Book Review: Fish Sandwiches: The Delight of Receiving God's Promises

I was given this book by the publisher. The following review is my honest opinion.
One of the first stories I learned in Sunday School was the Feeding of the Five Thousand. I loved how it showed how God cares about all of his people. This miracle can be found in all for Gospels.
I don't know how many times I have turned to this miracle when I was feeling unsure if God was loving me at that moment. It has always had a place in my heart.
This book, Fish Sandwiches: The Delight of Receiving god's Promises by Troy Schmidt, examines this miracle about feeding his followers from a boy's five loaves and two fish from different angles. It draws the reader's attention to how this miracle shows God's heart and how he will provide, not just physical needs but spiritual needs also. I was able to read this book quickly while taking in the different aspects. I also liked how at the end he includes a version of the Feeding of the Five Thousand, The Feeding of the Four Thousand and a list of God's promises for us.
I highly recommend this book.

Book Review: God Made The World

This is a great way to help youngsters to learn about the Creation of the World. The pictures are bright and clearly bring forward the verse that goes with it. I believe that children that are visual learners will have the story of the Creation come easily to them.
I know personally, I would have had an easier time learning these verses with these pictures.

Children's Book Review: Wow! The Good News in Four Words

How great! A participatory book for children about the Bible!
I received this book, yesterday, for free from Tyndale Kids, and the first thing that struck me was the bright, expressive colors on the cover. And illustrations that will draw kid's attention to it.

This book gives the children four words that they are encouraged to say, loudly, when they see them on the page. Each one has its own shape to go with it. So Wow is in a red heart, Uh-oh is in a broken purple heart, Yes is on a brown cross and Ahhh is in a blue cloud. The text is written in a rhyme so children will catch on to it very quickly, plus the story itself is the Good News.

Before the story begins, there is a page to parents to give an idea of how to use the book and then at the end there are Scriptures for the parents to take the story further with the children. The Scriptures are given for each of the words.

I am so excited to share this book with my grandchildren. What a fun way to present these little ones with the Good News!

Book Review: English Lessons: The Crooked Little Grace-Filled Path of Growing Up

English Lessons is a memoir by Andrea Lucado, the daughter of Max Lucado. It tells of her path to finding answers to some important questions such as Who am I? Who is God?

I felt like this book spoke to my heart. When I first received it, I thought I would try it because I have always liked her father's works. But I also had doubts. This is a very personal story for her as she went off to Oxford and while there she shares the new view she discovered while there.

I felt her laughter and doubts through the book and rejoiced when she made discoveries. 

This is an excellent book for all who are looking for their own answers.
