City on Our Knees

It is rare to find a book that includes so much detail about such a strong christian influence. I have always loved this song and could NOT wait to receive this book. It did not let me down! I was drawn in from the beginning! To see how much influence God has had over his life and what he has done with it is amazing. It just shows what can happen when your listening to God and obeying. Sometimes hard to do but obviously very worth it! A wonderful read and I hope you'll check it out!

Keep talking about God!

Sometimes we as parents find it difficult to express to our children aspects of the Bible. While we know and understand they want to know and understand. I am reading a book with my two boys called "Jesus Calling 365 devotions for kids" by Sarah Young and adapted by Tama Fortner. This is an awesome book! It breaks down scripture to a language that children not only understand but find entertaining. The Bible says to talk with your children about God every day and this is a great way to do that. Read to them and have them tell you what they got out of it. Try it and see!

A Christmas Prayer by Amy Parker

Only once in great while does a book like this come along.I am writing of the book "A Christmas Prayer" written by Amy Parker. Every Christmas I say the same thing, and I do not believe that I am alone when I say "My children do not remember the reason we celebrate Christmas!" It frustrates me to no end that our Lord and Savior are replaced with the "gimmes" all through the Christmas holiday. Don't get me wrong. I am all for Santa but firt and foremost this season is for Jesus and his birth. This book takes the whole story of Jesus' birth and breaks it down one step at a time for even the smallest child to understand. It says "Thank you" for every piece of the story and truly reminds us all what Christmas is REALLY supposed to be about. It should be in every church nursery and every child's book collection. It is wonderful! Don't take my word for it read it yourself!

Its Your Life, Make It Count

I just finished reading a really terrific book by Max Lucado. He shows us that as Christians we can touch others lives so profoundly. He takes you back so that you can take a look at your life at a glance, it makes you want to do better and be better.

This book makes me want to truly be the hands and feet of Christ. If I want to touch others and show them God's love, to impact their lives for the good, God has his hand on me and puts me with the people that I can make a difference with and that is no different with our children. They can show God's love on the most pure level. The bible says that those who do not humble themselves like little children will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

This is a good read, for you and your child!
