Love Lifted Me

This is a great story of real life situations and how to overcome them. Evans does a great job with her writing and providing a visual picture for the reader as well as bringing the story close to home.

This book is awesome and I would definitely recommend it to many people and a great book to add to a church library collection. I really look forward to reading her other books that are part of this series.

Heaven is for Real DVD Study

I was so excited to receive the DVD study on the book Heaven is for Real. It brought the book to life even more so, the book is amazing and I am looking forward to doing the study with my church or small group in the near future.

Colton, Todd and Sonya give as much detail as they can through this study and share how the book and experience has changed their lives and their personal life with the Lord. It at times is an intimate conversation but other times you find yourself laughing.

This is such an awesome resource that every church or small group should invest in.

An Amish Wedding

I am a big fan of the Amish books. After visiting the Amish settlement in Berlin, Ohio it has made the books so much more real. It is so interesting to read about the rituals and their way of living.
This is another great Amish book and I love that there are three stories in one. It is great to hear about their wedding routines and rituals that they have to follow living in an Amish settlement. It is not something I could do but definitely admire those that do.
This is a great book that I would suggest to anyone that likes reading romance novels and Amish stories.

Heaven is for Real Deluxe Edition

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical getting this book. I had heard a lot of comments on it and was looking forward to reading it to see what everyone was talking about. I have read other books similar to this and I have found that the biblical basis behind what the book was saying was a bit dramatized and not a positive book in general.

I was blown away when I read Heaven is for Real. I found out after a few texts that my friend is the youth pastor at the Burpo's church. I read this book and it gave me a whole new outlook on life and heaven. I have never really heard sermons on heaven because some people don't like to hear about it in churches today. This book is phenomenal and one I would suggest everyone read.

If a 4 year old isn't afraid of death, why should adults be?

Thank You, God, for Loving me.

Not sure what to say. It is an amazing book for toddlers about God's love. It is a board book and so great to see Christian morals being taught at such a young age. Lucado is reaching every age range and he does an amazing job at it!

This will be a great book to take when I teach pre-school or toddlers at church in our nursery program.

Great job Max Lucado!

Thank You, God, for Blessing me.

Max Lucado has done it again! This time he is reaching a younger age group with the stories about Hermie. But, he is also able to bring scripture and inspiration to the little toddler age children. This is an awesome book for churches, parents of young kids, pre-school teachers etc.
It is great to be able to teach children how they are blessed. So excited with how Max Lucado is bringing the word to all ages and able to reach them all through Hermie and other various topics. He is reaching the youngest of kids to the oldest of adults with his books. Keep up the great work!

Hermie, a common caterpillar

I was excited to get this book! I was even more excited to find out it was a level 2 reader! I supply teach and I am always looking for something different that I can take into the Christian schools where I teach and read or show the children.
Lucado has done it again! Hermie is a great story about a caterpillar that feels common and doesn’t realize God has big plans for him but only in God’s timing does He reveal those plans! Great story for children and adults to relate to.

Close Enough to Hear God Breathe

I was a little hesitant in getting this book, not totally sure on what it would be about. I got this book in the mail and have not been able to put it down! I would force myself to read once chapter a night so I could have something to look forward to the next night.
Greg is so real in this book and brings practicality to it all. It has made me laugh, and cry. It is probably one of the best books I have read! Amazing! It even has study questions so you could do a book group or small group with it. Really great book!

The Grace of God ~ Andy Stanley

This was my first book by Andy Stanley (son of Charles Stanley), and I was really impressed. It was easy to read, very conversational, and full of fresh insights. The book walks through the Bible, viewing key passages in terms of how they demonstrate the grace of God. Since I just finished a study at our church on "Jesus in Genesis," his chapters on the Old Testament were especially timely - though I also enjoyed the NT chapters. I would recommend this book for any small group or individual study.

It's Not About Me!

It’s Not About Me ~ Max Lucado

He has done it once again! Lucado has brought realization to the reader’s mind about how this world isn’t about us, it never was and never will be. God has put us here for a reason and that is to glorify Him and spread the news about Him.

Lucado has to be one of my favourite author’s. He says it like it is and gets right down to the root. Definitely a book I would suggest for anyone to read!

The Waiting Place

I have to admit, I was a little disappointed when I started reading this book. I guess I was expecting it to be more practical on waiting and that type of thing. It is more compiled of short stories of different times the author had to wait and there are some practical truths pulled out of those stories.

It is a good book to read before bed. Not sure it would be a book I’d suggest for people to read unless they wanted something to read before bed.

Live Loved ~ Max Lucado

Knowing this book was a devotional and having loved the books that Lucado has written I decided to grab this book off of booksneeze. It is a small devotion that is packed full of devotions from the recent books he has written.

The devotions seem to hit the spot every day. They speak right into my heart. This would be an amazing gift for anyone.
Lucado has done it again! Great job!!

Hermie & Friends: A Bug Collection Volume 3 ~ Max Lucado

I requested this dvd set because I am involved in Children’s ministry at my church and felt this would be so beneficial for kids of any age. I am a big fan of Max Lucado’s work and have heard many good things about “Hermie & Friends” but never seen any. Thanks to booksneeze for sending this to me to review! There is humor in this that adults will enjoy! Great family entertainment as well as impacting Christian lessons!

Milo the Mantis Who Wouldn’t Pray:
Milo learns that when you pray you don’t have to do anything special, use any fancy words to get God’s attention but that He is always listening and is with us all the time.

Buzby & The Grumble Bees:
Buzby’s neice and nephew come overnight and don’t have any manners at all but with the help of Buzyb’s friends they teach them how to behave the way God wants us to behave. Great lessons!

Hailey & Bailey’s Silly Fight:
Hailey and Bailey fight along with a few others in the garden but after they pray, God shows them that they are arguing over something silly and their initial plan was to help others but they got sidetracked. They learned that fighting can be silly, and that we need to love each other.

This is an incredible DVD set for ministry, and families. Great practical lessons for everyone to learn in a fun way. Each DVD has a sing a long song, colouring sheets, a story book and other features! A great tool for anyone that is around children!

The Truth about Dating, Love, and Just Being Friends ~ Chad Eastham

When first ordering this book from booksneeze I wasn’t too sure what it would be like. As someone who works with youth I was interested.

As I opened this book I was surprised. Eastham is very straightforward and honest about dating and relationships. He brings a humorous spin to the book and covers a lot.

This is definitely a book that would be great for teenagers, guys and girls!

Nelson's Biblical Cyclopedic Index

This index is a very intensive and great resource to have as a student, ministry leader, pastor, Bible scholar or Christian! It covers everything in the Bible. It is like taking the back of your Bible index and expanding it in a huge way. It references everything and everyone in the Bible! There are over 8000 listings in alphabetical order with scripture references included. These listings are also broken down into sub-headings making it even more user friendly. Most of them include a brief definition, or if you are looking up a name, you will find the meaning of the name.

It isn’t a heavy book so it’s easy to carry with you. It would be a great resource to use as a teacher or Bible Study leader but also great for personal use. It is easy to use and understand. It is definitely a great resource and one that you should have.
