Book Review: Psalm 23

Book Description

 

With illustrations that bring to life Psalm 23, the popular picture book is now available in board book format.
As a follow-up to his bestselling children’s book, The Lord’s Prayer, Richard Jesse Watson created Psalm 23. The soothing and familiar words of the iconic scripture are paired with the vibrant and child-friendly illustrations of Richard Jesse Watson, resulting in a board book edition of the acclaimed picture book that is pleasing to the eyes and soul. Using KJV text, this book helps familiarize children with real biblical text while also incorporating beautiful illustrations that help make the words of David come alive for even the youngest reader.

My Review 

What  a lovely book with many rich breath-taking illustrations. The children are so dear and precious with their glowing smiles. They're images are placed perfectly on the pages, surrounded with the most well known scripture passage  in the Bible. The words of David are most comforting to the reader of any age. The nature scenes with sheep, birds and butterflies are surrounded by warm color hues. It's wonderful to see the beautiful style of the illustrator and how he depicts the Lord's loving ways in gentleness and strength. I especially like the pretty detailed angel watching over the children. So peaceful while reading this sweet bedtime scripture book to all of my grandchildren. We love it!

5/5 stars. I received a free copy of the book from BookLook Bloggers

 About The Book

An expanded, revised, and exhaustively updated 20th anniversary edition of the book that fired the first shot—a comprehensive and entertaining guide to living gluten-free

Way ahead of its time, the original edition of this book, Against the Grain, was the first book of its kind: a funny, supportive, and absolutely essential handbook for gluten-free living.

The Friday #56

"Up to now, there has been much disagreement in the scientific community and only anecdotal evidence from parents about  whether or not the gluten-free-casein-free diet really helps children with this condition."

 

Do you like cookbooks? I sure do and I have a mountain of them. I usually devour them, while experimenting with the recipes, and then making an index card of my favorite food meal to use for family and friends. Then I like to pass the book along to a friend. I wonder... do you have a favorite cookbook that you use over and over? With this one, I must admit I was not familiar with all the details about a Gluten-Free diet. Are you familiar with Celiac Disease and does gluten bother you?

 

My Review 

 

This is the best home guide and travel abroad manual for those choosing to navigate their gluten-free life successfully. I am new to the subject and have had my curiosity deeply satisfied with an enormous amount of documented beneficial medical facts and real life experience testimony shared from the author. I found much of the information easy to understand with down to earth facts and spun with good old fashion humor! I am looking forward to sampling and can't wait to try the many delicious recipes offered inside. As I begin my gluten-free journey, I am grateful to have this fantastic food Bible in my hands. It's just what I need! Jax Peters Powell has written and shared an evergreen testimony of truth with us from her heart that will indeed benefit and revolutionize a healthy community of family and friends for a very long time. I highly recommend this one!

5/5 stars.
