Wonder- Book and Movie Review!


Today I took the kids to see the movie "Wonder."  I read the book this week and my daughter read it at school this school year.   

The book was a quick and fast read because it was so good!  I was drawn in from the start.  I liked how short the chapters were and that the book was sectioned out by characters which provided a viewpoint of that character.   

The author developed the characters very well and anyone who reads can't help but think about being kind more!  I think my favorite character was the cool teacher who really challenged the students with mottos and positive sayings.  I know since I am a teacher it was easier to relate to him.  

On to the movie... bring tissues!  It was a great movie that leaves you with a lasting message of be kind to one another.  A message we all need to hear more of. 

I was disappointed they left out the whole hearing aide part of the story as well as getting a new puppy at the end.  So minor differences

"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.

After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Timeless Truth Bible - Blogger Review #timelesstruths #biblegram #bible #Christianbookstagram

About this Bible: The Christian faith is founded upon an unchanging and unceasing confession: that “Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11). This is the confession upon which all our hope, and all our joy, rests. The  Timeless Truths Bible  will encourage you in this truth through the wisdom of those who came before us with: Devotional notes and commentary from trusted theologians and pastors from the second century up to the twentieth to stir your affections. 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...
