Precious Moments Storybook Bible By Sam Butcher

Precious Moments Storybook Bible

By Sam Butcher

When I seen this book available I was so excited.  It looked so cute for children.  When I received it I was very impressed.  It is a Bible Storybook that takes characters that we all remember from childhood and put them in our favorite Bible Stories.  Every story includes full color borders that put an extra touch to the page and the images are large to helps to bring the reader closer to the story.

The new Bible contains beautiful stories and amazing artwork.  It also includes a section for childern’s songs.

I would recommend this book to anyone with children.

Thank You Booksneeze for the opportunity to review this book.

"Big Red" Holy Bible - Contemporary 3-D Art

"Big Red" Holy Bible - Contemporary 3-D Art

I could not wait to receive this book from booksneeze, however I was disappointed when it arrived.  I found that it was simply a children's translation of the Bible with a few pictures.  It was a paperback binding, which I would have thought that it would have been something stronger - especially since it's meant for children.

Same Bible but updated with fresh, 3-D art for today's video-game generation

The pictures are  almost life-like and each picture has the scripture location at the bottom of the page for the corresponding story in the Bible.

This Bible Version is good for ages 8 and up and I would recommend it more for boys. I would not give this as a gift Bible due to the flimsy structure of the book.

I have reviewed this book on behalf of Booksneeze.

On this Day in History by Robert Morgan

On this Day in History by Robert Morgan

I am doing a review on this book for Booksneeze.com

This novel is a Daily Devotion Book.  Each story in the book is about a hero, martyr or saint.   I have not read 1 page per day for an entire year but read it all within a few days.  It is very inspiring.  This is a perfect book for someone to read who needs a bit of inspiration as a daily reminder throughout the year.  The stories are short which makes it perfect for the busy person.

I did enjoy the bible verses for each day, and there were some encouraging stories that I still think about after reading.

Some stories are Happy outcomes and some are tragic., but each one will draw you to emotionally grasp a bit of the thought and motives of people in the stories in which they have desires just like yours and mine.

I highly recommend this book and Thank You Booksneeze for the opportunity of reviewing it.

Then Sings My Soul Special Edition By Robert Morgan

Then Sings My Soul Special Edition By Robert Morgan

I could not wait to get this book.  I absolutely love
Christmas!!  I have Christmas CD’s playing in my card in October.  When I
seen this book available on Booksneeze I jumped to get a copy of it.  The book has 150 Beautiful Hymns of Faith.  The book is full of incredible stories and
powerful messages.

The author’s goal is to keep these traditional hymns vital and meaningful to
all generations.
The devotional-style stories show the emotion and drama behind the hymns of
faith that have changed many lives throughout history -- the people whose faith
led them to write these wonderful hymns and the people whose faith was affected
by reading, hearing, and singing the songs. Designed to be personally
reflective, these stories speak to your soul and add depth and meaning as you
worship God through song.
I recommend this book to everyone. 

Thank You Booksneeze.

 

Heaven is for Real A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

Heaven is for Real A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

By Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent

I could not wait to receive this book.  I was so excited to see it available on Booksneeze.com.

Once I received it I read it in one day.  It was a heartfelt true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.   The boy had described and told the story of how he met his great grandfather who died long before he was born.

This book gives you faith that there is hope and that heaven is a wonderful place.  I loved this book and viewing heaven in the four year olds eyes and experience.

I would recommend this book to anyone having doubts about heaven.

Thank You Book Sneeze.

The Grace of God by Andy Stanley

The Grace of God by Andy Stanley

This is a Review for The Grace of God.

This was a good read.  It teaches you how God’s grace can and will transform you.   The author describes the true meaning of grace and how it cannot be earned, bought or even be deserved, but it is a gift given freely because of God’s love for us.

He takes the reader through the lives of Abram, Judah, Moses and the Israelites to explore God's grace as it pertains to relationship with God and with the Law.

I have read several other books on the topic of grace, and some have left me overwhelmed, confused, or thankful. This book however left me changed. With a deeper understanding of grace.

I do recommend to anyone.

Transforming Church in Rural America, written by Shannon O’Dell

Transforming Church in Rural America, written by Shannon O’Dell

This is a review for Transforming church in Rural America written by Shannon O’Dell.  I am reviewing this book on behalf of Booksneeze.

This novel focusing on rural churches in America and has a strong focus on the struggles going on in rural Christianity, with limited parishioners, no funds for repair or anything else, and little hope that things with change and will be restored to what it once was.

