Review & Giveaway: Under the Sea Holy Bible

The Under the Sea Holy Bible, NIrV is a perfect gift for children ages 6 to 10. Themes of underwater fun and sparkling fish grace the interior of this wonderful children’s Bible. The outside is covered in foil and sparkle. The interior has color inserts featuring whimsical underwater scenes with themes of God’s care and love for each of us and all of creation.

My Review: My 7 yr old was so excited when this came in the mail! He had been asking for a Bible of his own and his very playful personality was tickled that he would be the recipient of such an exciting looking Bible! The pictures inside are fun and captivating but like with most children's Bibles, the words on those fun pages are not just watered down but actually share thoughts that contradict the Bible itself! We will be explaining to my son the difference between God's written word and man's added thoughts and we will certainly make sure he knows what the 10 Commandments really say and not the indoctrinated version presented on the fun page added to the Bible. While making it easier to understand some of the Commandments, the author completely twisted the 4th commandment altogether and I just had to state that and get it off my chest. Exodus 20 clearly states WHICH day of the week is the Sabbath day...we mere humans do not get the luxury to pick which day that is, even though this Bible version's commentary tells us that we can.

It's a fun looking Bible and I may just tear our the commentary parts (only 3 pages) but all in all I think it's pretty good. It has a little dictionary at the back, as well as a list of all the famous Bible stories and where to find them. A great beginning Bible for my 7 yr old to start reading with!

Review and Giveaway: The Mustard Seed

The story of The Mustard Seed begins with Sara, a ten-year-old girl in a small country town, who startles her family when she inexplicably begins to heal others afflicted with fatal conditions, making her overnight an unlikely media celebrity. As if that weren’t enough, she insists all the while that the healing was done not by her but by Jesus, whom she sees walking on a lake!

But was she really alone in seeing Jesus?

As the story unfolds, Sara’s life takes an unexpected twist that bewilders her entire community.

Besides being a compelling read, Sara’s story makes for an exhilarating spiritual experience.

My review:
I quite enjoyed this book! It was an easy book to read and I certainly did NOT want to put it down! It was really quite gripping, and very easy to relate to the characters. I was thankful I was reading the ebook late at night all by myself as I had tears streaming down my face at different times. It was also nice to see a book that showed the simplicity that Jesus wants His followers to have. We adults tend to overthink everything and over complicate life, yet Scripture says that we need to have the faith of a child. Simple and trusting.
I would recommend this book to anyone of any faith background. Even though I did not see eye to eye with the authors choice of doctrine, it was still a very encouraging read.
