100 Prayers God Loves to Hear, 100 Praise Songs by Stephen Elkins is a wonderfully illustrated book with prayers that children can use throughout the day ~ from morning til night. The prayers have a short introduction or devotional showing how to practically apply prayer to everyday situations as well as quick quotes and prayer reminders. The introduction of the book also highlights ten verses that speak about prayer.

It also includes:

~ Biblical prayers from Scripture {David, Moses, Jesus}.

~ Inspirational prayers from Abraham Lincoln, Charles Wesley and others

~ Well-known prayers such as “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep”

~ Two CDs with 100 praise songs that are referred to throughout the book.

My Thoughts

The book itself we are really enjoying to sit and read because the pictures really are cute and well done. We popped the CD in to listen to it one afternoon and the kids lost interest in the music about halfway through the first song. It is very much kid music, so if your child enjoys Wee Sing type music, this might be a hit in your house {but it wasn’t in ours}.

The book is available from Amazon for purchase {$15.59}.

Book Giveaway: A Time to Embrace

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy here.

A Time to Embrace Karen Kingsbury

Their marriage has only recently survived a near-divorce. John and Abby are reveling in the miracle that God performed in their marriage when things grow difficult in other areas of their lives. John’s career as the head coach for the high school appears to be at an end. As he and Abby struggle to find answers to what will come next, tragedy strikes.

An accident in the middle of the night brings physical devastation to their lives. Will they be able to move forward in their lives, forgive and bring healing to others around them, or will guilt and regret overpower the miracles they know God can do?

My Thoughts

I have always loved Karen Kingsbury’s books and somehow missed the Timeless Love series. Even though I didn’t read the book prior to this one, A Time to Dance, I was able to pick up the storyline without any problem.  This particular story is one filled with grace, forgiveness and the power of faith ~ I loved it!

The Timeless Love series have recently been re-released with new covers {very nice, I might add} along with an update from Karen in the back as to where the characters in the story are today ~ always fun to see how she envisions them a few years down the road! :) The book also includes a reading group guide.
