Book Review: The Women of Easter

Liz Curtis Higgs is such a gifted writer. I was reading her bio where she says that her one goal is to help help us find the "grace of God with joy and abandon." You can tell by reading any of her works that this is exactly what she wants.

In The Women of Easter, Higgs looks at Mary of Bethany, Mary of Nazareth and Mary Magdalene and their story surrounding Christ. Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down. Each woman was so dedicated and faced many trials because of their love of Jesus.

This book is such a blessing in my life and I know that it would be the same for anyone who would pick it up and read it.

Children's Book Review: the Berenstain Bears' Easter Blessings

I love The Berenstain Bears and I love Easter. So placing these two together is awesome. This brought back the feelings I used to have when I would read the Berenstain Bears' to my own children and now I hope that my grandchildren will enjoy Easter Blessings.

This book emphasizes the importance of looking for blessings, especially at Easter. The family, including Gramps and Gran look around and see blessings in the weather, friends, family and so much more.

This is such a wonderful, feel-good book. I would recommend it to anyone that would like to bring the Berenstain Bears into their family, or those who would like to introduce children to Easter blessings.