This book really hit home for me as I am from a small town, with a small church in which in is desperate need for repairs.  This book was a ray of hope for me and my small town.  It explains how to generate growth thru transformed lives, ways to create hope and faith in the community thru the people, frugal ways to change and help repair the church. 

This Book has been a true inspiration to me, no matter what size church you are part of this book will help you and challenge your tradition thinking and ways and force you to look further then the now and more on the what will be.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Booksneeze.com book review bloggers program.  I was not required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Adventures in Booga Booga Land – Volume 1 (DVD)

Adventures in Booga Booga Land – Volume 1 (DVD)

This is a review for a DVD called Adventures in Booga Booga Land – Volume 1 that I received via Booksneeze.  This is a cute DVD for Children.  It is based on Scriptures from the Bible.  They turn the scriptures into cute animated cartoon stories for kids.

Marty the Monkey and Gerard the Giraffe invite your kids to join them as they bungle their way through Booga Booga Land---and experience adventures based on Jesus' parables!

Includes "So This Is Booga" (Matthew 20:1--16), "Marty's Sandcastle" (Luke 6:47--49), and "No Light in This Lighthouse" (Matthew 5:14--16).

This DVD is a smart and fun way to get children involved in learning about Jesus, while still being able to to enjoy the cartoon.

Thank You Booksneeze, I will be passing this on to my nephews so they can enjoy it as much as I did.

Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half with America's Cheapest Family

Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half with America's Cheapest Family

I am writing a review for Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half with America's Cheapest Family by Steve and Annette Economides.   This is a great book for any size family.  There are only 2 in my family but I am always looking for ways to save.  Especially with Gluten Allergies food can be expensive so I am always looking for coupons or discounts as often as I can.  So when I seen this book available on Booksneeze I signed up for it right away.

This book tells the story of a family of 7 who share tips and suggestions on how to save money.  They gave extremely good points on price matching at big department stores as well as limited your trips to the grocery store monthly.   I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to save money especially in this economy with the high price of food.  Guaranteed everyone will come back with at least one tip or trick to try to save money.

Thank You Book sneeze for this book

Love and Respect for a Lifetime

Love and Respect for a Lifetime

I could not wait to receive this gift book.  My husband and I are married 2 years and this book has been great for us.  The book itself is hardcover with thick pages and well put together.  I started reading it immediately; it is based on decades of counseling and biblical research.  He shows couples how to have a more fulfilling marriage. 

The author helps married couples see how they unintentionally yet oftentimes shut down their spouse's spirit. Wives will learn to how to communicate so their husbands feel appreciated; husbands will learn how to love so their wives feel truly valued. Included are stories sharing how couples who were once without hope now enjoy fulfilling relationships. These are time tested solutions that will open hearts and pave the way to eliminating conflict, initiating change, and enjoying happiness for a lifetime together.

I would recommend this book for not only newlyweds but long-term married couples.  It gives you faith and teaches you there is a lot to a marriage.

This will be a great wedding or anniversary gift.

Thank You Book sneeze.

The Least among You (DVD)

The Least among You (DVD)

When I first seen this DVD available on Booksneeze I jumped for the change get it and be able to review it.  The cover of it makes the movie look so interesting especially on the top where it says inspired by a True Story.

It tells a story a man whom following his false arrest he, must serve a two-semester probation at an all-white racist seminary. The school's first black student is welcomed by its progressive president, But Richard soon learns that the school wants black followers not leaders. Even former missionary, rejects him. Facing a decision that will land him in prison, Richard meets an elderly janitor who lives in the basement of Richard's dormitory. As Samuel guides Richard through the trials of racism and his personal demons, Richard has to choose between his dream and his destiny.

This Movie was great to watch with my family; as well I will pass it on to friends and family to view as well.  In this world today there is still so much racism going on and this movie really brings everyone together thru God.

The Way Home (DVD)

The Way Home (DVD)


Let me first just say that when I say this as a selection thru booksneeze I could not wait to get it.

The Way Home (DVD) starring Dean Cain is a faith-based independent flim. It is a story based on a father who is a utility contractor whose youngest son goes missing on the family property. It shows how the family struggled and never lost hope. Even in there darkest hour God Gave them Hope.

The Way Home is an inspirational true story about how a rural community rallied around a distraught family to search for their missing two year-old boy and through doing so changed the lives of many of those involved.

I thought it was a great movie to watch with your family, it was a real tear jerker, I hope it actually comes out into a book as well.

Thank You again Book Sneeze, Great selection.
