Read and Share Toddler Bible

I was excited to receive the Read and Share Toddler Bible. I look forward to reading the book to my 2 1/2 year old daughter as I feel that the book is geared for her age group perfectly. The Stories and illustrations are perfect for her to grasp and understand and the DVD is an added bonus that will teach her even more. It is the perfect size for her little hands to sit and read herself as she thinks she is a "big girl" now. I like how it references for the parents where to find each particular story in their own bible for more knowledge. This will be a book that my daughter loves for years to come. The bright colors and great use of words for little ones to understand make me a very happy parent.

What's He Really Thinking? by Paula Reinhart

What's He Really Thinking? Written by Paula Reinhart is a genius book and I think that everyone should read it. She focuses on the relationship a woman has with the man in her life but it can easily be used to have a better relationship with all men in their circle of family and even friends. Her use of real life examples help cement her knowledge so that you know and say “wow” I get that. I understand. She tries to explain the men’s side and the woman’s side of the situation to show how both minds work in completely different ways revolving around the same situation. I think this should be a requirement for all couples before marriage.

The Noticer by Andy Andrews

The Noticer by Andy Andrews is a wonderful inspirational story about a man named "Jones" who drifts around a southern town and encounters people when they need him the most. It seems that when someone is at a crossroads in their life "Jones" not Mr. Jones, just "Jones" is always around to help you through that crossroads. He has so many words of wisdom that I often wondered if these events actually happened. It seems to me that this is a book that is meant to make you think about your own life and what you can do to help yourself as well as what you can do to help others as you live your every day life. You do not need to do extraordinary things in order to help a person - sometimes it is just being there and offering some reassurance. Overall, I enjoyed the book and would read another of his books in the future.
