Thank You, God, For Blessing Me!
by Max Lucado
A very colorful board book with delightful illustrations that reminds us that God has blessed us in so many ways! It further shows us our responsibility to live a life that pleases God, so we can show Him our appreciation of His many blessings.
I feel that it is so important to instill thankfulness in children. So many times in life we forget to stop and thank God for the beautiful world that He prepared for us, family, friends, the daily provisions, and His greatest gift the plan of salvation!

Brighter Days for Katie Ann!
The Wonder of Your Love
by Beth Wiseman
This book has many twists and turns, rather unpredictable. I haven't read many books by Mrs. Wiseman, I know the story would mean more to you if you had read all of her other books first, but it stands on it's own as a good read.
The main character, Katie Ann, has faced hardships, embarrassment and disappointment, and is due for some better circumstances.
I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series, I feel well acquainted with these folks and am interested in following their lives.

God made us special!
Hermie, A Common Caterpillar
By Max Lucado
We need to realize we are blessed, even though we may not be able to slam dunk a basketball, cook a delicious meal, deliver a powerful sermon, paint a beautiful painting, etc., God has a purpose and plan for each of our lives, and when we find that purpose, and are doing God's will, we can be happy and content knowing that God can work through us. We need to pray and ask God to use us for His purpose.
This book shows children that we are all special to God. This edition is a level two reader with easy print for children learning to read with colorful illustrations.

Quality Time!
100 Devotions, 100 Bible Songs
By Stephen Elkins
It is important to teach children the importance of personal and family devotions from a young age.
God is so important in our lives and we can learn so much about Him through Bible study.
The things I like about this book:
The music included -- there are 100 songs presented with catchy tunes!
The devotions teach so many valuable life lessons!
The colorful illustrations!
The coordinating devotions with the songs!
The one thing I would like different would be King James Version memory verses. There are a few, but I really feel that it is actually easier to understand, and it has stood the test of time as the Bible for English speaking people.
This is such an amazing book to me! So many songs and devotions!
I feel it is so important that parents spend time with their children and read to them.

Smack Dab in the Middle of God's Love
By: Brennan Manning
I enjoyed reading this book! The illustrations are so colorful, and the words themselves draw mental pictures in my mind!
It is so wonderful that when we accept God's love for us, he fills us like honey in a soppapilla! What a difference salvation makes in our lives.
God sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross, to bear our penalty of death -- the result of our sin against God. Oh, what a Saviour, what love for us!
I am so glad to be smack dab in the middle of God's love!

Enjoyable!
Sweet Sanctuary
by Sheila Walsh and Cindy Martinusen-Coloma
I enjoyed reading this story! What a difference the truth makes!
Sometimes we have to be shaken out of our comfort zone so we can be blessed!
I highly recommend this book! We should remember that children remember how we treat them, and what we do and say not only influence them now, but after they grow up these things affect how they feel about and treat us.
I would be interested in reading more books by these authors!

I Believe in Creation!
It Couldn't Just Happen
Knowing the Truth about God's Awesome Creation
by Lawrence O. Richards
I Believe in a literal 6 day creation. God is not limited by time or space and he spoke the world into existence! This book is a great science book that tells how special we are as God's own creation, not just a happenstance. I really like the neat illustrations and the explanations about how we function by God's design and how different creations need each other to exist.
One thing I would change is using the King James Version of the Bible for references. It would have meant more to me to use familiar passages that I understand and love.
This book was well researched and I am excited to have a source of information that doesn't base the "facts" on a theory-- evolution. I am frustrated at the nature programs offered that just assume evolution as fact.
Wake up and think for yourself, don't listen to people refer to billions of years as if they were there. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1
