This Bible is great for my 4 year old son. He loves the short stories and it holds his attention very well. It is beautifully illustrated as well.
This volume contains over 100 Bible stories in very simple and easy to understand, child friendly language. It does a great job of keeping faithful to the original stories and keeping all of the main points intact in a simple way.
The companion DVD contains 26 of the stories on 2 DVDs. They are very well done and my son likes them as well!
I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone with young children in their home. It is a great way to introduce more Bible stories to them in a format that they will enjoy and understand!

The Faith of Ronald Reagan by Mary Beth Brown
"My father was a godly man. He loved God. When he decided to run for president, he didn't do it to raise himself up, to be admired, or to have others think he was great. He didn't do it out of selfish reasons or because it is the most powerful position in the country. He did it out of duty. He believed God had called him to run for president. He believed God had things for him to do." ~ Michael Reagan, from the forward
The Faith of Ronald Reagan by Mary Beth Brown delves into the private faith of Ronald Reagan and how it influenced his life. The quote about gives a small insight into the man and to this book. The book traces how faith influenced Reagan from his early childhood to the presidency. Included are many interviews with family, friends and colleagues and the words of Reagan himself.
I fond the book to be a great glimpse into the private side of Reagan and how his faith in God shaped his life and his presidency. I was inspired to learn of his deep rooted faith and how he applied it to his life.
I would recommend this book to anyone that has an interest in presidential history and the faith of our leaders.

Tithing: Test Me In This by Douglas Leblanc
Tithing: Test Me In This by Douglas Leblanc is part of the Ancient Practices Series from Thomas Nelson Publishing. Instead of a traditional overview of tithing and it's ties to the Bible, Leblanc and Tickle instead chose to interview eleven different individuals and couples who make tithing a part of their life. Each chapter describes how tithing has affected the interviewees.
This book is a good introduction to tithing and presents reasons why people make it part of their lives. It is presented in a format that is very easy to read and understand. The book contains a study guide at the end so it could be used for small group discussions on tithing. The notes sections contains many outside references to other writings and scriptural support for the subject as well.
I would recommend this book to anyone that is struggling with tithing as part of their Christian walk. It presents the subject objectively without pressuring the reader into tithing. A good introduction to the subject presented in an enjoyable way. Four stars!

Then Sings My Soul: Special Edition by Robert Morgan
Then Sings My Soul: Special Edition written by Robert Morgan is a wonderful book that presents the stories behind 150 classic hymns. It is bound and presented beautifully with a tough cover and Deckle Edging on the pages. Each story is presented in a devotional style, with each story of the hymn an easy, one-page read. Each story also presents a related Bible verse. This is a very interesting book, as well as being a great devotional.
I found the information presented to be very educational and also a great testimony to the writers of these hymns. The story of each hymn is succinctly told and always from a Biblical perspective.
This book would be a great gift for anyone that is interested in Christian history or music history. I would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to learn more about how the hymns we take for granted came to be!

Jungle Warfare: A Basic Field Manual for Christians in Sales By Christopher Cunningham
Jungle Warfare: A Basic Field Manual for Christians in Sales is a very unique sales book. I have been in sales for over ten years and have had the opportunity to read many different sales manuals. The approach here is a fresh perspective on the world of sales done from a Christian perspective.
The book is divided into a 22 day manual. Each day features an excerpt from the author's grandfather's Jungle Warfare field manual. There is a Bible verse for each day as well. Following those there is a Battle Plan for each day that shows you how to apply the Jungle Warfare principles to sales. There is a prayer for each day and then space to record your thoughts and prayer requests for that day. Following the initial 22 day format there is an additional section entitled Jungle Warfare Field Support with chapters on such subjects as depression, burn-out, exhaustion, worry, and a number or other topics. All of the topics are covered in relation to God and from a Christian perspective.
I would recommend this book for anyone that is involved in sales. It is fresh and unique in its approach to the sales process.

The American Patriot's Almanac by William J. Bennett and John T.E. Cribb
The American Patriot’s Almanac is a very interesting book and wonderful concept. It presents daily readings for this day in American history. In addition to the daily reading that offers a brief synopsis of the event described for that day there are a number of single sentence items for that day in history.
I found the format of the book very convenient and well organized. Each item has a date so you can start at anytime and read a page a day to make it through the entire year. The items presented for each day are interesting and, while some are well known, others are more obscure. Each is presented in a quick and easy to read format. The book is divided into chapters for each month and after each month there are also interesting sections on useful and historical information such as “The History of the Stars and Stripes” and “Flag Etiquette: Guidelines for Displaying and Handling the U.S. Flag.”
Anyone interested in learning more about U.S. History in an easy and fun way will enjoy this book. I would recommend it to both novice and studied history buffs!
