Book: Summer’s Promise

About the book:
Can she leave everything she knows for love?

Summer Carson has lived near the Amish community in Paradise, Pennsylvania, all her life. Now she's following in her father's footsteps and earning her degree in agricultural science so she can continue his work helping local farmers.

In her job at the county extension office, Summer moves between the Englisch and the Amish worlds. While she sometimes finds herself speaking—and even thinking—in Pennsylvania Deitsch, the transition isn't always easy. But what has come naturally to Summer is her attraction to one of the farmers: Abram Yoder is handsome, steady, and hardworking. He's everything so many of the Englisch men she knows are not. And Summer quickly realizes that she's caught his eye as well.

Can Summer give up the comforts she's always known for a life with this Amish man? And is Abram willing to let her try?

My thoughts:
 Summer's Promise is the third book in the Harvest of Hope series by Barbara Cameron.  

I liked reading Summer and Abram’s story. Summer is working hard to finish college on top of working and helping her mother.  They are both grieving the loss of her father.  Summer also feels the burden of caring for her mother when she begins to notice her health and memory seems to be declining. She has a lot on her plate right now.  

Abram, an Amish man that lives nearby, comes along as a friend to Summer.  They both enjoy each other's friendship but don't know if they can have a relationship because they are from differing lifestyles.  

There were some things that confused me. I was not sure at first of Carl’s role and his relationship to Summer or her mother.  I was confused about his age and role. Also, I didn’t know why it suddenly said Abram had a cell phone since the Amish do not typically use them.  I couldn’t remember if I had missed it previously stating why he was allowed to have a phone.  There were parts of the book that didn't flow well in my opinion, parts felt choppy and needed to be more developed or left out.  

Overall I enjoyed the story.

I was not familliar with this author and had not read the others in this series.

I received a copy of this book from the Kregel blog tour for my honest review.  Thank you.

Book: The Better Mom

About the book:

In The Better Mom, Ruth Schwenk invites you to grow out of the "mess" of motherhood and into a place where you can grow as a better, happier mom. Ruth encourages you to embrace the refining work of the Holy Spirit to help you and your family not just survive, but thrive through the parenting years.

She says, "It's okay to come as we are, but what we're called to do and be is far too important to stay there! The way to becoming a better mom starts not with what we are doing, but with who God is inviting us to become."

About the author:
Ruth Schwenk is the founder of The Better Mom, and along with her husband, Patrick, the creator of For the Family. She is a pastor's wife, a mom of four energetic kids, a lover of coffee, and a dreamer of big dreams. She loves leading, speaking, and blogging. A graduate of Moody Bible Institute, Ruth is the coauthor of Hoodwinked and Pressing Pause. The Schwenks are the coauthors of For Better or for Kids. Ruth, Patrick, and their children live in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

My thoughts:
This is one of those books that it was a blessing to read as a Mom.  I guess I am often drawn to books on mothering and some are of course better than others.  This one did take me a little while to "get into."  I did enjoy reading it overall.

I like how each chapter focuses on a different pressure or issue a Mom may have. For example some of the chapter titles are: "I Want the Perfect Home," "I Have No Idea What I'm Doing," and "I Want to Make a Difference."  Moms will be able to relate to this book. It is real about the struggles Moms face, but it isn't overly negative (like another book on motherhood I recently read).  Another aspect I appreciated in this book was the biblical truths that are tied to each chapter. 

Here is a quote I appreciated as I have been thinking about my oldest son having four more years of high school.  I shared it on my Facebook page as I was reading this book. 
"Time is not our enemy. While it is often sobering to think about the future and the fleeting time we have, this is why we are raising our kids! We are not raising our kids to keep them. We are raising our kids to release them to God for his purposes." 

I received a copy of this book from Handlebar review program for my honest review.  Thank you.

Book: Parents Rising

About the book:
Raising kids in today’s society can be daunting. Wrong is called right, smartphones replace human interaction, families are fractured, and children aren’t maturing as quickly as they used to. In our ever-changing culture, parenting can sometimes feel like a losing battle.

“We want our much-loved children to grow up into a life of godliness and morality,” says Arlene Pellicane, author of Parents Rising: 8 Strategies for Raising Kids Who Love God, Respect Authority, and Value What’s Right (Moody Publishers/April 2018). “But our children won’t drift into a life of godliness and morality by accident. Because of the morally bankrupt world we live in, it takes a great deal of intentional parenting to provide structure and spiritual handrails to guide our children towards lives submitted to God.”

