Purpose of this Blog...

You may have noticed that not all books are equal in capturing children's imaginations and in cultivating those innocent, tender souls. My goal is to help you find the ones that do!

BOOK BUNDLE GIVE-AWAY!

My giveaway today has something for everyone...a board book for your toddler/preschooler, a chapter book for your 7-12 year old reader, and a devotional book for the family.



First, the board book: 
I Pray Today by Angela Isaacs, illustrated by Amandine Wanert.  This precious new book published by Ancient Faith is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers.  It's all about their day - its ups and downs.  And one small prayer goes with each: "Lord have mercy".

We follow a little girl from the time she gets up through the time she goes to bed. Among other things, the in-between time is filled with prayer for a sick friend, prayer for her picnic, prayer when she gets hurt, and even when she has a tussle with her little brother.

I really like the illustrations.  They are as cozy and sweet and simple as the text.  Your child will love this book!  For bedtime or anytime.

Book number two: 
The Barn & the Book.  I reviewed this chapter book in my last post, here.  It's the second in a fun series by Melinda Johnson.  I think girls and boys alike with really enjoy this story - and feel like they've visited a monastery without even leaving home.  (But I hope you actually do consider taking your child to visit a monastery!)

The third book in today's Book Bundle:
A new offering from Fr. Lawrence R. Farley. This not-to-be missed devotional will be a welcome addition to your daily prayer time.  It's A Daily Calendar of Saints.  Fr. Lawrence's short accounts of these ancient men and women of faith are very readable, and great for personal or family devotions.  Or or two saint's lives are shared each calendar day, and at the end of the book readings for the Paschal Cycle are also included.  And the cover is gorgeous! 

So, I hope you like this bundle!  Leave a comment and your name on this post by Friday night, November 16, 2018 for a chance to win.  Comments must be posted by 11:59 PST.  And tell a friend!
