Beth Moore just released a really good book called,  Get Out of That Pit: Straight Talk About God's Deliverance . And it is just perfect for those of us with a lot of baggage we like to tote around with us. Admittedly, this is the first Beth Moore book I've read. And now I can see why so many women name Moore as their favorite author. She's good. She writes in a conversational tone using life experiences relatable to most women. There's not a lot of pop-psychology and Christian-ease language in the book. It's not a typical self-help reader. Rather it's a book that makes you feel like you're sitting down to coffee with a trusted friend, sorting through some issues you've been struggling with. Really - it's that good. Get Out of That Pit  is an easy to read book that gets you really thinking about how and why God's people sometimes stay in their own homemade pit of despair when they could be living the life God made them for. It digs pretty deep ...

We just love love love this book. I was impressed with the artwork and the quality of workmanship in the book. I also loved that I could write the child's name in the book to further personalize it. The stories were written really well for young people. I enjoyed reading through them. I gave this book to a little girl turning 7. But I read some of the stories aloud to my daughter, who is 9 and son who is 7. They all really liked the stories and pictures. And the love letters are SOOOO good. They will touch the hearts of little girls and make an impact for sure. If you're looking for a book that your child will enjoy for years to come, try this one. It's really excellent. I would recommend this for girls of all ages.

Hello Stars is a really nice book for 8-12 year old. The focus of the story is a Christian girl aspiring to be an actress. The main character's name is Lena. Throughout the book, Lena learns how to balance stardom with real life, family and faith. My 8 year old daughter has enjoyed reading the book. She found it engaging and entertaining. I'm sure most young girls can relate with wanting to be an actress. I found it nice to know that this was a Christian book and that I didn't have to worry about the content being to "mature" for my daughter. On the contrary, the message of the book is inspiring and just right for most 8-12 year old girls. I recommend the book.

I love love love this Bible. It is great for kids (elementary age and up). But as an adult, I would use this too. It has really practical insights and illustrations in the page margins. The photos, drawings and maps really help tell the Biblical story and highlight the messages throughout. In the beginning of each book, there is a listing of the author, why the book was written, what happens in the book, key people, where the events take place, and stories in the book. There are extra illustrations as well. In the book of Ruth, there is an excellent map of Elimelek and Naomi's jouney. Later in the book is a picture of people gleaning fields - or picking up leftovers after the workers were finished. There's an explanation about it too. In chapter 3 or Ruth, there's an illustration of the threshing floor and definitions. Toward the end, there's a graphic showing Ruth's family tree and the line of Christ. For each of the other books in the Bible, there are simila...

What a fantastic devotional reader. I have been truly enjoying the short, daily readings in this small book. Joni Eareckson Tada writes about the depths of the human soul in such a relatable and authentic manner. This book reminds me of the classic devotional, Streams in the Desert , by L.B. Cowman, written in 1925. Both books offer a timeless message of hope, purity and devotion to God. In addition, if you know someone struggling with a physical disability or chronic pain, this book would make an excellent gift. The author is actually is a quadriplegic who is intensely familiar with pain in life. Reading her writings motivates me to push through difficulties and take full advantage of what God has given me. I've always enjoyed books by this author. So I was excited to read this one. And this daily reader didn't let me down. It's a perfect daily reading for a pause in our hectic days. I highly recommend this book for adults seeking a little more application to their da...

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this Bible. I ordered it for my daughter for Christmas and I can't wait to give it to her. We got the teal blue version and the patterns on the hard cover are just lovely. The quality of the design is great. It has an elastic band that acts as a bookmark. The space for journaling and drawing is really nice and will be perfect for the little girl who likes to write things down in her Bible or draw pictures in her devotional time. This is a really nice bible for girls. I know my daughter will really like it. I would recommend it for ages 8 through 20. Honestly, I'm 39 and I would carry this Bible and use it.

This is such a cute doll! We got it in the mail for review and my daughter just lit up. She immediately began playing with it and it is now her favorite doll (among waaay too many). The Charms Seven Carat doll is durable and so pretty. It has removable accessories (shoes, dress) and comes with a little butterfly pet. She's 13 inches tall and weighs over a pound. The box says Charms Seven Carat likes to dress up and pretend to be a royal princess. What little girl doesn't relate with that?! Retail price for Charms Seven Carat is $21.99. I would pay that much for a doll of such good quality. I would recommend this doll for girls up to age 8.
