Martin Luther by Mike Fearon

Martin Luther by Mike Fearon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

For as far back as I can remember I have known who Martin Luther is and have had a vague understanding of his life. However, this wonderful little biography changed that for me! In roughly three hours of reading I gained a brief, yet thorough, overview of his life which began with great fear and ended with strong faith.

This 160 page book is short and easy-to-read, but could be a little challenging for younger teens to read. It might be a challenge worth making them work through since Luther's life is such an encouragement to the "average" person. Not only did I enjoy learning about Luther as a historical figure, but I reveled in learning about how God used an ordinary man to bring such extraordinary change to the church. And this short read lit the spark to read more about Luther and his life - especially his last 20 years being married to Katy!

Anyone who reads this book will walk away with more understanding of who Martin Luther really was, what his life work was all about, and be encouraged by how God an change what seems impossible to change. I highly recommend it to teens and adults both. It would also be a great book to read as a family for those with middle school age children and on up.

Long Story Short by Marty Machowski

Long Story Short: Ten-Minute Devotions to Draw Your Family to God by Marty Machowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

Fabulous!

I love this family devotional book that can easily be made to work for a wide range of ages. The first reason being that it ties the Old Testament to the gospel! Too many family/kid devotionals just give stories rather then truly help kids connect with the Word of God. In this book, which gives you five, ten-minute devotions per week, there is at least one day when your reading a New Testament passage that connects to the Old Testament story line of the week.

The next reason I like this family devotional is that it's easy. And very simple, too. There are some suggest object lessons, but they are simple and certainly not mandatory for the kids to get the week's lesson. If you don't do it everything will still make sense.

And the third reason I like this book is because it's comprehensive. It incorporates reading Scripture, discussion and interaction, and prayer all together in an easy to follow format that really only takes ten minutes - if that.

In the words of Emily: "This book is fun!" And our family loves it!

BOOK OVERVIEW:

Christian parents know the importance of passing the gospel story on to their children, yet we live in a busy world filled with distractions. Schedules collide, there is homework and yard work and dishes and laundry, the car's oil should be changed, there are phone calls to make and before you know it, everyone is getting to bed late again.

The Bible can seem like a long story for an active family to read, but when you break it down into short sections, as Marty Machowski does, family devotions are easy to do. Long Story Short will help busy parents share with their children how every story in the Old Testament points forward to God's story of salvation through Jesus Christ. You won't find a more important focus for a family devotional than a daily highlighting of the gospel of grace. Clever stories and good moral lessons may entertain and even help children, but the gospel will transform children. The gospel is deep enough to keep the oldest and wisest parents learning and growing all their lives, yet simple enough to transform the heart of the first grader who has just begun to read.

Ten minutes a day, five days a week is enough time to pass on the most valuable treasure the world has ever known. Long Story Short is a family devotional program designed to explain God's plan of salvation through the Old Testament and is suitable for children from preschool through high school.

Dusty Mole Private Eye by Barbara Davoll

MY REVIEW:

This is a kids book that approaches the topic of drugs in a very appropriate way while entertaining and teaching through a delightful tale. It should be needless to say, but I will make sure I am clear that it teaches against drugs. It is the first book in a series about brother and sister moles and a host of othor furry characters. While this is a small chapter book meant for 3rd or 4th grade readers to read alone, it also served well for me to read it aloud to my 4, 6, & 8 year old. They enjoyed the story and it was an easy way to introduce a hard topic. I would recommend this book to any of my friends who are reading to kids.

The Reformation Study Bible ESV

The Reformation Study Bible: English Standard Version Hardcover 2nd Ed w/Maps by R.C. Sproul
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

One of the endorsements I read for this Bible said that this is the "Gold standard" in Bibles. I agree.

This Bible is the best study Bible I have yet to use. It is the flowing and easy-reading ESV version which is accurate and eloquent. On top of being a superb version, it contains wonderful study notes, articles, and commentary that make it not only a Bible, but a study tool. My favorite part is that this study Bible highlights the Word of God rather than any man's opinion as the contributors share insight based on a cross centered view point. While I use several other study Bibles in my personal study, I appreciate this one the most for coming back to the heart of the matter - the gospel - from start to finish. The features in this study Bible will help you learn more for your cross centered life.

This study Bible is a wonderful, easy-to-use, and simple tool for teens and adults both. It's a must-read and must-use!


BOOK OVERVIEW:

Widely considered one of the best tools available for Bible study and previously only available in the New King James Version, the Reformation Study Bible (RSB) has been updated to the readable and accurate English Standard Version (ESV).

