BRICK BUILDERS Illustrated Bible Review & Giveaway
Zonderkidz sent the BRICK BUILDERS Illustrated Bible for me to review and to give away to one of my blog readers. It will not hit the store shelves until December, so you could win a copy before everyone else gets one! Apparently, faith-based toy brick–building books are hot items. NIrV Faith Builders Bible and Building Faith Brick by Brick: An Imaginative Way to Explore the Bible with Children are two more examples. However, today, we’re reviewing the BRICK BUILDERS Illustrated Bible . Within its 224 pages, there is a retelling of thirty-five stories taken from the Bible. At the end of each story, there is a “Building Block” section which contains…

MY CHRISTMAS ABC’s Christian Book Review
by Sally Matheny Christmas will be here before you know it so today I’m sharing a Christian book review of the MY CHRISTMAS ABC’s board book. My one-year-old grandson will LOVE this book for Christmas! The Details The rounded corners are nice since he tends to put everything in his mouth right now.

LOVE IS KIND by Laura Sassi- Book Review & Giveaway
In LOVE IS KIND, by Laura Sassi, there’s a precious little owl in pursuit of the perfect gift for Grammy’s birthday—a heart-shaped box of chocolates. But Little Owl’s trip to Chipmunk’s Chocolate Shoppe is anything but smooth. This beautiful picture book will delight children ages four-to-eight years old. French artist, Lison Chaperon, gives attention to every detail in the adorable illustrations. I love how she weaves verses from the “love chapter,” 1 Corinthians 13, into her illustrations of a stream, over a hearth, in the petals of a sunflower, and other special places.

Once Upon a Farm by Rory Feek -Book Review & Giveaway
by Sally Matheny Once Upon a Farm is Rory Feek’s, second book. The Grammy-Award winning artist’s first book, This Life I Live, told of the exceptional love story he and his late wife, Joey shared. Read this review of how these two books compare. I thought based on the book cover of Once Upon a Farm, there would be lots of stories about raising his four-year-old daughter, Indiana. Out of the fifty-six random stories, only a small handful are about sweet Indy. But they are precious! As in his first book, Rory maintains the same style of writing with his humble and grateful attitude and raw sincerity. …
