Book Review: "Jesus is for You" By Judah Smith


Book Description
What would it be like if someone were completely, 100 percent for you?
The loser. The rising star. The drug addict. The good Christian kid gone bad. The undeserving overwhelmed with gratitude. Whoever you are and wherever you’ve been—Jesus is for you.
Not when you clean up your act or when do the right thing or when put your life back together.

Jesus is for you—in the midst of now. Whether you woke up amazed by your blessings or shamed by the worst mistake of your life. Jesus is for you and with you, and He’s not going anywhere.
The heartfelt and honest stories in these pages reveal what it means to experience Jesus and discover the real life He promises. With insight from New York Times–bestselling author Judah Smith and backed by Scripture, this book will allow you breathe deeply the profound truth that Jesus is for you.

My Review:
This book is a fun little read to pick up and page through here and there.  I personally love reading the quotes from Author, Judah Smith.   He writes in a great way that makes you realize more of God's love!   One of my favorite quotes from the books is, "When we focus on His goodness, His power, and His grace, we are hardly even aware of what is happening, but we begin to change.   We begin to be more like Jesus.  Another one that got be really thinking was "God is not in a hurry to fix us.   Our behavior is not His first priority.   We are His first Priority.  Loving us is His main Concern."  So many quotes will have you thinking and praying and looking at scriptures.   This book is definitely one I want to read then reread again when I am having a bad day but then hand it off to someone to needs some love!  
Another neat feature of this book is the pictures on each page.   Their are beautiful nature pictures to adventure pictures.  
The book also has short testimony stories that are sure to increase faith for anyone who reads them.   I love this quick pick me up book that is full of love, mercy, grace, and truth!   
Thanks Booklook program for sending me this book for free 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

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week!  I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea  deodorant  that I had never used prior.  I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp???  Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening!  :)  I was dry and I did not stink!  :) WOOT WOOT!  I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future.  :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E.  :) Don't like roll on's??  They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid.  :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them.  However,
