Stories About Jesus

Stories About Jesus written by Gwen Ellis is the perfect book to give as a gift to any young child, as it takes Bible stories and teaches them to children in an easy-to-understand manner. Each page has a specific topic, with a Bible verse, story of what happened in that Bible verse with a picture young children will like, and also questions that a parent can ask a young child. I like that the book can be a first time devotional for young children.

Some of the stories are God’s Baby Son Grows Up, Jesus Heals a Sick Boy, Jesus Walks on the Water, A Blind Man Sees Again, One Lost Sheep, One Man Says Thank You, and Jesus Goes to Heaven. Each topic is told in a manner that is easy for young children to understand, and I cannot wait to give this book to my younger relatives to enjoy.

Left at the Altar: My Story of Hope and Healing for Every Woman Who Has Felt the Heartbreak of Rejection

Left at the Altar: My Story of Hope and Healing for Every Woman Who Has Felt the Heartbreak of Rejection by Kimberley Kennedy was the most recent book I read. Although I am not married or engaged, I thought it might be an interesting read for the mere fact that at some point in life, everyone has felt some type of rejection, be it from a relationship, friends, or even family. I can honestly say I enjoyed this book, and I would recommend it to others, married or not.

Kimberley Kennedy is a media personality who works in the Atlanta area and is set to marry her fiancee Lew. As they are preparing for their wedding at the rehearsal, Lew shared that he could not marry Kimberley. Kimberley tells her story of rejection, and the anger she felt toward God after her relationship fell apart. She uses Bible verses as a way to show women how a relationship with Christ should be the central matter in their lives. I really enjoyed how honest and real she was in the telling of her story, and I found myself not wanting to put the book down.
