Book Review: The Answers Book for Kids Volume 3 and 4

The Answers Book for Kids Volume 3: 22 Questions from Kids on God and the Bible and Volume 4: 22 Questions from Kids on Sin, Salvation and the Christian Life by Ken Ham are great resources for helping your children try and understand some of the big questions they having rolling around in their minds.  Thses books are great at helping guide the child to find out those "Why" questions and to dig deeper into the Bible.

 Each page has a question from a child, a response and extra scriptures that you can use to learn even more of what God's word says about the question.  Some of the questions are, "Who made God?, How big is God?, Why does God let the bad guys win sometimes?, How does God get His power? Where does He get it from?" 

This was also a great resource for me, as a parent, on my journey of faith and wrestling through some of the more difficult questions of life.  I really enjoyed the pictures used on each page.  They were creatively put together to help match the question asked.  I have not yet read Volumes 1 and 2 but I am sure they were done with the same quality and accuracy as Volumes 3 and 4.  I would definitely recommend having these in your home library, town library and/or church library. 

Book Review: The Creation Story for Children

If you are looking for a book to engage your child and tell God's story of creation, look no further.  Helen & David Haidle have written, "The Creation story for Children" that captures the beauty of God's creation through pictures and God's word.

Some of the pages are also fun to use as a "seek and find" because there are so many pictures used to show what God created on each day.

I am encouraged that the authors stick close to God's word and not just another paraphrase of the Genesis creation account.  At the end of the book, they go through amazing creatures, amazing senses, amazing shapes and colors in depth and show animals in each category. 

I really love this book and highly recommend you add this to your library.  It will be the only creation book you will need to teach your children the truth about God's creation.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I once again had great vision of sending out cards by mail this year and it slipped my mind.  I was really preoccupied with an interesting gift this year that took up most of my brain power.  My grandmother collects nativities so we decided that our family was going to pose as the nativity, frame it and give it as the most unique nativity she will ever possess.  The angel on the right is my aunt and she lives in Canada so I actually superimposed her into the picture....amazing complicated but the Lord provided an amazing picture for us. So Happy New Year from the Fleishours and belated Merry Christmas our Savior has come!!
