Precious Moments prayer Bible

Precious Moments was a part of my childhood. The brand holds many fond memories for me and when I saw this Bible I could not help getting it, not just for myself, but for the kids I work with in children's choir and hopefully one day my own children.

This sweet NKJV Bible is filled with prayers for your kids to learn, ones for hope, school, family, I was surprised at how many. I even used one of them to encourage a friend when she was really down and stressed. So for all you adults out there you won't be bored out of your mind, or wondering if this will go beyond just the childhood years.

The print size I adored! Very easy to read for kids and adults, and with the NKJV your kids will have fun looking up what some of these words mean, but still get a good idea of what's being said if they don't.

I do recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good Bible for their kids or many for your church nursery. The hard cover will hold up under pressure and the full color illustrations will keep younger children interested.

That's all for now folks. I hope you have a blessed day!

I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review, which I have given.

Seven-mile Miracle

I have kept up with Pastor/Author Steven Furtick's books since I got his book "Crash the Chatterbox" from the blogging for books program. Each one has had something insightful, and very helpful, I started to read seven-mile Miracle, and I began to think it was for the new believer or someone who hasn't yet received God's grace. It took a few more pages for me to realize I was wrong; it is for the newly saved, the unsaved, and for those of us who are still receiving His grace day by day.

"It’s Good Friday. The Son of God is giving up his life. What does he want to say to us in His final hours? What does He tell the people standing at the foot of the cross, to pass down to the ages? He speaks only seven short statements. Words of forgiveness, salvation, relationship, abandonment, distress, triumph, and reunion. Seven statements that mean everything."

Each chapter, or in this case each mile, brought deep truth into what I thought I already knew. This book is insightful, funny, and gets to the heart of these seven final statements of Jesus. On chapters I thought would have no impact on me, after all I already accepted Christ as my savior what could I have to learn about the subject of Salvation?, showed me that we sometimes need to return to the roots. 

The most important part to me in the first mile marker or so was that grace isn't a one time thing, it is renewed every day, because we need it. I loved how Steven put it in the way of it's like being saved again and again and again. I was getting to a point where I thought God wouldn't listen to my pleas anymore, that I had finally done enough to get him to ignore me, but I was oh so very wrong. Boy, I was never so glad to be wrong.

I think this a perfect book for anyone. It is a good introduction into what we christians believe, and gives a solid foundation in The Truth. For those of us that think we have nothing left to learn, pick up this book and see if it has the same effect on you that it had on me. 

that's all for now everyone. I hope y'all have a blessed day.