In addition to the comprehensive study notes, the RSB offers readers extended discussions on the authority of Scripture, the atonement, and other key aspects of biblical theology.

The RSB is intended for use by anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the Scriptures. The reader will appreciate book introductions, an extensive cross-reference system, and illuminated words and terms within the Bible that are crucial to an in-depth understanding.

A Little Girl After God’s Own Heart & A Little Boy After God’s Own Heart

Welcome to Day 2 of the After God’s Own Heart post series!

A Little Girl After God's Own Heart: Learning God's Ways in My Early Days by Elizabeth George
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

Elizabeth George takes her fabulous teaching of the Word of God and presents it on the level of a young girl. She uses rhymes and the illustrations of Judy Luenebrink to walk a little girl through the Fruit of the Spirit and how it applies to her young life. It's a tender teaching tool that both adult and child will enjoy.

Personally I love the book for the truth of Scripture it holds within it. Secondly I love this book because it combines spiritual growth with a simple thing most of us parents do on a regular basis - read to our children. Why not accomplish both academic and spiritual teaching into one thing?!

BOOK OVERVIEW:

You can have joy and peace all day long — When all is good… or if everything’s wrong! A girl after God is a girl who knows Her heart’s the place Where happiness grows.

Every day there is a way to know and show God’s love!
•Love
•Patience
•Faithfulness
•Gentleness
•Joy and Peace
•Kindness and Goodness
•Self-Control

So many treasures are in store for a little girl after God’s own heart.

A Little Boy After God's Own Heart by Jim George
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

Jim and Elizabeth George come together to create a fabulous and Biblically sound book for little boys based on the Fruit of the Spirit. They take their biblical teaching found in all the adult and teen books and bring it down to the level of a 3 to 6 year old boy. Rhymes and the illustrations of Judy Luenebrink are used to apply the Bible to a little boy's every day life. It's a tender teaching tool that both adult and child will enjoy.

Personally I love the book for the truth of Scripture it holds within it. Secondly I love this book because it combines spiritual growth with a simple thing most of us parents do on a regular basis - read to our children. Why not accomplish both academic and spiritual teaching into one thing?!

BOOK OVERVIEW:

God’s little boy is faithful and true,
So if you say you’ll help, be sure that you do.
Oh, how a family is happy and blessed
When you, their dear son, show faithfulness.

Bestselling authors Jim and Elizabeth George share biblical truths in fun rhymes for little guys. Joining together again with popular artist Judy Luenebrink (God’s Wisdom for Little Boys), the Georges offer growing boys encouragement to

* show God’s love when being a good friend
* honor their parents by behaving well
* practice patience as they help others—including brothers and sisters
* demonstrate the Golden Rule by being generous
* follow through as a faithful, obedient boy

The combination of charming paintings and easy–to–learn lessons will guide boys toward the heart of God and toward a life of godliness that shows in their words, actions, and spirit.

Christmas Gifts That Won’t Break by James Moore

Christmas Gifts That Won't Break by James Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

Christmas Gifts That Won't Break is a unique way to celebrate Christmas! This 4-week Advent study is fully equipped and loaded with resources, teacher aids, and class activities to keep any class room busy as they learn about God's gifts to us.

I liked how all the material - games, crafts, lesson, etc - is in one neat little book. And there is so much material you may not actually get to use it all! This book is brimming with great ways to drive home the truth of God's love to young children of all ages. The material is applicable and/or adaptable for ages 2 through 12 and would be a great special Sunday School series or Children's Church series.

BOOK OVERVIEW:

This study explores how the gifts of the Advent season have a permanence that speaks to generations of children past, present, and future. Everything you need to implement this study for children is self-contained in this single resource. No additional student books are required.

What are the Christmas gifts that won’t break? They are those gifts that cannot be lost, that never go out of style, and that are independent of the chances and changes of life. They are the gifts that have been graciously given by God.

Designed to be used in conjunction with the Adult and Youth versions in an all-church Advent study, this study will focus on four of those gifts that also coincide with the four outer candles of the traditional Advent wreath:

* Hope
* Love
* Joy
* Peace

During these 4-week studies, children will receive from God and pass on to others “Christmas Gifts That Won’t Break!”

A Warrior Prince for God by Kelly Chapman

A Warrior Prince for God by Kelly Chapman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

This book is recommended for ages 3 to 8 but there was no way my 3-year-old was going to sit through the entire reading of this book. While it has great pictures that are bright and fun, the storyline is just a little too long for the younger ages. However, for older boys - 5 to 7 - this might be the perfect book. It's baseball, warriors, knights and horses, and all about being a warrior for Christ.

