Recently, I received a copy of Mornings with Jesus 2012 to share my thoughts on and to use through out the year during my daily morning quiet times. This a great devotional book that is simply written but challenges it’s readers in a big way.

As a mother of two very young children, often there’s not a whole lot of time for me to sit in quiet and spend a little time with the Lord. I welcome this book because I feel that the publisher and the authors recognized that in this day and age there’s a lot of scrounging around to find the time to make everything fit into our days.

Each devotion in this book is only one page. A Bible Verse opens the devotion followed by a short thought or story from one of the seven authors spotlighted in this book which include Tricia Goyer, Camy Tang, Sharon Hinck, and a few others. Ending the devotion is a “faith step” that shares a practical way to apply what you’ve just read to your life that day.

In the back of this devotional book, there’s a meet the author section, scripture reference index, a topical index, and a note from the editors. Overall I encourage you to check out this devotional. It’s a great book to strength & encourage you in your daily walk with God.

Princess Stories is must have book for girls ages 4 through 8 years old. No make believe fairy tales here, the stories here are taken and written in a first-person narrative about twenty nine woman whom stories can be found in the Bible.  The 30th story is about the child reading the book or the child you’ll be reading this too. I love that this was added to remind us that we are all daughter’s of the King and that makes us special Princesses.

This book is beautifully illustrated. It very colorful and very eye appealing from the characters representing the women in the Bible to the full page colored backgrounds. It’s exciting to turn the page to see what’s next.

Each story is four pages and written in a first person rhyming style.   There is title addressing who the character is, a bible verse where her story can be found, a short write up that talks about her life, another passage of scripture that focuses on her character trait, and a section called Princess Pondering in which their are questions to be discusses about what was just read.

This is a great book to  read through in a month as a devotion with your child,  to incorperate into a Sunday School Class lessons, and so much more. I highly recommend this book! I am excited to jump into this book with my daughter soon since she’s been asking a lot more about God, Jesus, and the stories that can be found in Bible.

I’ve been looking to start new traditions of all kinds to share with my family this Holiday season. Preferably something the whole family could take part in and enjoy. Something that even my younger children could still take in and learn to understand the meaning on why we celebrate this day in time.

25 Days Until Christmas: A Family Advent Calendar is a wonderful DVD to welcome in the Christmas season with your family! It was just what I’ve been looking for! It’s quite unique in what it is and it’s a great way to share celebrating the Birth of Christ Jesus!

This DVD features daily scripture readings, beautiful HD winter scenes, devotions and inspirational Christmas music & hymns.  You can view one day at a time, or “play all” for a longer, more worshipful experience. It features a Bible reading of The Christmas Story. And there is also text-less and optional narration versions.

I’ve been running the DVD all the way through entirety on occasion. It’s such nice background when I am preparing meals, writing out cards, and knitting up gifts. I’ve even found my daughter humming along to the tunes and pointing out the beautiful winter scenery! I imagine that during Christmas day itself we’ll be having this DVD playing! And what a great way to start memorizing scripture from the Christmas story itself.

Overall I think this is a wonderful timeless and unique DVD to bring into your home this Christmas season. You can purchase this title at many retailers and 25 Days Until Christmas at Amazon.comis available for $9.99 & eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25.
