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. The book is a nice square size, measuring eight-by-eight inches. The twenty, sturdy pages are filled with beautiful, full-color illustrations.

How Billy Graham’s Life and Death Influenced Me

Fire trucks parked at the overpasses and hung American flags from their ladders. Red heart balloons floated heavenward as the hearse passed by. Intending to spend only a few minutes watching the televised procession, the same thing happened as numerous times before. God has an amazing way of…
