Teach your children the story of Christmas . . . starting from creation! In Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas, children will discover that God always had a plan for Christmas.

Christ was chosen before the world was made.

—1 Peter 1:20

The Christmas story began long, long ago. Before the angel Gabriel told Mary she would have God’s Son. Before the shepherds saw the angels and before the wise men saw the star.

Even before the sun and the moon shone for the first time, before the first cows ever moooed and the first monkeys ever climbed! Before Adam and Even took their first walk in the Garden of Eden, God had a plan for Christmas.

From the beginning of time, God had a plan to save his children. That plan was Jesus!

Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas is a beautifully embellished jacketed hardcover with foil and glitter. Curl up with your little ones around the Christmas tree with Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas.

My Review:

From the author of the Jesus Calling devotionals comes he story of Christmas starting at Genesis.  A good background of the story of Jesus, telling of his earthly lineage and of the fact that before time He was.  The illustrations are simple yet colorful, the book jacket has glitter.  This is a good book for your young reader.

Book Description

From New York Times bestseller Rory Feek, one half of the singing duo Joey+Rory, comes The Cow Said Neigh!, a fun and humorous tale of farm animals who wish they were like the other animals . . . which leads to a farm-full of confusion! This delightful book will be a family favorite for years to come.

The Cow Said Neigh! is the story of some peculiar farm animals who wish they were like other animals on the farm. The cow wants to run free like a horse, the sheep wants a snout like a pig, the dog wants to be inside like the cat. Soon the entire farm is in chaos!

With silly farm animal sounds, clever rhymes, and adorable art, The Cow Said Neigh! will have kids of all ages laughing out loud as they celebrate the unique strengths in each of us.

This delightful picture book is sure to be read time and time again.

My Review:

The pictures in this book are nice and colorful and writing is in rhyme.  The letters on the page are large.  But the story is a nonsensical story about a farm where the animals all want to be something else.  There is no sense to the story as it ends with the farmer also deciding to be something else.

I would not recommend this book and give it a 1 out of 5 stars.

Book Description

When tragedy strikes, can two young Amish people find the hope that lies on the other side?

Laura Riehl is no stranger to heartache. Less than a year after her mother’s death, Laura finds herself burying another loved one: her best friend, Savilla, who has died after a brief and sudden illness. Laura feels heartbroken and alone, but her pain is nothing compared to that of Allen, the husband Savilla has left behind. He now faces a life so different from the one he imagined—plus a baby to care for on his own.

When Laura offers to help Allen with baby Mollie, he jumps at the opportunity until a permanent solution can be found. She’d do anything to lend a hand to Allen and to honor her best friend’s memory. Rudy, Laura’s boyfriend, is initially supportive of her plan, but the more time Laura spends with Allen, the more jealous and frustrated Rudy seems to become.

As Laura and Allen face hardships together, their friendship takes a surprising yet comforting turn—and she discovers an attraction she’s never felt with Rudy. Would falling for Allen betray the people she cares about most, or would denying those feelings betray her heart? This latest installment in the Amish Homestead series returns us to Lancaster County, home of the beloved Riehls, where a family’s strength—and advice from a new friend—may help Laura find God’s direction.

My Review

Amy Clipston brings us another book from Bird In Hand, Pennsyvania.  This is another of the Amish Homestead series, but book 2 stands by itself, you don’t need to read book 1. The plot was predictable but had enough twists and turns to make this a different kind of Amish fiction.  My mother is a fan of Amish fiction and has been waiting for this book to arrive so she could read it when I am done.

The characters were well developed. Allen was a devoted father and a hardworker. Rudy was both immature, somewhat controlling, and self-absorbed as he showed little concern for Laura in the difficulties she faced  Laura was a very caring person and showed her concern for both Allen and Mollie in everyday life and activities

This heartwarming story deals with some of the heavy stuff of life. Loss of a spouse, grief, insecurity; things that aren’t fun but are real. And through it all is God; forgiveness, compassion, and love. Second chances. I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars.

My Review

This book has cute Bible stories that your little one will love.  The book is a sturdy board book so it will hold up well with your small child.  A good book to read with them at story time.  It will make a nice addition to an Easter basket.  The illustrations were not good as I liked, they were more pastel and subdued than vibrant which would catch a small child’s eye better.

All in all I would rate this a 4 out of 5 stars.
