The Jesus Book By Stephen Elkins


When this book came to the house my 4 year old open the package and took the book The Jesus Book By Stephen Elkins. He took the book and look at the awesome illustration done by Claudie Gervry. The book open up great opportunity to talk about Christ and all that he has done for us and do it in a way that a 4 year old can understand.
Stephen take a personal look at Jesus Christ and talk about the Who,What, Where, When and Why of Christ. He talk about each one using the bible to tell the story.
The Jesus book is very well done and this book is a must have to all parents that are teach their kids about the Savior of the world.
On part that I love the most about this book is the When it happened part Stephen draws a nice time line from the time creation of the world to when Christ ascends back into heaven. Ever well done and great tool to teach your kids about the gospel truths.
To top is all off this book comes with a musical CD that has over 3o songs about Jesus and it a great CD to listen to on Sundays when getting ready for church. I recommend this book to all.
This books was given to me free from the Thomas Nelson Book Review.

Everday Greatness by Stephen R. Covey



I have always liked short stories that make you feel good after you read them and this is what Stephen Covey and David Hatch have done with this book with the help of one of the best magazine to date the Readers Digest. I got this book from the Thomas Nelson Book Review program. (brb.thomasnelson.com).

There are three Choice each day that we need to make:
1. The Choice to act
2. The Choice of Purpose
3. The Choice of Principles.

The great thing about this book is that you can read it from cover to cover or you can find a subject that you feel you need in your life and you can start there. I really like this book and it is fill with great stories, quotes and ideas that really hit at the heart strings.
