Propeller Review

The Star Movie {Propeller Review}

March 9, 2018 by Dana

I am so very excited for this utterly adorable movie’s release!  The STAR Movie tells the story of Jesus’ birth from the animals point of view.  AFFIRM Films, along with Sony Pictures, have truly outdone themselves with this wonderful children’s movie.

The STAR Movie was made available on DVD & Blu-Ray on February 20, 2018.  Digital release was a few days earlier on February 6, 2018.  It is definitely one movie you are not going to want to miss.

The voices behind the movie are some of the BEST:  Steven Yeun of “The Walking Dead”, Aidy Bryant from “Saturday Night Live”, Tracy Morgan of “30 Rock”, Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey, just to name a few.  Songs by Mariah Carey, Fifth Harmony and Kelsea Ballerini, among others.  This movie has brought together some of the greatest artists of our time.

The story, as I mentioned above, tells of the Birth of Christ from the point of view of the animals.   The main character is Bo the Donkey.  Bo is small, but brave.  He wishes for a life outside of where he’s at: he wants to be special.  He finds his courage, breaks free and ends up on the adventure of a lifetime.

On his journey, he meets the adorable and lovable sheep, Ruth, who has lost her flock.  He also meets Dave, a dove who aspires to be more.  Three wise-cracking camels also cross his path as he follows the Star and becomes the heroes of the greatest story that’s ever been told!

The STAR Movie also includes an hour of wonderful bonus materials, including the “Star-aoke: Sing Along with Bo & Friends”.  I don’t know about you but we LOVE sing-alongs at our house.  For us, this is one of the best bonuses to have.

There’s also a dance along, a variety of lyric videos that will get your family singing out loud, crafts and baking ideas complete with “how-to” videos.  Go behind the scenes and meet the cast.  See who played who and how they made the magic happen.

But honestly, the BEST bonus is the amazing Live Guided “Faith All Year Round” Bible Study from Devon Franklin.  This study is interactive.  Devon really makes learning about the Bible fun and helps bring the Spirit to Life for children.  You’re going to love this addition to this already outstanding movie!

You can start your family-friendly weekly Bible Study with Devon Franklin by visiting this link:

The STAR Movie is rated PG and is approximately 86 minutes long.  It’s available for purchase for around $17.99 online or in stores.  This is one movie you’re going to LOVE!

Once Upon A Time Bible Set {Propeller Review}

April 12, 2017 by Dana

Once Upon A Time Holy Bible
Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible
Zonderkidz
As a Mom of girls, Once Upon A Time is a familiar phrase in our house.  I know growing up, any book I read that started with Once Upon A Time was sure to become a favorite of mine quickly, from Cinderella to Beauty and the Beast.  Fairytales are still a favorite of mine and my girls have followed in my footsteps as well.
The Once Upon A Time Holy Bible and the Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible from Zonderkidz, a division of Zondervan, were designed to capture the interest of Fairytale lovers.  Only these Fairytales are real and Biblical based for adults and children to enjoy together.  The Bible is no Fairytale.  Every book within was written Once Upon A Time to tell the story of God’s Love for us.
The Once Upon A Time Holy Bible is simply gorgeous.  The cover and images within were designed by Omar Aranda.  They are absolutely beautiful.  The cover features Once Upon A Time in shiny gold lettering.  There is a tree featured as well with beautiful, shimmering glittered green leaves.  This special touch gives this Bible the look Fairytales are made of.  
Inside there is a dedication page for the person receiving the Bible. There are many illustrated pages as well, featuring verses of the Bible to share the stories within.  Each verse is written in storybook form so as to tell the story behind the verse and draw the reader in to want to learn more. 
The Once Upon A Time Holy Bible is a complete New International Reader’s Version Holy Bible.  The full word of the Bible is included within.  Located in the back of the Bible are a dictionary and a list of 92 Great Bible Stories for you to read. 
Along with the Once Upon A Time Holy Bible, we were also sent the Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible.  This book is a hardback storybook, sharing 33 stories  from different parts of the New and Old Testaments.  Though the color is not quite as sparkly as the Once Upon A Time Bible, the Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible features gorgeous artwork within created by Omar Aranda as well.  

The Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible tells stories of the Bible taken from various verses.  At the end of each story is a Happily Ever After featured section which shares a Bible Verse to look up, as well as a small prayer to say and discuss with your child.  What a great way to encourage prayer with your little one!
We truly love our Once Upon A Time Holy Bible and our Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible.  I chose to give these to Laycie as she’s the right age for them at 9 and she’s been asking for a new Bible.  She has greatly enjoyed looking over the images inside with me and discussing the stories for each.  
You can purchase your own Once Upon A Time Holy Bible where fine books are sold for $24.99 US.  You can purchase your own Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible at Sam’s Club or wherever fine books are sold for $16.99 US.

Zondervan: The Beginner’s Bible for Children {Propeller Review}

January 4, 2017 by Dana

The Beginner’s Bible

Timeless Children’s Stories

Zonderkidz

$12.88

Growing up, I greatly enjoyed listening to my Mother read to me from our classic Bible stories book.  It is one of my favorite memories as a child.  As a parent I am always looking for new books to share with my own children and books that share wonderfully written stories from the Bible always top that list.  So when I was approached to review The Beginner’s Bible: Timeless Children’s Stories from Zonderkidz, I knew that this book would fit well with our family.
The Beginner’s Bible shares many wonderful stories from different parts of the Bible.  From the story of Noah to Jesus and many more.  These are the timeless classics that have been told to children for centuries, that never tire and are rooted deep in important lessons for all of us.  
The Beginner’s Bible has been around for a while now and is a classic in it’s own right but Zonderkidz has completely changed the original format of the Bible by creating a whole new look.  The pages are crisp and concise, featuring 3D imagery for the new illustrations.  The font is larger for little ones to be able to see better, making it easier for them to read God’s Word.  The pages are now glossy which makes it easier to keep the pages cleaner for years of repeat reading and sharing with  your little one.
The Beginner’s Bible includes 90 stories from the Bible and is written for kids ages 6 and under.  To be honest though, all of my children enjoyed this Bible, including my older kids who read many of the stories to the younger children.  My younger daughter has enjoyed this copy of The Beginner’s Bible the most though, reading it to her little brother and sharing the stories with me as well.  It’s been great for helping her develop her reading skills and we are thrilled to have it added to our family’s library as well.
You can add a copy of The Beginner’s Bible: Timeless Children’s Stories from Zondervan to your family library as well for $12.88, available online through Amazon.com. This book also makes a great gift to share with others.  I hope you enjoy The Beginner’s Bible as much as we do in our home!
Graciously, Zonderkidz and Flyby Promotions is giving one copy of The Beginner’s Bible away to one of my lucky readers.  Please leave me a comment below on this post to tell me why you’d like to win a copy of this wonderful Children’s Bible for your home today!  I look forward to hearing from you.

Ellie Claire Bible Journaling Kit {Propeller Review}

December 1, 2016 by Dana

Ellie Claire Bible Journaling Kit
Worthy Publishing Group
$18.94 at Amazon.com

I’m relatively new in the world of Bible Journaling but I’ve wanted to attempt this beautiful artform for a while now so when I was contacted in regards to this review, I immediately agreed to join in.  I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect in the Ellie Claire Bible Journaling Kit when I accepted the review but I was surprised when my kit came and I opened it to find all the hidden gems inside.  Worthy Publishing Group packed the Ellie Claire Bible Journaling Kit full of some pretty neat stuff.

The kit comes in a blue box just like the image above.  On the back of the box, it shows all the awesome things you will find inside.  22 awesome items to be exact!


Included in this kit are:
4 sheets of word stickers
4 sheets of alphabet stickers
3 sheet of tab stickers equally 24 tabs total
8 colored twist pencils
1 archival quality journaling pen
1 pouch with an adjustable strap to fit Bibles of all sizes
1 ruled page protector mat with tracing lines and a die cut shaped edge

I loved every single one of these!

They are perfect for anyone just starting out with Bible journaling.   They are just as perfect for a journaling pro.  The kit is a really great fit for one and all!

The alphabet stickers come in capital and lowercase letters in two different fonts.  They also include numbers and symbols.  These are a fun addition to your journaling pages. 


The word stickers are just as amazing with lots of phrases and symbols.  The only thing I was disappointed in is that they are only in black and white and not in color.  They can be dressed up by simply marking over them to give them color though.


