Book Review: I Will Follow Jesus Bible Storybook

Each night we gather together for family devotions, (or at least we try!) and a time of prayer. These things are part of our evening routine. While we do read from our Bible, I enjoy having a devotional book to follow with my children. Honestly, while Paul has no problems leading our family time, I find it challenging sometimes. It…

Book Review: Jesus Calling

Tracy / December 30, 2015

Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presencewas another of my selections this month for Tommy Nelson. I received both the original book and the companion devotional meant for children: Both books are beautifully hardbound. With a dedication page and satin bookmark, they would make a lovely gift. Each book is divided by days and contains one short reading (short enough…

Book Review: Parable Treasury

Tracy / November 25, 2015

Here are some highlights from The Parable Treasury: Written by Liz Curtis Higgs Illustrated by Nancy Munger 117 pages long Hardback, padded pages One quick note, parents who…

Book Review: I Prayed For You

Tracy / November 3, 2015

I Prayed for You was part of my November book package from Tommy Nelson. This book hit so close to home. Paul and I have made it a habit to pray for each of our children consistently from the time we found out we were expecting. At this season of life, we are praying over the little one growing inside…

Book Review: Read Me a Bible Story 365

Tracy / September 30, 2015

Our evening devotions are one of my favorite times of the day. It’s that time when we can sit and snuggle in the living room. Daddy most often reads from the Bible or one of our family devotional books. We listen and ask questions. It is a time to share concerns and prayer requests. The house begins to wind down…

Book Review: God’s Good News (Devotions from Billy Graham)

Tracy / September 9, 2015

My first review book this month for Tommy Nelson is God’s Good News Bible Storybook. I grew up watching Billy Graham on TV. It seemed that most of the nation stopped for his broadcasts (or at least that was my perception). As I grew older, I learned more about his ministry to presidents that spanned decades. My husband had the…

Book Review: Count My Blessings 1-2-3

Tracy / September 1, 2015

I’m learning to count my blessings. It’s something I very much want my children to learn, too. So many times we go to the Lord to ask him for something specific, but how many times do we stop to say thank you for all we have? This month, I was sent a copy of Count My Blessings 1-2-3 from Tommy…

Book Review: I Love You Even When

Never once did I ever doubt my mama loved me. I have so many sweet memories of her. She was never one to allow me to get away with just anything, but when I did make mistakes, she was always there to scoop me up, dust off my pain and tell me she loved me. I hope my children realize…