Pellicane, an author, speaker, popular media personality, blogger, wife, and mother of three, believes there’s too much at stake in eternity to sit on the sidelines or get sidetracked on a smartphone when it comes to parenting.

“The greater culture hangs on what happens in the microcosm of our homes,” says Pellicane. “We need to not be afraid to step up and lead our children. Our decisions won’t always be popular with our kids. But I think someday, our kids will thank us for being parents.”

“Parents, we must rise!” says Pellicane. “There is no better time than now. With every birthday, we get another year to influence our children to love the Lord and shine. Let us not waste our moments.”

About the author:

She and her husband have three children.

My thoughts:

Wow what a book!  Parents need to read this message AND apply it.  There are tons of parenting books out there but this one is worth your time.

Each chapter of the book is about a different strategy.  The 8 strategies are not hard to implement, and they are all very practical.  As I read I thought that they all seem to be parenting strategies that were once popular and  you saw used by many parents.  Now they are rare it seems.

I like that the author shares some facts but doesn't overshare facts and statistics like I've found in some books. One thing that made me sad (and I read aloud to my family) is how much reading books aloud  to children has decreased since the introduction of screens.  We read a lot of books at our house so this made me sad to read these statistics.

I recommend this book to all parents.  I have a teenager and a toddler, and the information in this book is helpful to me as a parent of both of these ages.

I read another book (Calm, Cool and Connected) I enjoyed by this author and reviewed it here.

My thoughts:
I have not completed this book yet; however, it has been a very enjoyable read so far. It is easy to follow and very interesting to learn how the foods we eat can cause inflammation.  Inflammation is a contributor to many common diseases we are facing today.  Just by changing your diet and removing the inflammatory foods you can reduce or reverse the effects of some diseases.

I was not sure if I would be able to read this book because I typically do not read this type of book. So far it has kept my attention with the stories and examples of success stories that Dr. Colbert has witnessed in his practice and his own life.

I would recommend this book to you and hope you will find it as beneficial as I have.

Thank you to the publisher for sending me a copy of this book for my honest review.

While typing this review I have one of the songs stuck in my head too!  Isn't that the point!

Board Book: The Best Christmas Gift EVER!

In this festive VeggieTales book, the Veggies are celebrating Christmas -- decorating the tree, singing carols, and exchanging gifts. But even though it's so much fun to give and receive presents, the Veggies all know that the greatest gift of all was God's gift of Jesus, his Son. Children will love the colorful art featuring their favorite Veggie friends. Parents can use this book to introduce little ones to the reason we rejoice at Christmastime -- Jesus' birth. Ages 2-5.

My thoughts:
This little board book is short and sweet, just right to read to toddlers/preschoolers.  The rhyming text reminds us of the fun of the Christmas season using the characters of VeggieTales.  They find out that Jesus is the best gift of all.  

I have never been a huge fan of the VeggieTales so I am not all that familiar with other pieces of work with these characters to compare it to.  This is a fun little book though, and I believe children will like it with its rhyming text and the fun, bright pictures.  

One thing I noticed is the characters in the nativity display on the cover seem to be vegetables also, but the sheep looks like a real sheep. Just something I noticed with the illustrations.  

This book was provided to me for my review with the Worthy Publishing blog tour.  Thank you.

In this little board book called The Berenstain Bears Love One Another by Mike Berenstain we see how the Bear family can show love to others.   The cubs find ways to show love to their family members and to others....setting the table, playing with their little sister, raking leaves.

This is a good book to read to young children (preschool aged) to learn about being kind and showing love.

The Berenstain Bears' Book of Prayers

The Berenstain Bears have always been a favorite of mine.  I have a new book to share with you called The Berenstain Bears' Book of Prayers by Mike Berenstain.

This is a board book appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers.  There are many short little rhyming prayers you can say with your little one as they go about their day. The prayers are divided into sections like "rise and shine," "joyful praise," "comfort," and "forgiveness."

The pictures are bright and colorful with the well-loved Bear family in various scenes.

I think this is a great little book to help youngsters get in the habit of praying during the day...not just at meals and bed time.  We can pray any time, and this is a good tool to help parents do just that!  I will be able to use this with my little guy.

