A Very Happy Easter Prayer
Bonnie Rickner Jenson
Illustrated by Natalia Moore

As a Mom, I am always looking for great books to add to our home library. I especially love books that are holiday themed. I also love books that share God’s love with my children.

A Very Happy Easter Prayer by Bonnie Rickner Jenson is the perfect book for Easter. The book itself is gorgeous. The front cover is slightly textured which makes the book look beautiful with it’s shimmer and sparkle.

Natalie Moore out does herself with the adorable, yet beautiful imagery on each page of this absolutely wonderful board book. The pages are filled with daffodils, picnics underneath the big tree that’s featured on the book’s cover, tulips with bee hives and so many more lovely things to see.

The cover features a trio of rabbits but the book inside is filled with many great animals: bees, a fox, an owl, a duck, a moose, a bear and so many more. This book is about God’s wonderful world, so much more than just the rabbits. You’re child will love seeing the love these animals share as friends and through God’s love as well.

The story itself shares thankfulness for Spring, for rain and gentle breezes. It shares thankfulness for bluebirds and dandelions and honey bees. It shares thankfulness for fluffy bunnies, for adventures and for Jesus’ birth and love. It shares thankfulness for all the things that make Easter morning special.

This is a lovely book that would be a great addition to any family library. A Very Happy Easter Prayer by Bonnie Rickner Jenson is from Tommy Nelson Publishers and is part of their A Time To Pray series. It sales for $8.99 in bookstores and online.

Prairie Song {Blogging For Books Review}

May 4, 2017 by Dana

Prairie Song

by

Mona Hodgson

Mona Hodgson has written a beautiful novel in Prairie Song, the first of the Hearts Seeking Home series. Prairie Song tells the story of Anna Goben and leads the reader on a journey unlike any other. A journey of hope, of love, of new beginnings.

Anna Goben wishes to start anew. She is tired of her daily life and her family’s struggle. She feels the need to join Boone’s Lick Company Wagon Train and see what adventure lies ahead of her.

Anna’s family has suffered great loss. Her beloved brother never made it home from the Civil War. Her Mother and Grandfather are paralyzed by their grief. Anna believes that a new start in California is just what her family needs.

Anna never expects to find love at the end of her journey. She only hopes to find a brand new start. Through God’s grace and love, Anna and her family find hope and love of their own.

I loved this story of starting over, finding love and happiness in a new place in life. Anna’s story is one you won’t wish to miss!

Prairie Song is available from Walterbrook Multnomah for $14.99 in paperback or $11.99 as an eBook. You can also purchase Prairie Song through Mona Hodgson’s personal website.

Grumble Hallelujah {Tyndale Review}

June 6, 2013 by Dana

Grumble, grumble, grumble… do you find that you grumble about your life many days? Do you often find you blame others for the issues you have? Do you even find yourself blaming God? Or how about asking him “why me, Lord?”

Welcome to the principles behind Grumble Hallelujah! Grumble Hallelujah teaches you how NOT to grumble, place blame or even turn against the things you “think” are causing your problems in your life. Grumble Hallelujah teaches you how to LOVE YOUR LIFE even as it’s letting you down.

This is the story of Caryn Dahlstrand Rivadeneira. Caryn tells us how she went from crying on the floor of her kitchen to praising God through all of her storms. Her life was disappointing and far from the original dreams she once had. So far that she couldn’t even imagine praising the Lord in the midst of all this trouble.

It was during one of her troubled moments that Caryn came to realize that all her grumbling was getting her no where. The only way to change her life was to seek the good and praise all that was, regardless of the circumstance. By praising God’s glory, even in times of trial, Caryn was able to overcome her depression and build a stronger faith than she’d every experienced before.

Grumble Hallelujah humorously helps readers find their own praise for things in their life by sharing Caryn’s heart-filled trials and triumphs, showing there is a better way to live. Grumble Hallelujah will help you clearly see that everything, even the bad, has God’s hand in it and He truly has a reason for it all. Live life for Him and you will never need to grumble again.

Grumble Hallelujah is available for purchase for $14.99 in paperback or $9.99 for Kindle.
