God Loves Mommy & Me {FrontGate Review}

April 24, 2017 by Dana

God Loves Mommy & Me is a beautifully written and designed book for young children. Bonnie Rickner Jensen has gone beyond to share the story of God’s Love for us and our children. Laura Watkins has created some of the most beautiful images that truly speak to your heart.

God Loves Mommy & Me is a soft cover board book designed to be easy to hold and read together. The pages are glossy and easy to clean but thick enough for your little one to be able to easily turn the pages. Each page features the beautiful artwork of Laura Watkins, sharing the Mommy and Baby Rabbits and how God loves them no matter what they do.

This book teaches forgiveness, prayer and love from morning to night. My children and I truly loved the imagery and story shared within this book. It was easy for us to relate to the loving moments and discuss how Baby and Mommy Rabbit felt.

You can purchase your own copy of God Loves Mommy & Me online for $7.54.

You can join in with the Harper Collins Children’s Books Giveaway for this book as well.

Embrace Grace {Frontgate Media Review}

March 15, 2017 by Dana

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.

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

Alison’s Choice {FrontGate Media Review}

February 1, 2017 by Dana

Alison’s Choice

A Film About Life

DVD $12.95

Alison’s Choice is a movie that speaks to your heart. Sometimes in life mistakes are made and options to correct those mistakes are consider that aren’t always given the thought they deserve. When we are young, with our future ahead of us, these mistakes can feel like burdens when they shouldn’t always feel that way.

Alison’s Choice is the story of Alison. Like many young girls, Alison is in love and her love leads her to giving into lust. Now she must decided what to do with the result of her escapade.

Alison thinks abortion may be the only answer. Her boyfriend is pushing her to fix the mistake. She isn’t sure how she can manage to raise a child when she’s barely able to take care of herself.

Alison visits the local clinic, alone. Her boyfriend texts but can’t be bothered to be there for her. While at the clinic, Alison comes across many others who are like her only in their own situations: a Mom who doesn’t need the extra burden right now, another young girl who has done this twice already and feels it’s just another mistake to take care of, and a few others.

Alison’s heart is telling her no while others are saying YES loudly. She isn’t sure what to do. With the help of a caring receptionist and God himself manifested as a janitor that only she can see, Alison chooses life. She chooses a future made for her with her daughter that is forming within her.

Alison’s Choice was a really wonderful movie. I wasn’t sure about it at first but overall I honestly enjoyed watching it. My almost 14 year old daughter watched as well and I hope that some day if she’s ever in this type of situation, she too will choose Life. It is my hope that by watching this with me, she was able to see that she does have options for something she may one day consider a mistake.

Alison’s Choice stars Chanel Marriott, Bruce Marchiano, and Gregg Wayans. It is 92 minutes in length. It’s recommended for ages 13 and up.

I really think this movie would be great for all young girls to see. You can purchase Alison’s Choice on DVD for $12.95 or digitally for $9.99. You can also purchase a 10 DVD pack for $99.95 to pass out to others. A One-Year Unlimited Screening License is also available for $89.95.

Here’s is a sneak peak of Alison’s Choice for you to enjoy:
