Chris Tomlin Gospel CD "Holy Roar" Review/ Giveaway

   In his latest CD, "Holy Roar",  Chris Tomlin has truly outdone himself and told about Jesus  in song that is so beautiful.  As the songwriter behind the worship favorites 'How Great Is Our God,' 'Our God,' and 'Whom Shall I Fear,' Chris Tomlin's songs have been a large part of the collective voice from the church for years. Holy Roar is a response to that collective voice. Featuring 'Resurrection Power' and the new single 'Nobody Loves Me Like You,' this brand-new album has songs written specifically for the church that run the spectrum of worship from personal reflections to shouts of praise. Coming alongside Holy Roar is the re-release of the book of the same name, co-written by Tomlin and Darren Whitehead, pastor of Church of the City in Franklin, TN.
  You really must buy this album!  You will be uplifted and  feel the love of God from the very first song.  I know you will not be disappointed  when you listen to this album I promise.  

"In The Flesh" a book by Michael Gabriele

  I recently read a remarkable book that was written by the author  Michael Gabriele.  This book is titled, "In The Flesh".  It is written from the view of Jesus himself.  The most remarkable story ever told is written as Jesus felt, loved and died.  Walk with Jesus from 3 years before his death, to his death, then the resurrection.
  I love the story of Jesus and his walk on Earth as a human through the picking of the apostles and on up until the crucifixion.  Having read the Bible, watched movies and heard the story, I definitely know the ending, but never have I thought about how Jesus actually felt during those times.  Michael Gabriele places you in the sandals of Jesus and you come about as close to the real thing as possible.

365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids Review/Giveaway

  365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids is a book full of questions that are answered about God.  I was amazed at some of the questions that I didn't know the answers to myself, so this book is great for adults as well as children.
  Questions about God, the Bible and Faith are answered in a way that points children to God in a loving way.  This book includes topics such as:  God, time, God's promises, Jesus, the Old Testament, the New Testament, prayer, holidays, Christian seasons and traditions, being a Christian and Eternity.
  One of the questions is: "What is the Trinity?" and the answer is, "who is the Trinity - God, God's son and God's Holy Spirit".  "The Trinity is a way to describe God.   There is more to the answer, where this question is found in the Bible and a prayer at the bottom of the page.
  There are also many "Want to Know More?" cross-referencing at the bottom of some devotions for the child who wants to learn more.

CrossFlix Christian Television - Try to Win a 1 Year Free Subscription Review/Giveaway

  Are you tired of having your family watch horrible, trashy, vulgar and filthy shows on the movie channels you pay for monthly?  Well, as Christians my family has really been deeply concerned with the sexual innuendo these movies keep passing on as "big hits" and trying to draw our children into watching.
  I was so lucky to have Front Gate Media allow me to offer my blog and one of my lucky readers a chance for a 1 year free subscription to Cr0ssfl!x !  The movies there are the best in faith oriented entertainment.  You can see movies such as "Like A Country Song", by Billy Ray Cyrus, "Revive Us" with Kirk Cameron, "Gallows Road" with Kevin Sorbo.  Watch hundreds of documentaries and their kid selection of movies are amazing: Shirley Temple movies, Lassie movies and "A Dog For Christmas" are just a few.  These oldies are so good for children to be able to see the clean and decent movies we adults grew up watching.

"Christmas Love Letters From God" - A Book for Children Review/Giveaway

  "Christmas Love Letters From God"  is an amazing book for children written by Glenys Nellist and illustrated by Rachael Clowes.  This book begins with the story of Isaiah's prophecy and ends with the coming of the three wise men to see the baby Jesus.  There are seven amazing stories that explain the birth of Jesus so simply that a child as young as 4 can understand it.  I have a 5 year old and he loved every minute of these stories.
  After each story there is an envelope with a letter inside from Jesus.  This letter is addressed to (blank) so you can add your child's name in the space.  It is signed, "From, God".

Jesus Sees Us Doll & Book Review

 Just in time for Easter- the Jesus Sees Us Doll & Picture Book!  I reviewed this adorable, soft bodied Jesus doll and the book that is included, and I can truly say my grandson will not put this doll down.  My grandson is barely 3, but he knows about Jesus and he carries this doll everywhere he goes.  I read the stories from the book to him every night and he is already associating Jesus with good deeds, forgiving, prayer and more.
