Engraved on the heart by Tara Johnson

What a beautiful book for any historical lovers who enjoy anything to do with the Civil War era. I loved how this book seems like your typical historical fiction and yet it dives into deeper issues as the book progresses, I thought it was interesting to read about the main characters battles with epileptic seizures and how that was viewed  by society then. Despite being a Southern belle Keziah proves she is so much more than her family's expectation to marry well. When she is reintroduced to her childhood friend, Micah, her life sets on a path quite unlike she ever expected.
Filled with lush details and an engaging story this book is a must read! I know I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

100 Bible Stories for Children

This book is an absolutely wonderful introduction to the Bible for young ones, highlighting 100 of the most famous stories from the Bible that have gorgeous illustrations to enthrall and engage little ones. I know my 3 year old really enjoyed the stories and the illustrations, she was particularly thrilled to see so many stories about Jesus life in here as those are her absolute favorite. I am always eager to get copies of Bible stories and see how the pass muster with my little one and this one certainly did! She goes for it all the time and I feel it is a good way for her to familiarize herself with the scriptures at a young age.
This is a stunning book that would make a great gift or would be great to have on hand at home to engage your little ones in the word of God.
