My kids (ages 4 and 3) have been asking about Easter for weeks. They are excitedly counting down the days until this monumental holiday because their Grandparents will be visiting all the way from Germany. I have wanted to take advantage of their interest in the holiday and share as much about the death and resurrection of Jesus as possible. I was looking forward to reading them the book, “Tell Me About Easter” by the B & H Publishing Group….
You guys, this book is ADORABLE! It’s perfect for both of my children (son- just turned 3, daughter- 1 1/2). Not only is it suitable for them because it’s a board book (Can I just send a shout out to whoever invented board books?!), but the content is beautiful. As I’ve shared before in book reviews, having a book that shares the values of the Bible, and the love of Jesus in words that speak directly to toddlers is thrilling…
The concept of books written for children about Hero’s from the Bible is excellent. I appreciate any resource that can be used to teach my children about the Bible. Author Victoria Kovac, and illustrator David Ryley created a book I believe best suited for elementary age children. While reading the Daniel book to my toddler-age son, I had to leave out a lot of the story. Since he’s so little, I don’t like to read stories to him that focus on bad…
My 2 1/2 year old son’s motto in life seems to be, “Full Speed Ahead!” at every moment. He is a boy with loads of energy, enthusiasm, and passion. He loves to have fun, and sometimes gets himself into quite a pickle doing so. Needless to say, when I sat down with him to read, “First Virtues- 12 Stories for Toddlers” by Dr. Mary Manz Simon I didn’t have high expectations he would pay much attention. I have to tell you, he was hooked…
Dear Priscilla, If I could, I would invite you to my home for coffee and cake (a German tradition I’ve adopted from my hubs) midafternoon while my babies are (hopefully) napping sometime very soon. I would share with you how very important your Bible study, “The Armor of God” has been deep down in my soul these last several months. You have taught that my mind, will, emptions, and conscience are the sum of my soul (Pg. 71)….
Outside of the Holy Word of God, I’ve never been more moved, taught, or ignited by a book in my life. A few weeks ago, I sent that exact sentiment to Beth Moore via Twitter. I just about fainted with glee when I saw a text on my phone indicating BETH MOORE herself had actually replied to my Tweet. I was downstairs with the kids, letting our dog Jovie out when I saw it. I began jumping up and down…
Over the summer a group of friends and I went through Kelly Minter’s Bible Study, What Love is. Kelly mentioned her struggle with fear in the book, and suggested her previously written study, No Other Gods. I jumped right on it, and another friend joined in! No Other Gods is part of The Living Room Series. (Not to be mistaken with her stand alone book by the same title.) Kelly not only teaches readers how to dive deeply into Scripture, but…
