NirV Illustrated Holy Bible for Kids: LadyD Books

Being a "YaYa" (Grandmother) of 5 is a wonderful journey for me. I am passionate about all of them knowing Jesus, having hope in Christ, and discovering the power in God's word. When our new Bible book arrived, we opened to Psalm 136:1

Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good. His faithful love continues forever.

Then we had a small group discussion on the believer's freedom. You know, looking out for others.
1 Corinthians 10:23

You say, "I have the right to do anything." but not everything is helpful. Again you say, "I have the right to do anything." but not everything builds us up. No one should look out for their own interests. Instead, they should look for the interests of others.

To the grownups... You know, as Christians we are part of the awesome creation of God: the church! We have a calling from God that glorifies him but also gives our lives meaning and purpose. I believe ministry by definition is unselfish but it blesses you. Acts 2:42-47

So, here's what we discovered about our new Bible for the grandkids...

Book Review

Illustration from Kid's Bible: LadyD Books

Wow, what a beautiful hardcover Bible for children ages 4-8. Third graders will have an easy time reading the single-column text as they discover powerful Bible stories within. There are tons of good illustrations, with underlying captions, that are sprinkled in different positions on the pages. Plus, there's a special ribbon marker to hold your place. If you're a visual learner, you will be pleasantly surprised to find full-color friendly maps tucked inside the back cover of the book. I recommend this lovely children's Bible for home and church library. My grandchildren love this one!

5/5 stars!

I received a copy of this book for free as a member of BG2 in exchange for my honest review.

Don't Sweat The Small Stuff: LadyD Books Review

I was thrilled to receive a copy of the book, Don't Sweat The Small Stuff, from my Aunt and Uncle in 1997. I have read it and re-read it many times over. What can I say... it affects me! When I heard the news of the author unexpectantly passing of cardiac arrest awhile back, I was shocked. I later learned how Richard Carlson's wife picked up the pieces and coped through many changes on her blog, https://kristinecarlson.com

But before I forget, I wanted to share a bit of information I just learned about...

Sitting in the waiting room biding my time until it would be my turn to see my doctor, I browsed through a plethora of magazines. When I got home from my appointment, I noticed an email from Amazon letting me know of some great $5.00 deals on magazine subscriptions. I think I'll get some for my piano studio waiting room but you need to hurry, offer expires August 20th!

Here are a few of my favorites:

Better Homes and Gardens

Eating Well

Reader's Digest

Okay, back to my review of this dynamite little book of 100 chapters!
