My Review:
This 365-day hardcover book is sure to please some girls in your life. This devotional starts with scripture, devotional, and ends with a prayer. Every few days it includes some puzzles, crosswords, or some other journal type pages. The book has 7 sections which include: Be Forgiven, Be Changed, Be His, Be Encouraged, Be Free, Be Brave, and Be One. I like that this book labels each day as "Day 1 or Day 33" instead of starting at January 1st which makes it easy to start on any day. I also really appreciate the ribbon bookmark, as it is always nice not to be looking for a new bookmark.

Natalie Grant writes some very nice topics that mature girls will be able to learn and discuss. I feel like it might be a bit more challenging for younger girls. Overall, I enjoy reading it with my daughter who is ten but we really haven't had too many discussions yet with the readings. She is 10 and is mature so I imagine se will start to be more comfortable discussing things.

"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.

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...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear.

The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
