My Review:
Wow, the photos of the hand made dolls is what grabbed my attention immediately. I paged through just to look at each character that was created. The fact that the images in this book are all photos of real hand made dolls makes it very special. I found myself looking to see if they would have the Bible Characters for sale because how fun as a kid to get a new doll each time you read about someone new from the book.
I like this devotional as it is different because it is not focused on the Bible stories so much but rather the individual person and what they did for the Kingdom. The author did a nice job of helping the reader see the person grow in their faith. They still point to Jesus and scripture is at the top of each page.
Go and pick up "Faithful Friends" today and enjoy some reading with your family. Make it routine and read every day!
