This children's book contains more than 100 best-loved Bible stories. The stories are based on the International Children’s Bible and retold by Gwen Ellis. The pictures are illustrated by Steve Smallman. It also includes 2 DVDs. This Volume Two covers many favorites from both the Old Testament and the New Testament such as Joseph, Moses, Balaam, The Promised Land, Solomon, Elijah and Elisha, Joash, Hezekiah, Job, Isaiah, Daniel, Jonah, Jesus' Life, Jesus' Death and Resurrection, the Holy Spirit, Peter, and lots more.

My boys (even though they are older than targeted readers for this book) enjoyed listening to me read these familiar Bible stories and looking at the lively, colorful illustrations. Each story is short which is perfect for young children's attention span. At the end of each story, there are insightful comments and/or questions for discussion. I also like the fact that all the stories include Bible references so that we can look them up in the Bible for further details. The DVDs are really good for reinforcing what we read in the book. If you want to share God's Word with young children in a fun, interesting, exciting way, check out this book & DVD combination. Appropriate for ages 4-8.

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...