A Warrior Prince For God takes the rough and tumble and gives it a purpose and a place in a little boy's life. And what boy won't like the dog named "Burpie"?! This story helps boys understand their purpose in life and how they can be strong warriors for the Lord.

BOOK OVERVIEW:

“Once upon a real time there lived a boy named Luke. He dreamed of being a mighty warrior who was brave and courageous. But there was just one problem. He was afraid…”

In a lively story about baseball, camping, and facing your fears, author Kelly Chapman helps readers see that, no matter what they are afraid of, they can be strong in the Lord and in God’s mighty power. A Warrior Prince for God is all about finding out that a warrior prince is a Christian who lives a life worthy of his calling and enters into battles only when he is called, and then relying on God’s strength and not his own.

For ages 3 to 8 years

Piggy Party by Beverly Lewis

Piggy Party by Beverly Lewis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

Piggy Party is yet another book in The Cul-De-Sac Kids series by Beverly Lewis. It's the 19th one to be exact!

I enjoyed this book about Groundhog Day and secrets and how it was easy for kids 5 to 10 years of age to relate to. There is humor, lovable characters, and biblical truth all in one easy-to-read book for kids. My kids - 3, 5, & 7 - enjoy having me read them aloud, but I think most 2nd to 3rd grade students could read them alone, too.

BOOK OVERVIEW:

Carly Hunter is chosen to take the class guinea pig home for the weekend, just in time for Groundhog Day. Tired of winter, she decides to test Piggy's skill for weather-telling. Can Piggy guess the beginning of spring? Will he see his shadow? When the Cul-De-Sac kids hear of Carly's experiment, they join in--and bring their pets. Can trouble be far away?

The Great TV Turn-Off by Beverly Lewis

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

Beverly Lewis has written a very creative series of books titled The Cul-De-Sac Kids which are great for elementary age kids to read alone or for parents to read to them and younger kids. My kids and I enjoy the fun characters who deal with everyday problems that children face in America. This group of first and third graders will not only entertain your children but teach them some biblical lessons along the way, too.

I really enjoyed this 18th book in the series because it was all about T.V. Turn-off week. It showed that while it may be hard, there are other things to do than just watch T.V. and that you can actually have fun not watching!

This book would be a great way to introduce or kick-off your own no T.V. week as a family. You will appreciate the multi-generational approach as depicted in this book.

Christy: Stage Fright, Goodbye Sweet Prince, Brotherly Love

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

C. Archer has done a wonderful job of adapting the book Christy by Catherine Marshall into something easy to read for younger children. This audio version by Oasis Audio is read by the talented Jaimee Draper and will captivate the imagination of children 6 and up. Draper reads with drama and flair that add life to the characters and depth to the story.

This set of audio stories is a great way to introduce children to classic fiction. I would suggest that parents listen to them before allowing their children to since there may be parts or entire stories that are too scary for your child depending on their personality.

I enjoyed listening to these myself as they simplify and then dramatize to a greater depth the original story. They do sometimes add some variations that you will not find in Catherine's original book.

BOOK OVERVIEW:

Stage Fright: As Christy's students are preparing for a school play, she reveals her dream to act on stage. Little does she know that Dr. MacNeill's aunt is the artistic director of the Knoxville Theater.

Goodbye, Sweet Prince: The whip cracked and the stallion reared up in pain. Christy cried in horror, "I've got to find a way to get Prince away from here!" Prince, the mission's stallion, has a cruel new owner. Christy and her students are heartsick. They desperately want to help Prince. But how? Is there a way their magnificent horse can be reclaimed?

Brotherly Love: George, Christy's younger brother, is charming and kind. But is he also a thief? Everyone is delighted when George visits Christy at the Cutter Gap Mission. But the delight ends when George reveals what he has been expelled from school for stealing. Can Christy summon the love and faith to help her brother do the right thing?

Christy: The Bridge to Cutter Gap, Silent Superstitions, The Angry Intruder

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

C. Archer has done a wonderful job of adapting the book Christy by Catherine Marshall into something easy to read for younger children.

BOOK OVERVIEW:

The Bridge to Cutter Gap: Christy Huddleston's dream is to teach poor mountain children. Join Christy as she crosses from the familiar world of parties and pretty things to the different world of Cutter Gap, located in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. There she meets the doctor who needs her help to save a life and the handsome minister who helps her face the challenges of teaching and loving the mountain people.

Silent Superstitions: Strange things are happening in Cutter Gap and everybody is convinced that Christy is cursed. After all, who can explain Bob Allens' mysterious accident on his way to bring Christy to Cutter Gap? Or the lightning strike that sent a tree through the school window? Will fear and superstition triumph? Will Christy be driven out of Cutter Gap forever? Or will Christy overcome and win the hearts of the mountain people?

