God's Little Lambs Bible Stories

I don't often write reviews on children books or children Bible storybooks. Usually because those book are open to interpretation and artistic flair. Children's minds are not like adults so the stories would have to be severely scaled back for their understanding.


This book captured my attention with the illustrations and I chose to review it thinking it may make for a nice Christmas gift.

What did I think of God's Little Lambs Bible Stories? I found it interesting. I like how the major stories of the Bible: In the Beginning, Garden of Eden, Noah, Jericho, Joseph, David, and Jesus to name a few. The stories did host an abbreviated account of each, but still relayed the most important parts of that Biblical account.

The New Testament was different in its telling, making sure that the stories centered around Jesus and sparked an ember for a child to want to know more about Jesus. 

After each story, the little box that summed up the "moral of the story" is a sentence or two that helps the story relate to the child's life.

Would I recommend this book? Yes, I would. I find it more intriguing than any other Bible storybook. 

***I received this book from Zondervan via Booklook Bloggers in exchanged of an honest and complete review***

Shirley Corder's Strength Renewed

Shirley Corder's Strength Renewed: Mediations for Your Journey through Breast Cancer Shirley Corder's Strength Renewed is not just for those who suffer or have suffered from breast cancer...it is also for those who suffer from depression, anxiety, lethargy, pain, and all other "cancers" in life. From page one I found myself uplifted by Shirley's words. Although I have read the passages of Scripture before, I reread them with new understanding and new life. Just as her book provides new life to hope. I am listing a few things at the beginning that captured me so thoroughly that I went back and reread that chapter of meditation: " Jesus and his disciples came across a man who had been blind all his life. 'Who's to blame for this man's blindness?' the disciples asked Jesus. 'No one," Jesus replied. He explained that God's power would be revealed as a result of the man's disability.... ...Cancer is finite. God is way

God's Name is a Tower by LeAnne Blackmore

God's Name is a Tower by LeAnne Blackmore (Ambassador International 2019) "You are my strong tower--" This line from the book resonates. With its whimsical illustrations, the book captures the essence of that statement. A child's faith is innocent and our faith should be like that, too. Each page affirms the truth of the Bible and of Jesus. It is a wonderful book that will build up a child's confidence and strength. Little truths about blessings, how Jesus sees us, the power of His word, and so on are brought to the young reader as a beautifully written rhyme. One unique addition, which I haven't seen in any other book, is the added Scripture at the bottom of the page. It relates to the story and gives even more depth to the truth taught. Of course the best part was saved for last: "For You are my Comforter,  You are my Guide,  To You I will run-- I'll find shelter inside." This may be written for ch

The Reluctant Guardian by Susanne Dietze

The Reluctant Guardian by Susanne Dietze (Love Inspired 2017) Years ago, before I learned about Christian fiction novels, I was a fan of Julie Garwood and her ilk. Those books were the only historical romances that I cared to read, especially when they hosted a Scottish character. Now that I have matured and moved away to more wholesome and rewarding books, I have also kept an eye out for a story that reminded me of those books. Since historical romance isn't my preferred genre, I am a harsher critique compared to many romance readers out there. So it was a delightful surprise to pick up Susanne Dietze's book, The Reluctant Guardian . The story of Gemma and Tavin was complex, and yet simple. The story was multilayered, and yet straightforward. As you can see the plot and romance created an unique juxtaposition. This was far behind what I thought it would be and I found myself reading it for a second time to ensure that I didn't miss anything. The book
