My Review:

The illustrations in this book made me giggle! The comic like pictures and the humorous facials on each face really made me laugh out loud. Mary had some really great facial expressions. I love how even in comic like illustrations the story still portrays the true reason to celebrate Christmas! JESUS! I had many laughs with my husband after the kids were in bed because the illustrator sure had a lot of fun drawing each picture. I especially liked the page where it showed Jesus as he was growing up. :)

My kids enjoyed the story which is about Jesus and his birth but it doesn't end their it goes on to share more about Jesus and the work he did here on Earth.

Thanks Zondervan for supplying a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not paid for this review and all opinions are 100% mine.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Ancient creeds and confessions of the faith to grow your understanding of what we believe—and have always believed. Artwork made throughout the history of Christianity to deepen your worship of God. My Review: I have a full house often being a pastor and now that we have a bonus daughter with us she is the blessed one to receive this Bible. She has been desiring a bible to take notes in so when she saw margins she was pretty excited. Then with the leather she was more exci...
