuscripts in the Museum of the Bible's collection. It includes Insular, Carolingian, Ottonian, Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance Illuminated Letters. A description of each of these periods and styles is given in the introduction of this journal. There is also a brief set of directions on how to use the journal, as well as a list of art supplies you may want to use.<br />

In this journal, there are quotes from famous people in history. The example below came from Laura Ingalls Wilder, "As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful." There is a folder in the back for Keepsakes, such as keeping pictures, favorite scripture passages, or cards or notes from friends or family. The letter illustrations are colorful and exquisite, and included are some hints and tips throughout the journal to help make your lettering better.</div>

All three of these journals were incredible. If I had to pick a favorite though, it would be the <a href="http://worthypublishing.com/product/illuminate-story-journal/" target="_blank">Illuminate Your Story Journal</a>. I felt this journal was more my personality. I adored the history of the illuminating the letters and the description given of each era. I liked that there was more direction, which I needed because I am not the greatest of artists. I will be keeping this one for myself, and I am practicing daily. I am very excited to be able to have this journal and my journaling Bible show my faith more creatively and visually, and to be able to spend that time being in the Word. If you had to pick a favorite of the three above, which would you pick? Leave me a comment to let me know! Thanks for stopping by to read my review!</div>

<a href="http://hllsng.co/canyoubelieveit?IQid=blog" target="_blank">Hillsong Kids DVD, Can You Believe It!? </a>is a 25 minute DVD filled with kids singing worship songs, and lyric videos. The title of the DVD serves as both a challenge and a question. It invites children to learn more about God and His love, and also their faith. <a href="http://hllsng.co/canyoubelieveit?IQid=blog" target="_blank">Hillsong</a> believes that teaching children to love God and others takes place in both the home and church. Some of the worship songs include "My Best Friend," "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)," and "What a Beautiful Name."</div>

These guys in the DVD are so funny, and it makes it so enjoyable for children and adults to watch!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In between the music videos, are Funny Man Dan and his co-host, as they act silly and play games, like the one pictured above. This matching game included who God is and what the Bible is, and what living for God would look like. During other in-between music video segments, they would have another person with them that they would ask questions to. I thought the discussions were perfect for a child's understanding, and I think they did a great job of explaining God's love and grace. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My sons loved the music and being able to see the kids in the music videos!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The music videos are all so cute! The videos include kids in real life situations such as being out in nature, at home, and spending time with family and friends. My sons and I very much enjoyed the videos and the songs. Each of the videos shows kids helping others, which I thought was such a positive attribute. My favorite video was children dressed and acting like their parents and staff in adult church. It had a child portrayed as the pastor, and the amount of work that goes into setting up chairs and the venue before church. It showed what it takes to setup the worship stage. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This DVD would make a wonderful children's Biblical resource for not only parents, but also church leaders and pastors. My husband and I teach second grade boys Sunday School, and the students absolutely loved this DVD! They were singing and dancing in the classroom along with the kids in the music videos. We also play the game, Four Corners, where we have them go around the classroom as music plays. When the music stops, they have to go to the closest corner of the classroom, where there is a name, city, or description of what we have read in our lesson that day. We have a student pick a name out, and whichever corner has that name on the label, that team of students gets points. The students asked if this DVD could be the music going forward! My family and my students adored this DVD. I hope yours will too! </div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Autumn is probably my family’s
favorite season. The weather cools down, the leaves change colors, football,
holidays, food, and catching up with friends and family. We love to have the
windows open and just spend time together inside as a family. One of the ways
we do this, is to play board games. I was so excited to learn about <a href="https://www.theoldschoolhouse.com/product-reviews/?rid=7010" target="_blank">Kerfuddle</a>,
and with both of my sons learning how to spell and read sight words, I thought
what a fun way to do learning and family time together. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="https://www.theoldschoolhouse.com/product-reviews/?rid=7010" target="_blank">Kerfuddle</a> is a family game that can
be played in as little as 15 minutes, with 2 to 6 players. It is suggested for
ages 8 and older, but my 7 year old who is second grade had no trouble playing.
All the pieces come in a convenient cup with a lid, which makes clean up easy,
and having the lid I think is a great way to not lose any pieces. It also makes
it a fantastic game to bring to a friend’s house. Each game comes with the cup,
14 Letter Cubes, Number Cube, 12 “Shake It Up” Cards, Game Mat, Sand Timer and
Full Instructions. The only thing needed to play is some pens or pencils, and
some paper or a notepad.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In today’s busy world, it can be extremely difficult to keep everything on your family’s schedule organized. From school to sports, to church activities, holidays, birthdays, work, and play or lunch dates, the calendar can get filled up fast. I enjoy much of what technology has to offer, but there is something about writing everything down so it is in one location so that everyone can see it, that makes me a happy Mama. We have a central spot in the kitchen, designated for our family calendar, but the problem is there is never enough space for me to write everything in, and there is just 4 of us in my house, and a cat and a dog. I can’t tell you how excited I was when I heard about the More Time Moms Family Organizer.</span></span></div>

