Review: Butterfly Box

Wouldn't it be fun to receive a box filled with wonderful surprises that will lift up your soul and draw your heart closer to God and His Word? Butterfly Box  is a monthly subscription designed to help Christian women transform their faith, renew their spirit, and pursue Jesus. Each month a theme box is thoughtfully put together to help you find quiet time to spend with God and focus on your spiritual growth and well-being. Each month's box reflects a Biblical theme and contains 4 to 6 items such as inspiring books, devotionals, or journals, decors, artwork, jewelry, personal care items (ex: soaps, lotion, candles, etc.), faith sharing cards and other theme-related gifts carefully chosen. Products selected are faith-based or support small Christian businesses. I was so excited when I received my October prayer-themed box for review. Everything is so beautiful and meaningful. The box includes Weekly Prayer Guide, The Power of a Praying Woman by Stormie Omartian, Be Still and Kn...

Review: Spiritual Seeds Planner

  I am a planner-wannabe. I know I need to be more organized. I am a list maker, journal keeper, and sticker lover. I was elated to receive this grapefruit pink 2021 Weekly Planner for review. Spiritual Seeds Planner is no ordinary planner. It prioritizes our spiritual growth over our daily plans and progress over achievement. It is designed specifically to help Christians live a life filled with the fruit of the Spirit, guided by the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 is one of my favorite Bible verses: " But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law ." This unique planner uses a gardening theme that emphasizes four garden plots: Friends/Family, Self/Personal Well-Being, Community, and Vocation/Work. Each month focuses on one fruit at a time and has a page for writing down action plans to plant and cultivate and grow. Each month starts with an inspirational ...

Book Review: Generation to Generation by Yael Eckstein

  Billy Graham said, " The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith ." I hope most if not all Christian parents concur. However, busyness, distractions of technology, and the pulls of worldliness are all working against us parents trying to pass on our faith to our children. I find this book quite interesting and helpful (you can tell by how many good quotes I like...see below). I always wanted to know more about the Jewish roots of our Christian faith. I enjoyed reading Generation to Generation and learning so many things about the holy observances of the Jewish year and about Judaism.  The author shares how the holy observances and traditions help Jewish parents pass down their faith from generation to generation (known as l'dor v'dor). She also explains key values that each one reinforces. The book covers Shabbat, Passover,...

Book Review: Comparison Girl

Comparison is a disease that infects all of us at one time or another in varying degrees. It's one of the Enemy's tools and strategies for making us stumble and sin and keeping us from being useful and fruitful for the Kingdom of God. Comparing ourselves with others either causes shame, discontent, and jealousy (feeling inferior) or pride, arrogance, and contempt (feeling superior). Either way is unhealthy and unproductive. In Comparison Girl , the author shows us there's a better way to live our lives by learning from Jesus how to be free from self-absorption in this measure-up world. Do you struggle with not measuring up? Do you worry about how others think of you? Or do you think, "I would never..." when others make wrong choices? Do you easily find faults in others while being clueless about your own faults? This book addresses all these issues (insecurities, envy, fear, pride, arrogance, self-importance) and more. Shannon Popkin invites us women to tip o...
