Book Description:
What if a child could read his or her own personal mail from God? The NIrV Love Letters from God Bible will invite kids to do just that! This full-text Bible in the New International Reader’s Version (NIrV) is a perfect way to introduce children to God’s Word and his great love. With 80 love letters from God written especially for the reader, children will see Bible stories and themes come to life and learn just how much they are loved by their Creator.
Each love letter also contains a very special Bible verse, entitled God’s Wonderful Words to You. Much more than a mere memory verse, each carefully chosen promise will be God’s very own personal words of love, encouragement, and hope, and are highlighted in the text. The love letters will culminate in an invitation for the children to write their own RSVP to God.
Features include:
  • 80 personal love letters from God
  • Highlighted Wonderful Words—special verses to remember and cherish
  • 80 prompts encouraging children to write their own love letters to God
  • 8 full-color tip-in pages with additional content
  • The complete text of the New International Version (NIrV)

My Review:
I do enjoy the NiRV translation Bible for my kids and I so this is a great one to give to your developed readers, like 8 and above.  Beyond an awesome Bible with easy to understand translation I absolutely admire the section of love letters.   How awesome it is for kids to really connect with Daddy God and get them in a good habit to write Him back.   There are 80 different topics to help kids write a letter back after they have read a touching 80 letters just for them from God.   I really think these love letters will inspire and touch kids of all ages and God's Holy Spirit will probably time these letters just perfectly in kids lives.  

I really enjoyed that they highlighted some scriptures however I was very disappointed as the highlight is way to light.   I really had to do several double checks trying to find one and then realized they are in such a light blue hue that it is very hard for the eye to catch.  I know they didn't want it to bleed through the paper however I think many kids see their parents Bibles are highlighted so they probably would be excited that someone has highlighted some important scriptures for them.   I am considering go back through with a highlighter... or allowing my kids to do it when they find one! 

Thanks Zondervan for sending me this book for free in exchange for an honest review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed 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 words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
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,