You can purchase a copy of the book here.

Children's Board Books

What a cute set of board books for your little girl or guy!  Check out these two books God Made the Moon and God Made the Sun by Mary Manz Simon and illustrated by Lizzie Walkley.

We liked the rhyming text of these books and the fun illustrations.  They have a cutout in each page where the moon/sun appear on each set of pages.  Your little one will learn different ways the  moon blesses us in the night and how the sun is there for us in the daytime.  These books are not overly long but do have some educational points to them as they show things we can do at night or day.

My son and I enjoyed reading these books together.

Book: God Made You Just Right

About the book:
A bright and cheerful reminder that God made each of us special and unique.

 Here is a message that every parent will want to share with his or her child: You're brilliantly created and there is no one else like you! With easy-to-understand descriptions and simple, rhyming text, Jill Roman Lord shares the message that God created each of us in just the right way in a manner that even the youngest child will understand. Bright and engaging illustrations from Amy Wummer pair perfectly with the text and enhance the appeal of the book. Ages 2-5.

My thoughts:
What a cute little board book this is!  I like the rhyming text and how both physical attributes and personality traits are mentioned.  I thought the illustrations were great as well.  There is a boy on the front but in the book the pages alternate between both boys and girls so it is appropriate for either.  We are all uniquely created by God!  This would make a nice gift for a baby shower or for a special child in your life.

Book: The Second Half

We commonly hear of children being raised by their grandparents. That is the case in the book The Second Half by Lauraine Snelling. Main characters Ken and Mona have many plans to enjoy life as Ken is about to retire from the local University. They both look forward to that season of life, and then suddenly everything changes. Their son is deployed so they are left caring for two young grandchildren since their mother had previously abandoned them. How will Ken and Mona adjust to having two children in their house again? Will they be able to figure out a new routine with the kids while their plans have to be put on hold?

I enjoyed this book overall. Since I am not to this stage of life yet, I could not totally relate to the characters.  The author did a good job sharing the characters' feelings and emotions about having this sudden change in life.  The emotions they felt seemed to be how real people would feel if they experienced this change.  They love their grandchildren but were totally not expecting to have two of them moving into their home.  Plus they are worried about their son's safety during his deployment. Another aspect of this book I found interesting was depression.  I thought the examples given of how the character Mona felt and dealt with her depression during this season of life were insightful.  I have not faced this personally but found it to be helpful to know how people facing depression must feel daily.

This book is easy to read and a good story.  I'd also like to add that when I received the book in the mail, my 11 year old son read the back and wanted to read it.  He read it quickly and enjoyed it as well.     

This is a standalone novel.  You can visit Lauraine Snelling's website here to find out about this and other books.

Would a Worm Go on a Walk?

Would a worm go on a walk, if you could lead him down the street? / Would he wear his tiny tennies, if he had four worm-sized feet?

Would a Worm Go on a Walk? is a brand new book out this week.  It is written by Hannah C. Hall and illustrated by Bill Bolton.

This book contains questions about different animals and what they would do.  The point is to show how they are each uniquely created by God. They don't do those things because that is not what God made them to do.  The same is true for us as humans too!  He made each of us with special qualities, unlike anyone else, and we have a special purpose and function here.

I absolutely loved this book!  It has such great pictures to go along with the wonderful message. Please consider adding this to your child's library.  It would be a great gift for you to pick up for a special child in your life.

You can visit the author's website here.

Busy, Busy

Eileen Spinelli has written a delightful book called Busy, Busy!  This board book illustrated by Elina Ellis shows animals who are busy doing a variety of activities.....Mole is digging, Puppy plays with a ball, Ant drags away crumbs.  Even Mommy is busy in her garden, but she is never too busy to stop and give a hug.

This is a fun little rhyming book.  I loved the illustrations (the peacock is beautiful I thought!) and also appreciated that a variety of different animals were used that aren't always in children's books necessarily like peacock, ants, and a mole.

I would recommend this book for you to read with a very young child.

Bedtime Snuggles

Does your bedtime routine with your children include reading books?  Today I have a book to share with you that is sure to become a favorite to read before bed.  It's called Bedtime Snuggles by Patricia Reeder Eubank.

Animals are preparing for bed as the sun sets at the end of another day.  The sweet rabbits pictured on the cover are seen again in the book as well as several other animals like raccoons, owls, sheep, and mice. I liked that the names were given for the baby animals (colt, chicks, lambs, etc.).  Also the illustrations are very nicely done and will appeal to little ones.

