New Growth Press: Prepare Him Room Family Devotional and A Better December Reviews

Advent Season is over, but we are currently in the 12 Days of Christmas. Here are a couple of books that you might want to purchase now during the "After Christmas Day Shopping Season" to put away for next Advent Season. 


About the Book: 



Guide kids and their families into the heart of Christmas with this gospel-focused, four-week Advent curriculum. 

Prepare Him Room by children’s best-selling author Marty Machowski takes a biblical, theological approach to the Old Testament promises and New Testament fulfillment in Christ in a way kids can understand.

With age-appropriate instruction and activities for three different learning levels—preschool, lower elementary, and upper elementary—Prepare Him Room builds gospel hope and enduring theological depth into each child’s celebration of Christmas.

Prepare Him Room is a tool for families hoping to focus on Jesus during the Christmas season. Parents, teachers, and caregivers will find a whole Christmas story—from the prophecies concerning Jesus to his birth, death, and resurrection; culminating in the return of Jesus.

Readers will have the resources necessary to counter the commercialism, materialism, and sentimentalism our culture celebrates each Christmas.

Four weekly lessons feature a New Testament Bible story, a look at Old Testament promises, an object lesson, a craft, a coloring page, and a Christmas carol to sing together. 

Prepare Him Room will change the way kids and families at your church celebrate Christmas. The corresponding curriculum Prepare Him Room is sold separately. Challenge your family to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.


My Thoughts and Review: 

Every year I always see my friends looking for an Advent book to use with their family. A few are out there, but none like this. Prepare Him Room by Marty Machowski is a COMPLETE Advent Study Book. The book is very hands on with activities to do, songs to sing, verses to read and remember, and Bible reading time. I really appreciate that the activities are geared toward all ages. 
One of my favorite activities in the book is the very first one, making an Advent Wreath. The Advent Wreath is an important part of Advent and to have one that is made by your own family is special! 

If you are looking for a GREAT Family Advent Devotional, I HIGHLY recommend Prepare Him Room. 

Where to Buy: New Growth Press  Amazon



About the Book:

Know someone frazzled, sad, or lonely this Christmas? A Better December by Steve Estes applies Solomon’s Proverbs to holiday stresses. Playful and tiny, this illustrated work would be a good gift for your unbelieving friends as it gently introduces Jesus during a month when they are more receptive.  

Combining true, heart-warming stories with pen-and-ink illustrations, the book uncovers and answers our December longings. Beginning with bite-sized chapters of Solomon's advice to frazzled, lonely people at Christmas, Steven Estes presents the ancient sage as penning his blockbuster Proverbs to help future readers through holiday stress and even sadness. Meant to be shared with all who long for a better December, it points the way to true comfort and a true home.

My Thoughts and Review: 

December is a month that I have come to loathe. We are supposed to be celebrating the Advent season, but for many, like myself, it just brings added stress and loneliness. For some it also brings anxiety and/or depression. For me, I get major anxiety during December because I want everything to be PERFECT for my boys and to be able to get them what they want. Sometimes it isn't possible to get them everything they want and I fear they are going to "hate" me. For some people, it is they are missing a loved one or are lonely during the Holidays. 

A Better December is an EXCELLENT book for anyone who experiences the fear of December. Steven Estes, the author, gives examples of why some experience the fear of December. He then uses Proverbs to give encouragement on how to put aside the specific fears and be able to enjoy the Advent Season and the month of December. 

I can honestly say I truly wish I had this book a few years ago and been able to enjoy more holiday seasons with my boys and family! 

I HIGHLY recommend this book for those who fear December and are looking for encouragement to be able to enjoy the Advent Seasons going forward!

My Thoughts and Review: 
I LOVE Christmas time and I also LOVE reading Romantic Mystery, so this book caught my attention right away.

Toni, the owner of a Construction company she inherited from her dad, feels she is being watched. Toni is sensing that it could possibly be the "new guy in town", Perrin. She is also having a growing romantic attraction towards Perrin, so she is hoping he is not the one trying to sabotage her company.

I really enjoyed reading this book, the mystery and romance all in one is wonderful. The book was very easy to get caught up in and once I started reading I didn't want to stop. The characters and storyline are very intriguing and capture the reader from the beginning.

GREAT book!!

My Thoughts and Review: 

Escape is a short book that focuses on an important topic for todays young kids, bullying. The main character, Tyler, wants to fit in but may be hanging with the wrong crowd to do so. It took me a bit to get into the book, but once I got a couple chapters in, the reading picked up. The book is meant for young kids and teens, but for some parts it might be a little to much for kids under 14.

