Great Couple's Devotional

My husband & I have tried the several couple's devotionals, and without fail, we get through 5 or 6 lessons and then we end up tossing the book aside. Most of the time, the devotionals cater more towards the women's needs , which makes it hard for my husband to become engaged. None the less, we read Love & Respect when we were engaged about 2 years ago and loved it, so when we heard that Eggrich was coming out with a couple's devotional, we were stoked. We have really enjoyed this book together.

First of all, this devotional comes bound in a beautiful leather, making it ideal to give as a gift (I think it would be a great wedding gift.) There are 52 lessons for the couple to go through, and while the author says that he intends for the couple to go through them at their own pace, it is ideal for some couples to go through one devotional a week for a year. There is a small section about love and respect, followed by an action and prayer. All in all, this devotional should take couples anywhere from 15-30 minutes to complete each time.

My husband was particularly drawn to this book, as it is guy friendly. I am confident we will actually finish this devotional together! I recommend this book to couples looking for a boost in their marriage.

Thank You, God, For Blessing Me

"Thank You, God, For Blessing Me" is a board book written as a part of the "Little Hermie" series by Max Lucado. This hardback book contains a sweet little poem about all that Hermie is thankful for. It's size is perfect for tiny hands to hold! My 7 month old daughter loved this book, and it is often hard to keep her attention. I was excited to receive this book and look forward to reading the other "Little Hermie" books as well. I highly recommend this book to parents of children aged 0-3. 

The Blessing

This is a book every parent, teacher, and spouse should read. As a Christian, we know in our hearts that children are a blessing from the Lord, but sometimes when those little bumps in the road come, or things do not seem to go our way, it is hard to live it out. This book will change why you do things, not out of selfish motive, but out of an overflow of the heart which points upward to Christ.

Billy Graham

Billy Graham has no doubt been one of the most influential men of the evangelical moment. He has lead hundreds of thousands to Christ, and even though he no longer actively preaches, he still impacts people today. I personally think that you can discover a lot about a person from the words they say. It is one thing to be told "Billy Graham was a spiritual giant who knew and feared the Lord" and to read his very own thoughts throughout the decades. I really enjoyed this particular book, released by Thomas Nelson. This book has over 100 different subjects and which Billy Graham has spoken and is quoted. This would be a great book if you are wanting to use it as a resource and look something up quickly about a particular subject, rather than sit down and read the book cover to cover. This is a great book, and a true treasure to those who like to read quotes.

Awesome Board Book!

With a little 7 month all over the place, I am always looking for great board books. These are great for her, especially since she wants to put EVERYTHING into her mouth. With board books, all I have to do is clean them off with a wipe, and we go on our merry way. Problem is though, there aren't too many quality Christian board books out there.
I was thrilled when I discovered "God Gave Us You" came in a board back form. We have all of the "God Gave Us..." books by Lisa Bergren, but since my daughter is so little, I don't like giving paper books to her since I know it will just get eaten.
This book is about a little cub who learns that he was a gift from God. Mama bear goes into detail telling the cub all that she and Papa bear did preparing for little cubs arrival. At the end of each page she says, "Yes, my special child. God gave us you." I always want my children to know that and be reminded of the fact that they are a special gift from God. My daughter and I have already read this several times. Even though she is only 7 months old, I don't think I could tell her enough.
I would highly, highly recommend this book to all parents of young children or expectant parents!
