Features include more than 200 beloved Bible stories, bold, bright illustrations, a discussion starter with each story, and so much more. The Read and Share Bible makes it easy for you to create long-lasting memories as you encourage a love for reading God’s Word.

My family and I are huge fans of the collection of Read and Share Bible books available! They are perfect for introducing the Word of God to children without being too wordy or confusing. They add just enough of many popular stories to get the point across. As a parent, I really appreciate the simplicity.

The Read and Share Bible itself offers more than 200 Bible Stories. The illustrations are eye catching and display a scene from each story perfectly. Every story in this collection also features a discussion starter to get the ball rolling and encourage young minds to really think about what was just read. I love it!

I’ve been reading this Bible to my daughter Melody whom is almost three years old. It’s great because when I read now she’s asks questions about the stories and often asks me to read it again. It’s great to see her learning about God through this Bible! I would encourage everyone to pick up a copy of this fantastic Bible. I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as the children it’s being read to!

Read and Share: Stories About Jesus By Gwen Ellis is a wonderful book to share with your children! This book features thirteen well known stories about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ in a simple format that’s easy to understand for young minds but without taking away from the story. I’ve seen a lot of books that simply the stories way too much and am very happy that’s not the case with this book.

The illustrations done by illustrator by Steve Smallman are cheerful and welcoming. I think he portrays a visual to the story being told to the children in a great way.

Each story is presented on a a two page spread, the title is featured followed by scripture reference, and a short write up of the story. I really like that at the end of each story the author includes a question that you can ask your children about the story previously read such as “If you were one of the children who got to meet Jesus, what would you say to Him?”.

I’m loving the fact this a book I can read to both my children ages almost three and about a month old. I welcome the board book format of this book as this is why I can sit and read it to both my kids. I don’t have to worry about my baby boy or my little girl being too rough with the book. No torn pages here!

Overall this a great board book for little ones. This can be incorporated into a weekly devotion for your kids! I highly recommend picking this one up for your toddler & preschooler as it might be to simple for children any older than that!

After two months of marriage the church my husband I were attending at the time was promoting Love & Respect by Emerson Eggerichs. We attended the the DVD video series offered and was later lent the book to read. I would say it did us both a lot of good because here we are standing strong four years later.  The basic premise of this book is based of the Bible verse Ephesians 5:33 which says, “Each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband” (NIV).

Over the span of the four years that I’ve been married I’ve read a lot of different marriage books and none I’ve liked quite as much as this one.  Love & Respect hits issues married couples often face head on. When reading through the book you’ll learn about the cycles that tend to tear couples apart like the crazy cycle and learn ways to break them through the energizing cycle. You can read this book alone but I see much more impact coming from it if you take the time to read it together.

I would encourage every married couple to pick up this book. I know personally for my husband and I after going through a lot more of life together are going to start reading this book again this year. It’s a wonderful book to go back to that will continue to strength your marriage for a lifetime.  It will completely change your life and your marriage!
