::My Thoughts::
I have really loved this bible for my oldest son. He is constantly reading it, and he understands what he is reading. The language is very understandable which means younger kids can really think about what they are reading. It is an imitation leather cover with a blue chevron print. Absolutely wonderful design for any young man to have. 
There is a very helpful dictionary in the back so you can search by topics, etc. There are full color maps, and even an attatched blue ribbon so you can hold your place. It is slim enough to easily carry along with you to church, school, etc. My son was so excited when I presented this bible to him. He had been wanting a more "adult" bible for some time, and this was just the one. It is a very durable bible, and would make a fantastic gift for any occasion or even just because.

::About this bible::

This beautiful Bible for your little princess features a lavender cover with intricate pearl design.

Does your little princess love all of the popular princess animated programs, birthday accessories, and princess accessories? Now you can get her excited about God’s Word with her very own pretty princess Bible! This new Bible features the easy-to-read ICB^® translation with larger type for easy reading. The text includes bold subject heads, more than 300 highlighted key verses, and full-color inserts of Bible study helps.

The new Purple Pearl Princess Bible will make a wonderful birthday, baptism, or Sunday school graduation gift to celebrate the precious princess in your life!

::My Thoughts::
This is really a must have Bible for your little Princess. It is sturdy, pretty, purple, has little pearl embellishments, texture, glitter, and even has a crown on the front of it! There is a purple ribbon to hold the readers place, and a page where you can "present" this bible to your young one. It has a place for name, and all. This makes it a great gift to give. This Bible is just all around adorable.
The terms are easy for younger children to understand, and there is so much this bible offers. It offers an index, dictionary, maps, verses to remember, etc. This Bible includes the old and new testaments as well so no worries on that front. I get frustrated at times when I find only one or the other.
It is geared for younger girls around third grade and up. Of course this depends on your child's reading level, and if you will be reading along as well. I never like to go off age recommendations alone since everyone is different. It is worded so that it is very easy to understand for young children, without leaving anything important out. This is a big plus because usually when re-wording things, especially any bible, it can be easy to leave things out. This book does not do that.
The bible keeps with the princess theme throughout so you will find lots of fun pages inside. Most of all the pages are extremely thin, as all bible pages are, so this would maybe not be the best fit for a very young child. Very young children can get kind of rough with the pages. It is a hardcover book which is wonderful, and will hold a lot better vs one with a paper cover. It also adds a lot of elegance which I appreciate.
This is just a lovely book for any little girl, filled with God's word, and just a way to show them they are all God's Princesses.

The inScribed Collection - A Collection of Studies by Women

I am proud and pleased to say that I got to wonderful opportunity to review the inScribed Collection from Thomas Nelson publishers. The inScribed Collection is a series of bible study books for women that help them become closer to God and cover many challenges Christian women face.
What I love about these books is they are not all written by one author, but different women so you are getting many different experiences, points of views, and advice.
The inScribed Collection is a fantastic bible study series to read on your own, or as a larger group. Each book is easy to delve right into and just get lost in. I also believe every woman can take something away from each book, and bring yourself closer to God.
Below I've included my thoughts on each book as well as a bit about each book:

Dive Deeper by: Jenifer Jernigan
Finding deep faith beyond shallow religion

In this book find out the difference between knowing the Bible and actually understanding the Bible. Written by a preacher's daughter d.i.v.e. deeper right along with her. Get out of your safe zone with this book and come to really understand Scripture, deepening your relationship with Jesus beyond your own thoughts. While I read this book I realized that while I know the Bible I don't fully understand many parts of it, and that is a problem. We can't just get by knowing the Bible, but we need to understand it.
This book features:

• Helpful tips for Bible study beginners
• Useful tools to encourage familiarity of the Bible, its contents, and study helps
• Scripture from the book of Ephesians.

