Fun Kids Devotional

God Gave Us the Bible: 45 Favorite Stories for Little Ones is a very well done, hardcover introductory Bible for parents to read with their young children.  The kids will enjoy the pictures, which gives the parents the ability to talk about the page and what is happening as well.  The pages are glossy and thicker, which makes the book look and feel more attractive.

There's an interesting twist as it's Mama Bear who gathers her cubs and forest friends to tell them the story of God's love as we see in the Bible.

The goal was to highlight 45 foundational (author's opinion) passages which make a difference and young ones need to know about.

Overall, this is a kid friendly book which parents and grandparents will enjoy reading to children.  

Here's another picture from the book to show the fun nature of the book.

I received this from WaterBrook in exchange for an honest review.

Something Does Need to Change!

In his book, Something Needs to Change: A Call to Make your Life Count in a World of Urgent Need, David Platt has written in impassioned book about his journey, literally and spiritually.  Platt goes on a life changing journey and invites the reader to go along with him and discover needs which we do not see in the USA.

Platt prepared physically and spiritually for his journey to the rugged Himalayan mountains and trails.  Once there, he couldn't help but see the rampant poverty, human trafficking, the hunger, the waste and more problems than he realized in one area.  This led to a life changing experience because of the personal crisis he was experiencing.  This is what Platt sought to chronicle in this book which is very different than his others.

As the title suggests, Platt discovered that Something Needs to Change.  His hope is to challenge the readers to look at the world through the eyes of Christ.  To see a world which is broken and in desperate need of help.  As Platt writes, he is moved and moves the reader to consider how to bridge faith in Christ with social justice.  The two are not mutually exclusive.  You can sense the passion in the words of Platt.

Overall, this is a very moving and powerful book.
