A Bible to Keep, A Bible to Teach, a really good Bible to Learn from…December 16, 2010

I think I have become a Lucado fan, somewhat.  His book “Out Live Your Life” calmed my hesitant thoughts, this “Life Lessons Study Bible” won me over.  What a fantastic resource! This Bible reads more like a lesson plan, or a daily devotional – very easy on the eyes, has applicable life lessons that I know everyone can relate to, and is just downright inspired.  The Bible text itself is broken down making it a very easy read, with easy spacing and bold headers.  Very nice!  Lucado’s side header thoughts (he calls them ‘life lessons’) are surprisingly good.  You can make this more into a personal Bible study....I know this Bible will be a part of mine.  Excellent!

Daily nuggets of American History…what a treasure!...December 6, 2010.

What an absolute treasure of a book!!  For each day of the year you can read about a significant event in history. Following that, you can read about other significant historical events that occurred on that same date in other years, cleverly called “American History Parade”.  Authors William Bennett and John Gribb have clearly done their research, and have given their readers a gift of history knowledge.  This is a truly inspirational book with fascinating details of our great country that everyone should know and enjoy!  The book also includes the facts of how our Constitution was written, as well as a copy of the Constitution and its amendments. This incredible book includes prayers, poems and significant information about each State in our great nation.

There has never been a time more important for patriotism to be renewed in the heart of the American people. This almanac is sure to inspire both patriotism as well as gratefulness unto God for allowing us to enjoy the freedom so unique to the United States. I simply cannot recommend this book highly enough! There should be a copy in every home in America!