Third grade can be an enormous, scary adventure to not only a child but also a parent. It seems this is the year that many new responsibilities get added to a child, including more independent learning. It is a bittersweet moment for me as a Mama, seeing my oldest start third grade this year, but knowing it is ultimately making my son a stronger and more independent learner, I know it is for the best. For this reason, I knew that incorporating<a href="https://www.sonlight.com/DLG4" target="_blank"> Sonlight Language Arts D</a> curriculum would be good for both him and me.<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.sonlight.com/DLG4" target="_blank">Sonlight Language Arts D</a> is designed for third grade, and for children ages 8 to 11 years old. This curriculum embraces the “natural learning” approach, compared to the traditional workbook methods used to teach Language Arts. It allows children to analyze and discover what they are learning, and at this level, does require some help from parents. The curriculum is designed to follow a 36-week schedule (5 days a week), and stresses the importance of spelling, phonics, vocabulary development, and handwriting.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.zondervan.com/p/spirit-of-god-illustrated-bible/">The Spirit of God Illustrated Bible</a> is written by Doris Wynbeek Rikkers and illustrated by Fernando Juarez. It has over 40 stories from the Old and New Testament, that bring the word of God to life and remind us of His Spirit that is always with us. Each story is anywhere from 4 to 10 pages long, and includes scripture, a story based on that scripture that adults and children can enjoy and understand, and gorgeous illustrations that depict the story being told.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stories include many of the familiar people in the Bible, such as Adam and Eve, Moses, Abraham, Joshua and Joseph. This is the first children's book based on the Bible, that I have seen, that introduces many less known people in the Bible such as Bezalel, Balaam, and Amasai. As I was reading this with my sons, I opened my Bible and my husband's commentary books to learn more. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each story describes how God's Spirit has been with us since Creation and all through to present day. They are stories of hope, encouragement, wisdom, knowledge, bravery, love and truth. The stories are beautifully written, and the illustrations are colorful, yet serene and peaceful. This would be a perfect bedtime storybook or an exciting way to introduce a Biblical lesson to your child, or students if you teach a Sunday School class.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My family and I very much enjoyed reading these stories together. It not only taught my sons more about the Bible, but it also taught me. My 7 and 9 year old sons loved the stories of adventure and heroism, but it was a wonderful reminder that we can have none of these things with the Spirit of God in us. This children's book is very appropriately named, and my family and I give it a 5 out of 5 stars!</div>

History has always
been a favorite subject for both me and my husband. It is wonderful to
see that it is quickly becoming a favorite subject to both of our sons
now. They especially love learning about what happened in the Bible, and
how these true stories of the Bible are a part of history. We were all
excited to learn more about The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls books from
Worthy Publishing for these reasons.</div>

The Secret of the
Hidden Scrolls is a three-book series so far. It is recommended for
children ages six to nine years old and is perfect for emerging readers.
Each book is about twelve to thirteen chapters, and anywhere from 110
pages to 120 pages long. The font is easily readable and spaced
perfectly, to introduce children to chapter books. It also has a few
illustrations throughout the chapters. At the end of each book, are
references in the Bible where children can learn more about in the
Bible, from what they read in the story. </div>