Leaving Ordinary by Donna Gaines

Encounter God through extraordinary prayer

In all of our hearts our deepest desire isn't always easily known by us. We long for our hearts to know and be known by God. We crave that relationship whether we readily realize it or not. We don't have to long for Him in our hearts, we can experience it. Prayer can be the channel for us all to link our hearts to God's. In this book we see how God gave the pattern of the tabernacle to the Israelites. Through it God taught them how to approach and worship Him before their journey to the promised land. This author uses the tabernacle and its articles as a guide, and we are led down a path through worship and intimacy with God.

This book features:

• Explore the tabernacle and discover how it can be a guide for prayer today.
• Learn how to gain a stronger, more intimate relationship with God.
• Develop your own personal prayer testimony as you experience His presence.

Amazed and Confused by Heather Zempel

When God's actions collide with our expectations.

Sometimes we find ourselves praying desperately for something only to find we are left either confused or disappointed by God's response. We then begin to question how God could have allowed bad things to happen to good people, especially if we pray desperately for a different outcome. Why doesn't God answer some of our prayer requests? Doesn't he hear them? Doesn't he hear us? These are all questions that we all ask from time to time. And this book helps to answer some of those questions. In this book we learn more about the book of Habakkuk and explore the prophet's prayer, God's response, and the prophet's journey from confusion to worship. This is a very interactive Bible study, and is the perfect choice for those who are hurting, confused, or find yourselves asking questions about the outcome of God's response to our prayers.

This book features:

• Helpful guidance on a question without an easy answer
• Practical tools for studying the Minor Prophets
• Easy-to-understand, accessible language

Living So That by Wendy Blight

Making faith-filled choices for the midst of a messy life

This is an interesting study book. This takes on a completely different approach to understand God's Word, and focuses on some of the most powerful verses in Scripture. 

This author writes with an easily approachable style, easy to understand, and includes many personal examples along with her biblical teachings. In this book the author shows ways to take the Word of God and live it so you can impact the world around you. You will find a new light on living, and find that you can use biblical truths to make decisions even in the present-day. It's a very enlightening book, and was by far one of my favorites. It is very easy to understand, and incredibly enlightening.

This book features:

"Going Deeper" sections encourage readers to dig further into the truths presented

"Call to Action" sections challenge readers to take practical steps to apply what they have learned.

Helpful tips and tools for practicing active faith.

I strongly recommend the inScribed Collection for any women's Bible study group, or for the woman that wants to do Bible study on her own. This is by far one of the most easily relatable, most enjoyable, Bible studies I have had the pleasure to read. You will find yourself on a path you didn't expect and learning along each step you take with these four books! You will definitely be able to expect life change after reading this collection.

Discoveries in Bible Prophecy *Book Review*

::The Back of the Book::

::My Thoughts::
I always enjoy reading books on Bible Prophecy. So many people can form so many ideas, find clues, facts, etc. It's hard to let one book go by without reading it. As I knew I would be, I was particularly fascinated by this book. This book is completely different than much of the other books on Bible Prophecy I have read. One of the most interesting points the author makes in this book is his belief that not all Christians are Raptured at the same time. All of the author's viewpoints and findings are incredible and will shake your previous way of Christian thought. It's hard for some of us to take on another form of thought when we have been brought up to think a certain way. Especially when we hear it from parents, peers, elders, churches, etc. But this book will definitely have you contemplating everything you have learned. Not that anything you learned was bad, and it's not that I 100% agree with this author. However, I will be the first to admit that reading this book has shaken the ground for which I have always held beliefs on certain things concerning Bible Prophecy, and the Tribulation.
One thing I do know no matter how many books I have read is that nobody will ever know when "The End" of the earth will come. As Bible states nobody knows the day or hour. Guesses will continue to come forth, but above all we must pay attention to the world around us and just be prepared. That's all we can really do.
I love that this book is more than just making assumptions. Instead the author analyzes and explains all of his theories and beliefs. I don't want to spoil it for all you readers out there but there is one concerning the Statue of Liberty that will really get you thinking! I was honestly blown away!
Many have trouble seeing America's play in Bible Prophecy but it is there in the Bible. I will definitely be sharing this book with my friends and loved ones. My husband is already reading it!
I believe this would make a fantastic study book so readers can discuss it with others. It would make a great book for a study group or Christian book club.

