In the Shadow of His Wings

 

I am always looking for a devotional book that includes insights in nature. This book meets my expectations and then some. Roslynn Long combined photographs of a variety of birds and then placed her beautiful and uplifting words to make a complete devotion. Each picture was taken with such care to show each bird in their beauty. All in all this is a book that can help each of us to look at the creations of God in a glorious new way.

The Blue Zones American Kitchen

 

I received a sample of this book to review. From what I saw, it looked like I had some of the recipes from the first section,   "Indigenous, Native and Early American." The recipes and the pictures were wonder and the steps for the unusual foods were easy to follow. I look forward to the official release so that I may purchase this book and try some of the other recipes from this book.

I recommend this book with anyone with a curiosity for new, to you, recipes.

This series "Heroes of Havensong" has a grand introduction in "Dragonboy.' This books brings four unlikely friends together to help save a world that some have grown up with.

One Word For Today

 

What a wonderful devotional book. This book gives one word as the heading, then there is a verse to think upon. The short reading is easy to fit into any busy day and it filled my heart with God's love. 

Along with each of these there is a question, a prayer and a step for action.

I could see this as an individual, family or small group devotion. It could open the door for sharing thoughts.

I loved this devotional and would recommend it to everyone.
