No More Perfect Marriages {Moody Publishers Review}

by

I admit I am a huge fan of Jill Savage.  She’s one of my favorite Christian authors and my love began with her book No More Perfect Moms.  This book really touched my heart so when I saw No More Perfect Marriages, I knew it was a must read as well!

My personal relationship choices have not always been the best.  It took me a long time to learn to choose a man by God’s standards.  This isn’t something we’re taught in today’s world.  So finding the perfect marriage has been challenging for me personally.

The one thing I do know is that no marriage is perfect, just as no person is perfect.  You both have to want it.  You both have to work hard to have your marriage work.  You both have to put in all that you can to have everlasting happiness.

And you have to be Real.  Be real together.  Overlook the flaws of one another and find forgiveness.

Through No More Perfect Marriages, Mark and Jill Savage guide you through the fundamentals of creating a healthy marriage with each other.  They teach you how to forgive past mistakes and move forward to build the best love your life has known.  You learn to guard against the seven “slow fades” and grow.

No More Perfect Marriages is the perfect book to make you realize that you’re not alone and others struggle with marriage and relationships as well.  It’s a helpful book to help you find your way back to a happier and more loving marriage.  This is one book you will love!

No More Perfect Marriages is available for $11.19 through Moody Publishers in Paperback or for $8.79 in eBook format.

YWAM Publishing – George Washington: True Patriot and Unit Study {Crew Review}

by

George Washington is the first President of the United States and one of the most well-known names of U.S. History.  He is a favorite in our household and a person that we each truly look up to.  So when I heard that YWAM Publishing was offering to allow the Schoolhouse Review Crew review their book George Washington: True Patriot from the Heroes of History series, I was excited!
For this review, I received a PDF download of George Washington: True Patriot, the book.  This book is 224 pages in length and includes 19 chapters each focusing a different aspect of Washington’s life.  Washington was destined for Great Purpose and George Washington: True Patriot shares his story with us.
We always enjoy reading books on George Washington.  Washington traveled here, to Georgetown, SC in 1791 and visited several nearby places.  He was greeted here by cannon fire and uniformed Infantry before moving on to his next destination.
Living in Georgetown, in close proximity to Charleston, SC, we are able to personally visit the places where President Washington walked, attended balls, had a meal and even lodged for the night.  Washington saved a tree on a nearby plantation that we have seen first hand and he left behind a legacy that myself and my children can look up to.  George Washington: True Patriot only proved that to us even more.
To go along with the book, we were given a PDF download of the George Washington: Unit Study Curriculum Guide in two parts.  Part one is 64 pages long and begins with sharing a photo of George Washington himself with birth and death date below.  The entire PDF is in black and white, making printing more efficient.
There are 9 sections and 2 appendices in the George Washington: Unit Study and it was specifically created to go along with the book, George Washington: True Patriot.  The unit study reinforces creative writing, critiquing, History and Geography concepts and so much more.  The entire guide is set up to allow the teacher to pick and choose activities that will work with their student’s learning style and abilities.  The unit study can also be easily adapted for group studies which worked great for us!
The guide begins by teaching the student about Key Quotes speaking of Washington’s life and related to the United States personally.  There are suggestions for setting up a display corner to focus on certain aspects about George Washington which will be covered during the reading and study of the book.  Chapter questions are provided to further expand on the lessons and to check comprehension of the readings during this study.
The 4th Chapter is called Explorations and provides the meat of the study in suggesting Essay topics, audio, visual and art projects which bring the study to life.  These explorations show what the reader is learning and bring Washington to life.  Combined with Chapter 5’s community links, this really challenges the student to expand lessons past the book itself.
In the section labeled Social Studies, the student will focus on Vocabulary, Geography, time line events and similar lessons.  Connecting into the lessons in Exploration, these build a thorough lesson for the story of George Washington’s life.  They can be expanded further through the suggestions in the Related Themes section of the unit study.  There is also a section on resources that shares other books to read and movies to watch which help to expand lessons even farther.
Part two of the George Washington: Unit Study provides a fact sheet on George Washington, complete with photograph.  It also includes a map of the Eastern United States and a map of Virginia and West Virginia to use along with the study.  A timeline finishes up this 4 page section of the Unit Study.
My family and I greatly enjoyed reading about President Washington’s life and his belief in the United States, as well as his belief in God.  His Biblical foundation was apparent in every section of the story and showed the values that he wished for all Americans.  It was nice to read of the man who began the country and projected his faith onto the new nations beginnings.
We learned so much from George Washington: True Patriot and the accompanying George Washington: Unit Study and you will too!  Purchase your copy of George Washington: True Patriot for $6.99 in either print or e-book form.  The George Washington: Unit Study is also available for purchase for $7.49 and is the perfect complement to the book creating a full study of the First American President and this True Patriot, George Washington.
