Book Review: Devotions from the Beach

100 Devotions from the Beach


Book Information


Life is better at the beach—but you already knew that. Dig your feet in the sand, and let the water cool your toes as you escape in the beauty of God's seaside wonders. The gorgeous photography and 100 devotions in Devotions from the Beach will take you right to the water's edge, where God's voice is often clearer than ever.


Book Review


There are 100 devotionals inside, so start reading wherever you want to. If you enjoy pleasant walks along the shoreline, you will enjoy reading "Follow Those footprints." Within the pages are a scripture verse, writings around a beach theme that relates to the Bible, and a closing prayer. I especially like the "Driftwood" devotional because of its refreshing and courageous encouragement for a closer walk with the Lord. The photos are absolutely gorgeous and meditating on God's word is a true treasure to know Him and have His peace. I love the devotional and it definitely makes an excellent gift, too.

5/5 stars. Highly recommend.

I received the book from BookLook Bloggers in exchange for an honest review.

Happy Reading!

Delivered: Book Review

Beth Moore: Delivered


I received the hardcover book, Delivered, from BookLook Bloggers. I am grateful to have received another great book by the New York Times Bestselling Author, Beth Moore. Here's a brief
introduction.

Book Description
Based on her bestselling book, Get Out of That Pit, Beth Moore delivers a stirring message of sheer hope, utter deliverance, and glorious freedom of God.
God is in the deliverance business. He longs for you to be free, to know the love and presence that are better than life—and the power of His Word that defies all darkness. In Delivered, Beth Moore shares her own journey out of the pit and the way the poetic expressions of Psalm 40 rewarded her with a new song for her soul—given by her Savior and offered to you here in this soul-stirring book. You also can be free from the worst life has to offer and learn to take Christ’s mighty arm when he reaches into the depths and says in a way you can finally hear, Need a hand?
Beth Moore: Delivered

Book Review

The author shares a few moments of her story with honesty and transparency. In that way, I believe she is able to lead people through the journey of life in the pit and then offer helpful insights to live a new life of freedom by trusting in God. Beth's approach to painful situations and finding hopeful resolutions is always based on the truth of God's word. So, unlike most self-help books, the author shares how crying out for help, confessing our wrong-doings, and surrendering to the Lord daily offers a pit-less future. This small hardcover book is filled with many scripture references encouraging the reader to know Christ and His redeeming power of grace, especially Psalm 40:1-2.

4/5 stars. I recommend it. 

The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the font size is too small.

Book Review: What Are You Doing Benny?


What Are You Doing, Benny? by Cary Fagan


I am thankful for receiving this delightful children's book from LibraryThing!


About the Book


From New York, Times-bestselling illustrator Kady MacDonald Denton and award-winning author Cary Fagan come to a charming sibling story that has the makings of a contemporary classic.

Benny's little brother is really good at a lot of things -- making potions and paper airplanes, building forts, putting on puppet shows, even petting the neighbor's cat (he has a special way of scratching her just behind the ears). But whenever he tries to join in Benny's activities, all Benny ever says is "No." Maybe his little brother can watch him do cool stuff if he's lucky. What is a little fox to do, except give Benny a taste of his own medicine? Totally familiar yet fresh and original, tenderly told and consistently funny, this story perfectly captures the joys (and annoyances!) of sibling relationships.

My Thoughts


At times getting along with your younger brother can seem so annoying. Often a younger brother has difficulty connecting with his older brother and waiting for him to play with you can be so difficult. This funny story cleverly was written to show families how to resolve conflicts with siblings.  The warm illustrations of the younger and older fox richly enhance the storyline. After many unsuccessful attempts to connect with his older brother Benny, the little fox finds a way to reach and involve his brother in a fun activity. This is a beautiful book for home and school library.

4/5 stars.
