The Beginner's Bible Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

My family loves the Zondervan Beginner's Bible. We have owned several copies over time and have loved those books until the pages were tattered and the covers were worn. Having owned this Bible previously, the first thing I noticed when I opened this copy was the pictures. The colors and pictures are revised and updated. They are so much more vibrant that they were in the previous version. As far as I can tell, the stories remained the same, but the updating done to this version of the Bible will help it continue to be a premiere Bible for young children.

The stories found in The Beginner's Bible are well selected to give young children an overview of the Bible while giving them some of the most well known and loved stories from the Bible. If you take a peek at the video below, I think you'll see what I mean. I'm so excited to have a new and updated copy of this Bible...especially now that my children are a little older and treat books with care. I expect this copy of the Beginner's Bible to last us for many years to come.

When Jesus was a Green Eyed Brunette Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my review.

I work part-time in a job that started as a "Holiday Seasonal" position. I happen to work for a toy company and Christmas is the busiest time of the year. Working with customers day in and day out, I become a little jaded against people by this point in the year. Everyone wants something, I deal with lots of impatience and anger each day, and I have trouble finding the "Peace that Passes Understanding" and keeping compassion in my heart.

This book absolutely gob-smacked me. I was floored by revelation after revelation from the Holy Spirit of how God moves and works in us today. The book is written quite humbly by Max Davis and he shows us that each and every one of us can sometimes forget the depth of love that Jesus has for us in His heart. These are short chapters and I took to reading them as a sort of devotional. One each day to meditate on and hold me through until the next day. Something to focus on when I was dealing with angry people who were putting me in a position where I was about to not show the love of Christ.

I am loving this book and hope you will consider giving it a read. It is worth the time. I also have a copy to give away (see below). Have a very Merry Christmas and let Christ rule in your hearts all year round!


From the Publisher:

About the Book:When Jesus Was a Green-Eyed Brunette weaves heartwarming and miraculous stories of Jesus showing up in ordinary people, revealing that He knows us and is fully present in our everyday circumstances, especially in our difficulties. Those hurting and weary from worn-out religion are longing for a fresh touch from the living Jesus. Best-selling author Max Davis challenges us to do more than simply receive God’s grace—we need to allow grace to soften, change, and shape us. As you read this book you will laugh, cry, and come face-to- face with the living Jesus, much like Davis did, when he found Him living in a green-eyed brunette. As Davis puts it, “Jesus is very much alive today and still does incredible things—sometimes supernatural things—through us!”

About the Author:Max Davis is the author of over 20 published books and has been featured in USA Today and Publishers Weekly and has appeared on The Today Show and The 700 Club. He holds degrees in Journalism and Biblical Studies and is a much sought-after speaker for churches and organizations worldwide. He and his wife, Alanna, live on 50 beautiful acres in Greenwell Springs, Louisiana.
