Still Picking up the Pennies

Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic is a very inspirational and enthusiastic book. It has helped me see that no mater what life brings me today, God has a plan for my life. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

What are you waiting for by Author Dannah Gresh. I loved reading this book. I only wish I had read it when I was a young unmarried woman. I think I would have really done a lot of things differently. This book is a must for young Christian women. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

God Gave Us So Much is a wonderful book. As I read it with my two young sons, so many of their own questions where answered. This is a collection of three different stories: God Gave Us the World, God Gave Us Love, and God Gave Us Heaven. My favorite character is Little Cub, she asks questions that a lot of children would ask. The grown ups in her life do a great job us answering and explaining things on a child's level. I know I will read this book over and over to my two boys. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

I have to say this book is a great conversation starter. I read it with my two sons, age 11 and 7, afterward they were just full of questions about what the book really represented. My 11 year old, made the connection of the God creating the bears to be all special and different on the outside but still all the same on the inside. It is a great book, I can't wait to read more in the series.

The Bridge of Peace is the first book I have really enjoyed and could not put down in a long time! What a wonderful love story! I was so moved by the entire book. I am not Amish or know too much about the Amish ways of life, and that does not matter. If you enjoy good people winning in the end this book is for you! My favorite character was Lena, even with a birth mark on her face; she learned people that love her can see past her outside appearance. I would recommend this book to my pals.

This book contains two stories about two Janes. The first story of Jane is during modern time, she manages an antique shop and finds a ring. The second Lady Jane a historical figure who's story is told through the voice of her seamstress Lucy Day. The stories both relate to one another in the way that they seem to have been forced down certain paths in life, but later learn they are both responsible in similar ways for making their circumstances what they are. They both feel a certain new found freedom and satisfaction in this knowledge. I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. Bloggingforbooks.org

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. The Dragon and the Turtle I read this book to my two young sons, and we all really enjoyed the book. The story is about finding a new friend and helping him find his way home. The two main characters are very likable. Padraig is a dragon, who was hunting bugs. Roger is a turtle that has lost his way. The two become quick friends but also discover they have differences. I really like the fact that there is a Bible verse at the end of the book. My boys and I enjoyed talking about they story using some of the suggested topics. I have to add the illustrations are just remarkable.