The tab sticker sheets are all in color.  Some include words or phrases and some are blank for you to fill in with your own words.  They are included to mark special bible passages for you to easily find.

The pencil pouch comes in a bright green with teal accenting and white lettering.  I loved the pop of color it gives the kit.  It has an adjustable strap included which allows it to fit over any Bible, making it easy to keep up with. 

Everything fits nicely inside except for the page protector.


There are also 8 twistable pencils, an archival journaling pen and a ruled page protector mat included in the kit.  The page protector includes decorative edging in a multiple patterns to use in your artwork.  I thought that was a great added feature.


You can order your own Ellie Claire Bible Journaling Kit for yourself or as a gift at Amazon.com for $18.94 with free shipping at the time of this post.

Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame by Heather Davis Nelson {Propeller Review}

July 14, 2016 by Dana

Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame
Written by Heather Davis Nelson
$11.04 Paperback
Let’s face it.  We’ve all dealt with shame at some point in our lives.  Shame of a hurtful past, of an addiction, of career failure, parenting challenges: the list could go on and on.  Having dealt with shame, most of us have wondered how to overcome and let go of the hurt, pain and well depressive qualities it often brings on. 

In Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame, Heather Davis Nelson helps challenge us to learn how to deal with this traumatic emotion.  Unashamed is a devotional that reaches out to the reader to help them relate and realize that we are all equal in our emotion of shame and that we can all overcome this emotion to become happier and stronger individuals in time no matter what your shame is.  
Unashamed is a 192 page paperback devotional published by Crossway.  It contains an Introduction, 9 chapters, a Conclusion, two Appendixes, a general and a scriptural index as well.  Each chapter begins with a quote or a scriptural reference relating to the chapter itself.  Each chapter then breaks down into subtitles discussing different levels of shame and how to heal them.  The chapters end with a reflection and discussion that can be used as a journal entry if you’re completing the study alone, as a point of discussion if you’re working through this book with your spouse, or a reflection and discussion if you are working through this book with your book club or church group.  
Unashamed gets you thinking and helps you to heal your emotional wounds.  It’s a wonderfully written book that could be used in many ways and should be recommended for every one to read.  You can purchase Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame by Heather Davis Nelson online at Amazon or in your local bookstore.

My Mother’s Quilts by Ramona Richards {Propeller Review}

July 14, 2016 by Dana

My Mother’s Quilts

Devotions of Love, Legacy, Family and Faith
Written by Ramona Richards
Ramona Richards was left a wonderful legacy by her Mother.  Her Mother, a master quilter, left behind a collection of quilts that contained much more than just beauty.  They were a part of history, a link to the past and a piece of her treasured heart.  These quilts were much more than cloth.  They were woven pieces of love.
As time passed, Ramona Richards decided to write a devotional like no other, sharing the stories of her Mother’s quilts, the love behind the stitches and the legacy and faith her Mother left behind.  My Mother’s Quilts is the result of a love of a Mother willing to pass on her memories and love.  It is a devotional that will touch deep into your heart.

My Mother’s Quilts contains a multitude of devotionals each centered around 13 different quilts that belonged to Ramona’s Mother and also her Grandmother.  Each chapter begins with a picture of the quilt along with it’s name.  It is followed with scripture and then continues to share the quilt’s story.  The chapters each end with a prayer starter for you to meditate on throughout your day.  
This book is written in full color format, sharing multiple pictures of the quilts themselves, helping to bring their stories to life.  It’s 240 pages in length and small enough to fit in your bag or be carried by hand, yet large enough that it’s not a struggle to read through.  It’s a hardback book with a gorgeous book jacket. 
When I received this review item, I had no idea what was in store for me.  Immediately, I began reading through the devotions and I was so touched by them that I new right away I wanted to pass this book on to my Mother who has struggled spiritually since losing her Mother several years ago.  This book touched her heart and is one she has deeply enjoyed reading as well.  Mother and Daughter alike, My Mother’s Quilts is the perfect devotional for each of you!
My Mother’s Quilts by Ramona Richards is available in bookstores and online.  It is listed on Amazon for $14.26 for the hardcover book.  This is definitely one devotional you do not want to miss out on!
