God's Promises Devotional Journal

Book Description: "A guided journal to lead you through the promises God has for every believer. More than 20 of our leading Christian authors bring inspiration and encouragement every day of the year. Guided questions and commentary gently lead the way for personal meditation and reflection on God’s promises for your life. Journaling space is provided for recording your thoughts and prayers, and for promoting quality quiet time alone with the Lord."

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to review this devotional. I have been searching for a book just like this for some time now and hadn't been able to find exactly what I was looking for until now. For each day of the week there is a bible verse, a short commentary from a leading Christian author and then a question to make you examine your life and your walk with God along with space to journal your answers. What I like about this devotional is that there is enough journaling space (at least for me) that I am planning on writing the date next to my entries and use this same devotional again next year. It will be interesting to see how my life has changed in a year as well as my answers to the same questions. The questions are thought provoking and the commentary is very insightful. Not only that but is has a beautiful hardcover with a leaf design. This is one I will use for years to come. I highly recommend this devotional!!

The Velveteen Bible

NKJV Children's Bible. A sweet addition to the Tommy Nelson Baby/Toddler Bible line, using an adorable image of a flocked velvet bunny.

Inspired by Baby's First Bible with the adorable fuzzy duck cover, this new offering for little ones, The Velveteen Bible features soft fur and a fuzzy tail! Inside, the New King James Version scripture is accompanied by whimsical images of bunnies and other baby animals, colorful borders, and lovely sentiments from the scriptures. The Bible is packaged in a keepsake treasure box.

The is an adorable little bible. The size is perfect for little hands and would be a wonderful gift bible for any little one in your life. The pictures inside the bible are very cute and I loved the fuzzy feel of the rabbit on the outside. I was hoping based on the description of this bible that it would be more of a beginers bible and easier for little ones to read. It is not, it is the NKJV bible and the print is very small. There also aren't as many pictures as I was expecting to find on the inside. This disappointed me because while the bible covering and inside pictures are cute, they won't hold the attention of my little ones for very long. I was hoping this bible would get them interested in wanting to read the bible but the words are small and to a little one very intimidating. 

With that being said I still think this is a wonderful version of the bible and I know several young ones who would love to carry this bible with them to church every week. If you are looking for a gift bible for any little one in your life and are wanting a full version bible that they can grow up with and read when they are older, not a beginners bible then this one fits the bill.

The Beginning Reader's Bible

This exceptionally illustrated Bible storybook allows children to read the story, pray to God, and grow closer to Him.


Using actual Bible text from the International Children's Bible® as well as prayers, memory verses, and fun activities, children will love this large format and be engrossed in the intricate detail of the illustrations. Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments are included and stories are accompanied by a prayer for the child to pray, a verse to memorize, and a fun activity to help them grow.

I teach the 4 & 5 year old Sunday School class at my church. This book is a great resource for me to use in that class. The illistrations are wonderful. The kids really get a feel for the story and it helps them to understand the story better. I was impressed at how many stories were included in the book. I wasn't crazy about the version of the bible that was used because some of the words were changed from say the KJV or NKJV version which is what I like to use. Also, this is more of a storybook than a beginning readers bible. I was expecting it to be something my kids could somewhat read themselves but it definately needs to be read to them. Overall this is a great book and I would highly recommend it!
