Becoming Gertrude by Janice Peterson

This little gem of a book is about the beauty of godly friendship and tips for how to cultivate that in your own life. I feel like this book is absolutely perfect for the season of life I am in right now, as I realize that deep friendships truly are worth gold and a word fitly spoken is priceless.
Drawing from her own life and the life of those around her I love how the author draws you in and gives sage advice, it really feels like you are sitting across from her drinking tea!
Small in pages but mighty in message this book is well written and utterly engaging. I could hardly put it down and felt encouraged and uplifted, ready to reach my hand out to those around me and be that friend I am called to be.

Dinosaur devotions bu Michelle Medlock Adams

If you have a dinosaur lover in your house than you need to buy this book, even if your kids aren't that into dinosaurs (it will come with time,believe me!) I recommend this book.
My 3 year old LOVES dinosaur and this book is fascinating for both of us! Admittedly a bit of it over her head but I am amazed how despite the content and depth she is more than happy to listen to me read it to her and it brings up some great conversations.
It is so rare to find a dinosaur book that has a Christian spin so that is what absolutely thrills me about this book, learning about dinosaurs and incorporating Christ? This book is a dream!
I cannot recommend it enough as it will certain enchant and fascinate your young reader, regardless of the age!

My Christmas ABCs by Jordan Wray

I love,love,love this new book where one can go over the ABC's with a Christmas theme! My 3 year old and I are working hard on learning the alphabet so this book is really just too perfect.
Filled with whimsical illustrations that are sure to enthrall and delight this book is just utterly charming. I cannot think of a more festive book all while being educational! I call that win-win!
One of my favorite things about it is that it does not mention Santa Clause, do you know how impossible it is to find a Christmas book without Santa in it? Whether or not you plan on doing Santa I think it is perfect that this book focuses on more Christian themes of Christmas.
I can't think of a better book to add to ones Christmas book collection!

Jesus Calling: The Story of Christmas by Sarah Young

What an utterly fantastic book to help center ones thoughts on the true meaning of Christmas. I have found it is easy to get involved in all of the holiday's festivities that it is easy to lose sight of what the true meaning of Christmas is so this book is absolutely perfect, not only is it a good rendition of Christ birth but I truly feel it takes the Christmas story even deeper and adds additional information that is usually glossed over.
The illustrations are so beautiful and visually appealing to both old and young, utterly charming it makes me want to frame them!
I love how it incorporates Bible verses on each page and has a little "Jesus Calling" section on each page as well.
This is simply a must have book for the upcoming holiday season!
I receieved this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel and mark Mittelberg

I am a huge fan of Lee Strobel's works and have been trying to work through some of his books here lately,but being a busy Mom of two young children it can be hard to find time to read, so I was utterly delighted to receive this devotional that is broken down into a much more manageable format of small two pages that even I can fit into my busy day. I feel like though the pages are not very long the content is still very good and I feel like it is great way to start out my day and get me thinking about deeper things.
I feel like especially as a Mother I need to be studying and researching my faith more, too often as Christians we just blindly follow and don't realize that there is so much evidence for Christ. I think it is vitally important to know some of the evidence so when our children are presented with alternative viewpoints we can thoughtfully and intellectually discuss it with them and help them understand that while faith is a very important aspect of our walk we also have evidence for Christ and it does not all have to be taken on faith.
Insightful and engaging this book would make an excellent addition to anyone's bookshelf or it would be a fabulous gift for anyone in your life. I cannot recommend it enough!

Cozy, Snowy Cuddles

I am absolutely in love with this charming book that arrived just in time for winter! This book is so perfect for the coming of winter and is utterly delightful both in illustration and text.
I love how this book appealed equally to both my 3 year old and my 8 month old. My 3 year old was delighted by the narwhal on the first page (they aren't featured in books near enough!) and 8 month old loved the touch and feel aspect.
I loved how the story flowed and how sweet, simple and yet wonderful the content was, even my husband didn't mind reading it and he is a hard critic of children's books.
If you are looking for the perfect book to kick of the chilly season than I highly recommend this book.

Prayers for the Battlefield by Heidi St. John

For any fan of Heidi St. John this book is a  must read, small in pages but powerful in insight this book is not only a gorgeous looking book but is filled to the brim with keen insight and deep wisdom. I fell in love with Heidi's writing with her book Mom Strong and this book only furthered my love for her. This book is much needed for the battle weary Mom as it redirects ones focus and is a keen reminder that we are preparing our children for battle and how very, very important that is.
I am absolutely in love with the fact that the book is written devotional style with little snippet you can start your day off with that are not overwhelming but are very thought provoking and deep.
I cannot recommend this book enough, if you are raising the next generation then this book is for you.
