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.
