Book Review of The Daily Question for you and your child

The Daily Question for You and Your Child
What a neat concept! A 3 year spiritual journey to enjoy with your child. The questions are insightful. How fun it will be to see the changes and growth in your child from one year to the next. What a neat way to encourage that special time together to truly get to know your child as a person. A great way to draw out each child's unique and individual personalities. It would also be interesting to see how each child in the family answers the questions - are they remarkably different or amazingly similar? What a treasure the book will become as it is saved for when the child is an adult with children of their own. 

Always thankful for the opportunity to review a book. This book was sent to me for review by WaterBrook and Multnomah.

Catching Christmas by Terri Blackstock



Wow great story! I really could relate to Callie, the older grandma. She reminds me a bit of my late grandmother. As my grandmother got older she also became rather embarrassingly outspoken and would just 'say it like it is'. I still remember my cousin bringing her boyfriend to grandmother's house and my grandmother saying loud and clear to all in ear shot that 'honey, you can do better than that.' There were times when I was so embarrassed by her comments I just wanted a large sink hole to swallow me up whole. Still, I look back on her fondly and love that she just spoke her mind. 

I love the character of Callie who is similar in her outspoken ways. Wonderfully, told story and very heartwarming. Truly couldn't put it down and finished it in a couple days. Callie is an inspiration to us all and I hope that when I get old I lead others to Christ as she did. She did it by being a great example to others. She demonstrated Christian love and was a fun loving person that drew people in. The story is vey well written and the characters are very believable. 

I received this copy from the publisher through Edelweiss.