This is a board book which makes it a great choice for young readers, preschool and under.

Lift the Flap Bible

I was so excited to be able to review this book called Lift the Flap Bible by Karen Williamson and illustrated by Louise Anglicas.  My son always enjoyed "lift the flap" books when he was a toddler, and I thought this one would be great to have for our new baby!

About the book:
What's under the flaps? Find out in this collection of eight very simple Bible stories in a large cased board book format. Each story is told across a double-page spread and there are flaps on every page. Bright, quirky illustrations full of wit and color from Louise Anglicas are perfect for this engaging introduction to Bible stories. Stories are: Noah and the Ark, Moses and the Bulrushes, Daniel and the Lions, Jonah and the Great Fish, Born in a Stable, Boy with Loaves and Fishes, The Lost Sheep, and Man Lowered Through the Roof.

My thoughts:
I thought this was a great little book. The pages are large and I liked that the flaps were big pictures. There are about 3-4 flaps per story.  The art work and pictures are wonderful.  I always like it when books for young children have bright, colorful images of "extras" like birds, animals, flowers, etc. that you can use to identify colors, shapes, etc. as you read the book. The stories that are included are biblical favorites, and only minimal text is used with the pictures.

This book was sent to me by Kregel for my honest review. Thank you.

Book: My Little Life of Jesus

Today I want to share a nicely done children's book called My Little Life of Jesus by Karen Williamson and illustrated by Amanda Enright.

About the book: 
My Little Life of Jesus introduces the story of Jesus' life to 3-to 5-year-olds. It follows Jesus from His birth, being baptized by John, meeting the disciples and teaching them how to pray, telling His stories to people in nearby towns and villages, right through to His return to the heavenly Father. Illustrated throughout with adorable artwork from a popular Candle Books artist, there is also a map included to show the land where Jesus lived. This padded hardcover comes complete with a presentation page for gift or award giving.

My thoughts:
I've looked at my children's Bible story books and found this one to be a good one for the most part. I like the book's size and padded hardcover. I found the illustrations to be appealing, and I appreciated the bright colors. I find many children's Bibles have what I consider to be odd illustrations of characters but that was not the case with this book. I like the variety of stories included as it seems some of them were not typically included in children's story Bibles. This one even has a picture of the three crosses which many do not include. (It is in the distance and does not show anything bloody or gruesome so is appropriate for this age.) I like the minimal text on each page plus the biblical reference to look up the story in context. 

One thing I had to look up was that it says Jesus got his own donkey to ride before entering Jerusalem. I looked it up to make sure I was correct that Jesus actually sent two disciples to get the donkey for Him. 

Overall I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to sharing it with our new baby.

I was sent this book by Kregel Blog Tour Publications for free in exchange for my honest review.  Thank you.

Love & War by John and Stasi Eldredge

I'd like to share a book I'm reading right now. It's called Love & War: Finding the Marriage You've Dreamed Of by John and Stasi Eldredge.

From the publisher:
What the Eldredge bestsellers Wild at Heart did for men, and Captivating did for women, LOVE & WAR will do for married couples everywhere. John and Stasi Eldredge have contributed the quintessential works on Christian spirituality through the experience of men and the experience of women and now they turn their focus to the incredible dynamic between those two forces.

With refreshing openness that will grab readers from the first page, the Eldredges candidly discuss their own marriage and the insights they’ve gained from the challenges they faced. Each talks independently to the reader about what they’ve learned, giving their guidance personal immediacy and a balance between the male and female perspectives that has been absent from all previous books on this topic. They begin LOVE & WAR with an obvious but necessary acknowledgement: Marriage is fabulously hard. They advise that the sooner we get the shame and confusion off our backs, the sooner we'll find our way through.

LOVE & WAR shows couples how to fight for their love and happiness, calling men and women to step into the great adventure God has waiting for them together. Walking alongside John and Stasi Eldredge, every couple can discover how their individual journeys are growing into a story of meaning much greater than anything they could do or be on their own

My thoughts:
I am not finished with this book yet but I am enjoying it. The thoughts shared by the authors seem to be common stories that happen in many marriages. I look forward to finishing this book.
You can buy the book online here. This was book was provided for review by WaterBrook Multnomah.
