** THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED **
Thanks to some wonderful publishing companies that I am a member of their blogging review programs, I get to review some wonderful Christian books. Today's giveaway is a perfect example!
Review: From Thomas Nelson Press, this little devotional from Sarah is chock full of Christian advice that children can easily understand. If you click on the widget above, you can see sample pages. I like that the pages follow the calendar, but not a set year. This means it can be used over and over. As adults, we know that reading something a year apart you may have new insight, or your experience will color how you now perceive the reading. In this regard, devotionals are invaluable.
Contest will end on October 27th, at midnight. Winner will be picked by Random Number (random.org) on October 28th, and emailed. As soon as winner's info is received, I will mail the book to the winner, within the week!

Synopsis: Based on her original Jesus Calling, this version has been adapted in a language and fashion that kids and tweens can relate to their everyday lives.
After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down what she believed He was saying to her through Scripture. Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her devotionals. They are written from Jesus’ point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless readers, and now young readers, with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.
About the Author:
Sarah and her husband have traveled around the world planting churches and counseling. They currently are ministering to a Japanese-speaking community in Australia.

Review: From Thomas Nelson Press, this little devotional from Sarah is chock full of Christian advice that children can easily understand. If you click on the widget above, you can see sample pages. I like that the pages follow the calendar, but not a set year. This means it can be used over and over. As adults, we know that reading something a year apart you may have new insight, or your experience will color how you now perceive the reading. In this regard, devotionals are invaluable.
On each page there is a subject, followed by a biblical quote, the devotional and then a bible section for your child to read on their own, that relates to the devotional for the day. An example, for today, the topic is: Tough It Out, the quote: "You know that you learn to endure by having your faith tested. James 1:3 ". The devotional is basically Tough it out sounds great for sports, but not so much for your life. But it is a fact that you WILL have troubles in your life. You need to stand strong, expect them, call on God to help, and survive. Then praise God for getting you thru the struggle. The related chapter is: James 1"2-3 and Psalms 107:21-22
This is a great devotional and I would highly recommend it for say 2nd grade on up. It would make a great Christmas present as well!