Bible Stories that end with a Hug ~Book Review

• Reading level: Ages 3 and up
• Hardcover: 160 pages
• Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. (December 20, 2012)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 1414375433
• ISBN-13: 978-1414375434

This is an excellent study book for young children! There are bright colorful illustrations to capture your child's attention with real scripture made short and sweet from the Bible.
Whether your child is only one year old or 7 years old I think this is a book that would fit those age groups (and between) very well. The stories include scripture from the bible, lessons on applying each story to your child's life, and special Hug Time after each story.
It's really the perfect book for parents and children to enjoy together while learning different verses, and connecting at the end of each story.
Each story only takes about 5 minutes to read which makes it very easy for young children to stay focused, and they come away connecting with you while learning something new.
All in all I think this is a very unique book, and the perfect starter for very young children to learn more about God. As the most typical bible stories are covered (In The Beginning, God Made People, The Coat of Many Colors, Baby in a Basket, etc), this is an excellent starter book.
The pages are glossy and smooth, it is a hardcover with the front cover having some extra softness.
It has answers to questions your child may ask you about each story which is also a very nice touch, and the verses are very easy to remember for each story. The questions are something that your child may or may not ask, but is nice to read regardless as they can learn new information. There is definitely something to take away from each story, and it is just an easy read for parents and children to enjoy as a family.
I would definitely recommend it for anyone introducing a young child to the bible, to teach them bible verses, and the importance of the meaning behind each story.
At ages 47 months and 5 years old this book has become a nightly ritual to read right before bed, and I am so very thankful for the opportunity to review it.

90 Days Thru the Bible ~Book Review~

Paperback: 256 pages
Publisher: Tyndale Momentum (August 15, 2012)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 141435309X
ISBN-13: 978-1414353098

::My thoughts::
90 Days Thru the Bible is a wonderful reading tool for those looking to better understand God's word. It starts with Genesis and takes you all the way through Revelations. It is a wonderful study guide if you are wanting a deeper understand of the Bible in a short amount of time. Even while this book doesn't FULLY explore the bible it gives you the major principles and reflect on how every one is beneficial to God's story.
Not only is it easy to understand but it breaks down each chapter of the bible and creates an easy to understand devotional with questions for reflection at the end.
It is broken down with The Old Testament being Day 1, Genesis 1-3 Day 2, Genesis 4-11 Day 3, etc.
The Bible is the best book out there if you ask me, but it is also a very complex book for even the most genius of those who read it. We excel at some points in the bible, but can completely miss some of the major events without even realizing it.
This book will help with exactly that and give you a better appreciation of God's word, as well as His journey.
I think it would be best used as a reading tool as you read along with your bible. After exploring chapters in the Bible itself you can read each devotional in this book to delve deeper and gather a better understanding and appreciation of God's word.
Especially useful if you want to understand the Bible in more depth, but just don't have the time to make church classes, etc. It's a very insightful, informative study tool that all Christians would benefit from having, and gives a clearer understanding with those who want one.
What I especially loved about this book is the transformation it can make on your own life and understanding of God. It is encouraging, nourishing, and uplifting to say the least. It's soul-fulfilling.


::From the back of the book::

Embark on a 90-Day journey to understand the heart of God's story like never before.

You may believe the Bible's overall message, but have you truly grasped the whole story? We know God's message of love is so simple that even a child may embrace it, and His epic story is complex enough to mystify even the most curious intellect. We want to understand the Scriptures more deeply, to fully share in the Great Story that God has been telling throughout the ages, though perhaps we aren't sure where to start.

In 90 Days Thru the Bible, acclaimed writer Chris Tiegreen and Walk Thru the Bible guide you through the various sections of Scripture, meditating on how each story and theme, like the pieces of a puzzle, beautifully contributes to God's masterpiece of love, faith, and salvation. You'll come to understand the true heart of God-and the awe-inspiring story He's telling in your own life- in an incredible new way.
