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

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
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 w...

Packing for your first ski trip

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