Fast, easy read. GREAT book that covers a topic that necessary for today's Christian youth!

My Thoughts and Review: 



The best part of my day is when I sit down for my Devotional and Prayer time. I usually have a Devotional book and a Prayer Journal. Well, these Devotional Journals combine the 2 into one. Each devotional has a theme for it and has 365 Devotionals, one for each day of the year. I really like that the Journals have strong and sturdy coverings, the pages are thick to prevent "bleed through' of pens and markers. Each journal comes with a Ribbon for a bookmark and an elastic band to close the Journal. 

My favorite theme Journal of the 3 was Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus. My life has been BUSY for a few years and the theme of this Journal is something that I much needed. I went through a time of letting the busyness of life lead me astray from spending time with God. When you focus on God, he gets you through the busy times with ease! 

Some Features of each Journal that are excellent: 
• Lay-flat binding
• Archive quality, non-bleed paper
• Daily devotional with lightly ruled space for responses, lists, or journaling
• Full-color interior design
• Presentation page for personalization
• Foil, ribbon
• Closure band

EXCELLENT Devotional Journals. I want to get some for some friends for the New Year! 

The Journals can be purchased at Various Retailers both Online and in Book Stores. Check your favorite Retailer for the Journals!

JustRead Tours: Silent Days and Holy Night by Phyllis Nichols Blog Tour and Giveaway

Silent Days Holy Night blog tour

Let's all get in the mood for Christmas with this blog tour and giveaway for Silent Days, Holy Night by Phyllis Clark Nichols, hosted by JustRead Tours.

ABOUT THE BOOK

silent days, holy night Title: Silent Days, Holy Night  
Author: Phyllis Clark Nichols  
Publisher: Gilead Publishing  
Release Date: October 30, 2018  
Genre: Contemporary Women’s Fiction/Christmas  

The sounds of Christmases past echo through a silent house...  

Everyone in town knows Emerald Crest, the green granite mansion atop the highest hill: the legendary, lavish Christmas festivities that used to light up the nights— and the silence that followed when the parties abruptly stopped many years ago. And everyone has heard whispers about the reclusive, mysterious master of the manor, Henry Lafferty the Second . . .

When eleven-year-old Julia Russell steps into the great house for the first time and meets Mr. Lafferty, the entire course of her life is altered. She meets a man who is nothing at all like the rumors she’s heard from neighbors and classmates. He’s kind and extraordinarily talented—he also happens to be deaf and uses a wheelchair. And when she overhears a secret about him, Julia decides it’s time for the town to bring Christmas back to Emerald Crest—an act that will change them all forever.

PURCHASE LINKS: Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | CBD | Book Depository

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Phyllis-Publicity750x1000

Phyllis Clark Nichols’s character-driven Southern fiction explores profound human questions using the imagined residents of small town communities you just know you’ve visited before. With a strong faith and a love for nature, art, music, and ordinary people, she tells redemptive tales of loss and recovery, estrangement and connection, longing and fulfillment . . . often through surprisingly serendipitous events.

Phyllis grew up in the deep shade of magnolia trees in South Georgia. Born during a hurricane, she is no stranger to the winds of change: In addition to her life as a novelist, Phyllis is a seminary graduate, concert pianist, and cofounder of a national cable network with health- and disability-related programming. Regardless of the role she’s playing, Phyllis brings creativity and compelling storytelling.

She frequently appears at conventions, conferences, civic groups, and churches, performing half-hour musical monologues that express her faith, joy, and thoughts about life—all with the homespun humor and gentility of a true Southern woman.

Phyllis currently serves on several nonprofit boards. She lives in the Texas Hill Country with her portrait-artist husband.

My Thoughts and Review:

I thought I knew what the storyline of this book would be, a Christmas themed novel that would focus on the reason for the season. Although, as I got into the book, I was totally and pleasantly surprised. Silent Days Holy Night is a story told through the voice of a child.

Julia Russell reminisces back to when she was 10yrs old and formed a friendship with Mr. Lafferty, who is the town recluse and shut in elderly man. Julia is the one person in town, at age 10, who Mr. Lafferty allows to get into his heart and space. The friendship they form over the years is precious and wonderful.

Silent Days and Holy Nights is a story that tugs at your heart and really shows the true meaning of the Christmas season: Humanity, kindness and love and friendships in a way that is so precious. A real "feel good" book!

Grab the book, your favorite Hot Drink for winter, and a blanket and cuddle up for a worthwhile read! GREAT BOOK!

My Thoughts and Review:

Reading "When the Heart Sings" was the first time I read a book by Liz Tolsma and I was hooked from the first page.

"When the Heart Sings" is a powerful book on a very Historical time period, World War II.

