I have not seen Courageous yet, but I have heard positive reviews about it and can't wait to get its DVD. Courageous challenges men to be better fathers. The 21-Day Dad’s Challenge aims to do the same. Because of their competitive nature, men enjoy challenges. This book offers 3 weeks worth of challenges for dads to develop better relationships with their kids. The challenges were written by well-known Christian men such as Josh McDowell, Jim Daly, Joe White, Jay Payleitner, Randy Alcorn, Tony Dungy, Shaun Alexander, Chip Ingram, Carey Casey (the general editor) and one woman. The 21-Day Dad’s Challenge will inspire and equip men to build stronger bonds with their kids while having fun and instilling Godly values in them. I'm excited to be sharing all the practical tips in this book with my husband. It's helpful for moms, too :). Each chapter ends with "Your Challenge" and "Your Plan" (action steps). Some chapters also include a symbol/ code (that works with your smartphone) and a link to a video by Dr. Greg Smalley for bonus help/advice in taking that day's challenge. I really like these videos. You can join other fathers as they take the 21-Day Challenge here. Kids grow up so fast. Please do not take the gift of fatherhood for granted. No matter how old your child is, he/she would be thankful that you intentionally reach out to him/her with love. This resource is a wonderful parenting coach at your fingertips.

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...

Book Review: Immeasurably More: 100 Devotions on God's Extravagant Grace by Deb Burma

I was excited to review this devotional book for 3 reasons: 1. I collect devotional books, 2. I'm a big fan of God's grace, and 3. The theme of our church's women retreat this year (this weekend) is Ephesians 3: 20-21, " Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory ." which is also the theme for this book. Immeasurably More is a beautiful and meaningful devotional journal. It has 100 devotions organized into 10 different topics (grace, love, power, provision, purpose, peace, joy, gifts, rest, and life). Each devotion starts with Scriptures and ends with journaling and prayer prompts. This journal can be used individually or in a group study. I have been blessed and refreshed by God's wondrous truths and Godly insights found in this book. These encouraging, inspiring devotions invite readers to bask in God's goodness and to experience His never-ending, jaw-drop...
