A Terrific Bible Reading Plan

There are many reading plans for the Bible in a year. I find this one to be one of the best because it touches not only the Old and New Testaments each day but also neatly divides the Psalms and Proverbs into the daily mix.
It is a great way to spend time with God.

Discover Rediscovering God in America

Newt and his wife take the reader on a wonderful stroll through our nation's capitol in search of God. Trust me, they find more than you have been taught about the importance of God to our forefathers. God was no passing fancy or the politically correct lip service to sway voters like today's political leaders believe. God was the sovereign rights giver who, in their belief system, was worthy of worship and honor now reflected in the artifacts left behind in our capitol. Newt proves without a shadow of a doubt from the writings, souvenirs, dedication plaques, engravings and even the monuments themselves that our country was not only founded for God's glory but that our leaders actually believed in this fact and lived this fact. I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. The pictures were beautiful and the book's layout is as nice as the Capitol mall itself. Can't wait for my dad to open his copy for Christmas.

I blog for Thomas Nelson and this book was a free copy. They don't tell me what to say and they certainly doesn't correct my grammer and spelling!

NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible is quality worth reading for the coffee table

NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible is a Bible story book with so much more. 250 favorite Bible stories using the actual Bible text from the New King James version makes this book quite unique. These are not paraphrases or loosely translated retellings of the stories but the Bible divided into stories. With a fabulous old school cover this will look great in the family room or on the coffee table. While I would have liked to see an additional scripture index in the back I like the content, selection of stories and the arrangement. This will work very well for family devotions or anyone on your gift list that you would like to introduce to the bible without overwhelming them. I was a bit curious when I ordered the book if I was going to find value in another bible offering because aren't there enough Bibles of various kinds on the market already? Well, I was pleased with my copy and hope to use it in the mix of our family's story time selections.

I received this book free with the Nelson blogger program. Nelson in no way sways opinions from their bloggers.

The White Horse King

The White Horse King
The Life of Alfred the Great
By Benjamin Merkle

Thank you Benjamin Merkle for opening up the life of a man whom all should get to know, King Alfred the Great. I hardly knew or remembered anything about these early years of England. All I knew was a few convoluted stories about Vikings, Saxons, and Anglos and various invasions. You really did your homework and gave this generation a great read and a great story. I highly recommend King Alfred the Great to you. He was a strong man, king and most importantly Christian. His innovations in warfare, city defenses, national defense, government, education and leadership were second to none and helped shape not only the future of the great British empire but also the world including America. I never knew that King Alfred was the only English ruler ever to be dubbed 'Great'. Find out why in this book. I could not put it down and finished it in just a few days. Students and adults will enjoy the fabulous stories from the late 800s AD. Parents, this would be a terrific story book to read during family reading after the dishes are pushed aside. Filled with incredible detail with very little speculation on the part of Merkle makes this a book worthy to be read at the college level as supplemental material for any British history, world history or even British literature class. Find out why King Alfred should be considered the father of British lit, the British Navy, modern law, education and bible study. Thank you King Alfred and again, thank you Benjamin Merkle. This goes on my read again and read to others shelf.

Animal bracelets or bust!

How does something like this even happen? Kids all around the south at least are wearing these things out! They are rubber bands people! When you are wearing them you can't even tell what they are and when you take them off they don't do anything but sit there. They serve no purpose whatsoever. Why couldn't I have thought of it first? Drat!

The amazing Word of God

Hebrews 4:12-16. The Word puts us in a choke hold, flays us open like a coroner and holds a dagger under our chin as we march to the executioner like a convicted Roman criminal.