I really enjoyed reading about Natia and Teodor endure many struggles in their relationship, especially during War time, but manage to come out stronger as a couple. The book has many twists and turns, but is wonderfully written. I actually learned some new things about history reading this book, as it is written in a intriguing way and brings the reader to the time period of the book. 

GREAT Book,
especially for those who like Historical Fiction and Romance.

JustRead Tours: Teal Paisley Tights by Barbara Brutt Blog Blitz, Excerpt and Giveaway

TealPaisleyTights_Blitz

Welcome to the Blog Blitz & Giveaway for Teal Paisley Tights by Barbara Brutt, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours! Happy Release Day to this debut author!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Teal Paisley Tights  
Author: Barbara Brutt  
Publisher: Vinspire Publishing
Release Date: November 15, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Comedy

Life post-graduation was supposed to see the launch of paisley-loving Jadyn’s art career, or at least an art gallery showing one of her watercolor paintings. Instead, this Pittsburgh native is locked into a low-paying, buttoned-up consultant position with an impossible boss. When another colleague is dismissed, Jadyn inherits extra workload, including the company’s biggest client. If she loses him, she’s fired.

Jadyn people-pleases her way through life, resulting in extra work opportunities and a community classroom of art students. But when two guys appear on her doorstep, she just might not be able to people-please her way out of this love triangle. At the end of the day, she can’t please everyone.

Then, because of a small spending problem, Jadyn is evicted from her apartment, and she must move in with her know-it-all sister. Jadyn needs to decide between a job transfer that would place her near her love interest, or a full-time art career with all its risks.

Stretched like canvas between responsibility and dreams, she must choose. Will practicality always win?

Excerpt
What was so wrong with fun, patterned tights anyway?

Coffee. Coffee would take the edge off my fun-deprived morning. I slipped my black heels back on and walked out of my cubicle, only to remember that I needed to mail a client some information packets. Two steps back, and I stood over my desk, rifling through papers. I found the envelopes and scooped them up.

The cubicle wall creaked.

Ethan.

He leaned against the fabric-cladded partitioning, and warmth spread across my face. Forget garden gnomes. I wanted a life-sized marble sculpture of him. I imagined him actually leaning his entire weight against the wall, and how it would buckle underneath his pure muscle.

Smile.

Read with Audra Blog Tour: Into the Deep by Lauren Gaskill



About the Book: 


Develop enduring faith for the turbulent waters of life.


Following Jesus doesn’t guarantee sunny skies and smooth sailing. In fact, the waters of life are often tumultuous, crashing over us. Sometimes we can feel that we’re drowning in a sea of confusion, division, frustration, complacency, or disillusionment. We need more than a shallow faith to survive these deep waters.
Into the Deep is an invitation to dive headfirst into a life of courageous faith. With endearing warmth and authenticity, Lauren Gaskill shares how she and others have learned to swim with Jesus in the deep waters of life—facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, and chronic illness—only to discover a more authentic, enduring faith that cannot be shaken by circumstances. In addition to examining the character of God and the lives of women and men of the Bible who chose to dive deeper with God, she provides practical examples and tools that help us take our faith to the next level by learning to make decisions by faith alone, control our reactions to overwhelming situations, and live a life rooted in love.

Get ready to exchange fear and frustration for the boldness, courage, and holy confidence that lead to a life of deep faith and joy!

About the Author:


Lauren Gaskill is an author, speaker and host of the Finding Joy podcast and Finding Joy Ladies Night Out events. After being diagnosed with an incurable connective tissue disorder, Lauren made it her life mission to encourage others to fight for faith and find joy — no matter what life’s circumstances might bring.

Gaskill is a storyteller who believes stories are powerful and loves how God uses them for His good. She writes and speaks to motivate and inspire others to experience abundant life in Christ. She is particularly passionate about encouraging women to fight for faith and go deeper in their relationship with Jesus. Gaskill also writes and speaks about what it looks like to walk with Jesus through pain and suffering.

She lives in Raleigh, NC with her husband and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

My Thoughts and Review: 

I was intrigued by the title of this book, as sometimes I really need to "go deep" into my faith to get uplifted. Life brings us Trials and Tribulations and we can choose to grab onto to our faith and trust Jesus to bring us out of our Trials and Tribulations.

Lauren Gaskill shares her personal struggles and and how she overcame and what she learned along the way. Lauren is very open about her struggles. The book is filled with wisdom on overcoming struggles in life and relying on God during these times. I really appreciate the "Questions for Reflections" at the end of each chapter.

GREAT book for all times of life, but especially for those who really need to "go deep" into their faith!

Book Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars
