Jesus Calling: 365 Devotions for Kids

Each day starts off with a date, title, and verse.
The verse is a reference for the reading and the readings themselves are written as if God is speaking them directly to the reader.
Each devotion ends with verses for you to read in your bible for further reading of Gods' word.

It's a fantastic daily devotional. I got this book thinking it would be suitable for me to read with my young son, however, I think that "Jesus Calling" should be geared towards older children, teens, and even adults.
There aren't really any child specific topics and I was disappointed in that aspect of it.

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone with young children, but if your teen or yourself is looking for a simple and quick daily read, then this book is for you.

I give it 3 stars

A Christmas Prayer- Amy Parker

Instead of focusing on toys and presents the child in this book goes through each character of the Nativity story. From Gabriel to Baby Jesus, thanking God for the blessings of each.
What a lovely book! Full of colorful illustrations and a perfect, short but sweet, outlook on christmas through a child's eyes.
I definately recommend this book; to anyone with small children who want to teach their child(ren) the true meaning of christmas.
***** five stars from me!

One Hand, Two Hands

I recently received the book " One Hand, Two Hands" by Max Lucado. It is about all different things we can do with our hands, it's a child's book with lovely illustrations. My son enjoyed it and actually sat through me reading it.
The only problems that I have with the book are that the illustrations are just girls.
I have a boy and while he loved looking at it, it's not always his first pick because of the fact that it's "girly".
I also didn't like how some of the Colorful words indicated what the hands were doing, while some didn't. I think they should have made all the words in color, be those that were actions so that the children could identify with what the hands were suppose to be doing.
As always, I thoroughly enjoyed the book i received and would recommend it to my friends and family. Good choice for a children's book.

Howdy

I know it's been awhile since I was last on, but i'm still here. I got a new book from Thomas Nelson Publishing that I will be reviewing for you all in a few days.
I have been sick this past week, my whole family has been sick. I started school and work is kind of crazy. I am going to go to bed soon, so I will update more later.