The Angry Intruder: Headstrong and independent, Christy is determined to change the lives of the children in Cutter Gap. Yet it seems that anything new and strange poses a threat to the mountain people, who are proud of their way of life. Evidently, Christy has angered someone enough to cause a string of mysterious pranks. The handsome minister fears that the pranks will turn dangerous. Unfortunately, he doesn't realize how right his fears are.

Christy by Catherine Marshall

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

Catherine Marshall whisks you back in time to a secluded place in the Smokey Mountains where you see life through the eyes of Christy. She is a spunky and courageous young teacher who wants her life to be about more than just who she knows and what parties she attends. As you find yourself walking the rugged hills and viewing the majestic sights in your own imagination, you will also find yourself learning wholesome life lessons.

The characters come to life through this audio version of the book and you finish this story feeling like you have new friends. Kellie Martin - who played Christy on the CBS dramatized version of this book - reads the book with passion and depth.

I not only enjoyed hearing the whole and original version of Christy, but was captivated by the tale. I couldn't wait to get up and get to work around the house so that I could continue listening to this amazing journey of Christy and the many other people woven into her story. I would highly recommend this book for older children to adults. It would make a great resource to entertain the family on a long road trip or over a longer period of time in commuting to school or around town.

There were parts that may be slightly scary - such as shootings, burials, and some of the folklore - but overall I think that it would still be appropriate for the average person, child, or family.

BOOK OVERVIEW:

Christy Huddleston left home at 19 to teach school in the Smokey Mountains. There she came to know and love the wild mountain people with their fierce pride, their dark superstitions, their terrible poverty, their yearning for beauty and truth. Christy found her faith severely challenged in these primitive surroundings; and, confronted with two young men of unique strength and needs, she found her own growing yearnings challenged by love.

Bible Stories For Growing Kids by Francine Rivers & Shannon Rivers Coibion

Bible Stories for Growing Kids by Francine Rivers

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

Excellent!

I'm not even sure if this word is adequate enough to describe my thoughts on this audio book. It is one of the best resources for 4 to 8 year olds I have reviewed.

First of all I love how they tell Bible accounts in a short format with a flair that stays true to the Bible but also makes it come alive. Then they follow up each story with personal application in the "Growing Time" section. Not only are kids learning about well-known and not-so-well-known Bible characters, they are learning how the Word of God effects their own lives.

I can't wait to have my children enjoy this audio book with fantastic narration while they drift to sleep each night. This is a must have for every home with children!   You can listen to a sample by clicking here.

BOOK OVERVIEW:

From this gifted mother-daughter team of Francine Rivers and Shannon Rivers Coibion come the Bible stories youll want to share with the growing kids in your life. Meet thirty important people from the Old and New testaments - some of them famous Bible figures like Abraham and Paul, and others unsung heroes like Amos and Priscilla. The stories will capture kids hearts and minds, and the "Growing Time" sections will help them apply the lessons of each story so they can live for God today!

Big Thoughts For Little Thinkers by Joey Allen

Big Thoughts For Little Thinkers: The Scripture by Joey Allen

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW

This series - Big Thoughts For Little Thinkers is excellent! These small little books are cute and easy to understand for young children all the while dealing with "deep" concepts.

These 4 books talk about and explain The Scripture, The Mission, The Gospel, and The Trinity at a child's level. Each book is "narrated" by a character who introduces their self to you at the beginning of the book in way that gets your child's attention.

I really enjoyed how easy it was for my kids to relate to the characters in the books and understand hard things. The book on The Gospel was my favorite, but all of them were very good and biblicaly sound. I read them to my 3, 5, & 6-year-old children and each of them were able to understand at appropriate levels.

Every home should have a set of these on their shelves!

Kidz Rock: Digging Into The Beginnings

(Thanks go out to Oasis Audio for making this series possible through providing the review copies)

HCSB Kidz Rock: Digging Into the Beginnings by Various

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

MY REVIEW:

Are you traveling this summer with young children?

The Kidz Rock series might be an excellent resource for you to use to both entertain and teach your children while on the move!

This audio book consists of one 2-hour CD that is basically an overview of the book Genesis. It's a combination of passages being read by a male narrator and questions and application be talked about by a female narrator. It's upbeat and easy to understand for young children while still being enjoyable for teens and adults.

Kidz Rock: Digging Into The Beginnings is a great way to spend time on the road learning and growing. Be sure to check out Oasis Audio for more in this series!
