A Very Happy Easter Prayer {FrontGate Review}

by

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.

God Loves Daddy & Me {FrontGate Review}

by

Bonnie Rickner Jensen
This review comes to us from FrontGate Blogger Network.  We were gifted a free copy of God Loves Daddy & Me by Bonnie Rickner Jensen.  A few weeks ago we reviewed another book in this series called God Loves Mommy & Me also written by Bonnie Rickner Jensen.  You can read that review here.
God Loves Daddy & Me is very similar to God Loves Mommy & Me in design and artwork which are both done by Laura Watkins.  Laura and Bonnie work great together to create adorably intriguing books for children.  These books are simply awesome!

God Loves Daddy & Me features an adorable Raccoon Daddy and baby.  These guys really make you want to cuddle them up.  God Loves Mommy and Me featured an adorable set of Bunnies.  The Raccoons are a little more manly, in my opinion, which is great since this story is about Daddy!
The story takes the Raccoons on an adventure together showing all the way through that God is there and God loves them both.  They build forts, they go out in their boat, they take walks together just to talk.  One of my favorite parts is how they work together to get things done, like chores and then they can have lots of fun!
They play and camp, they hug and love and forgive one another.  And best of all, they pray.  Together they pray for the good and the bad in their days.
This is a wonderful christian book for your little one and just in time for Father’s Day!  You can grab a copy of God Loves Daddy & Me for $6.50 from Amazon.  You’ll love adding this one to your library at home.

Embrace Grace {Frontgate Media Review}

by

Embrace Grace provides a safe place for girls and women with unplanned pregnancies.  Every day finds another young girl or woman wondering what their future holds because today brought news of an unexpected child.  Embrace Grace helps women find love, comfort and a safe place to embrace their pregnancy without condemnation or judging.
Embrace Grace is a beautiful community resource that you can bring to your local church to help support these women in need.  Embrace Grace provides curriculum to teach those in your church community how to truly help these women spiritually, emotionally and practically to encourage them to not give up and keep their heads high in situations that have been previously known to bring shame.
Unplanned Pregnancy should not be a shameful thing for women to deal with.  Every child is a blessing and a gift.  To many times women are taught that having a child out of wedlock is a shameful thing, leading them to take drastic measures to see that the problem is corrected.  Embrace Grace is helping to change this stigma attached to unplanned pregnancy by giving the Church a way to help and showing support to these women who truly need to be lifted up in Christ’s Love.
Embrace Grace provides women with unplanned pregnancies with a Love Box entitled Love In A Box.  This gift box is filled with items to encourage the Mother and show support and love to her during this difficult time.  It is a wonderful way to who support of these women.
The box includes:
  • Branded Box
  • “Special Gift” Postcard
  • “Dear Brave Girl” Love Letter
  • “A Bump in the Life” Book
  • “Best Gift Ever” Onesie
  • Brave Journal
  • A free gift offer if the Mother reaches out to Embrace Grace
For this review, we were gifted the Pro-Love necklace and the Brave Journal.  The necklace is a simple bar shape with the words Pro-Love stamped on, connected by a chain to the enclosure.  It’s adorable and a great way to be supportive of Embrace Grace.
The Brave Journal is a great place to write what you are feeling, a letter to your unborn baby, take notes for your next steps.  The cover was colorful and inspiring.  It’s small to fit inside a purse or diaper bag as well.
These were only two small samples of the wonderful gifts that Embrace Grace provides to these beautiful women and soon-to-be Mothers in support of them.  Embrace Grace is a wonderful program, one that every church should participate in to support these women who need our love the most.  You can find out how you can support this program and start your own Embrace Grace program within your local church by visiting the Embrace Grace website online.
There is also a giveaway you can join in to WIN a journal and necklace of your own.  Here is the LINK for it: https://www.blessedfreebies.com/embrace–grace.html
Here are several ways you can help support Embrace Grace:
  1. Start an Embrace Grace at your local church so young women with unplanned pregnancies have a support group. 
  2. Partner with the national organization through prayer and support at www.EmbraceGrace.com

Dear Brave Girl,
I know times are hard right now and you may not know where to turn, but don’t give up.  And don’t give in to the temptation to just end your child’s life as I know may have crossed your mind.   Media makes that seem like the easy solution but it isn’t.  Your heart still has to live with the decision long after that choice is made.
There are other options.  Adoption if you truly cannot afford the child.  There is always someone who is near to you who wishes for the very child you are carrying right now.  Someone who would be blessed by your decision to keep this child alive.
And then there is the fact that this baby, though it may not seem like it today, is a true blessing from God. One you may not realize you need in your life.  Children change our lives for the better.
God is with you, Dear One.  Do not be disheartened and do not give up.  He holds your hand when it seems there is no one around.  He will carry you, love you, support you every step if you just allow him to do so.
With God’s love you will overcome and you will find Love through your child that you never imagined possible.
God bless and many prayers for you,
Dana
