All the Colors of Christmas by Matthew Paul Turner

Find your Christmas spirit in this delightful new holiday rhyme from Matthew Paul Turner! 

If you could pick one color for Christmas, which one would it be? Would it be red or green or maybe blue? It's all of these and more! Christmas can be found in all the beautiful colors of the season. 

Turner once again showcases his writing talent in a unique way as he brings out all the Christmas feels. This colorful children's book is very appealing to the senses and very inviting to young readers,as well as adults. In all of his other books, Turner has a way of making children feel special and this book is no exception. Little hands will be reaching for this book throughout this holiday season and all of the Christmases to come.

Well, Girl by Jami Amerine

Jami Amerine has written this book to let women know that they are loved by God just the way they are. She calls this book a wellness book but it's not a typical "get healthy" read. She shares her struggles and how it always comes back to the fact that God loves her no matter what. Jami is very candid with her writing and you can tell that she is a very spirited and open person. I did feel like the book was not very structured and I had a hard time following it at times. Jami's writing is very personal and reads like a journal entry so her thoughts sometimes seemed scattered. While I couldn't fully relate to the style of this book, I'm sure other readers will enjoy it. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

Talking with Your Kids About Jesus by Natasha Crain

As children grow into adults, they often start to question the beliefs that they have been taught throughout their lives. They may go to their parents with their uncertainties and parents should be prepared to help them and guide them. This book is an excellent tool when situations like that arise. It contains 30 different conversations that offer explanations for difficult and sometimes controversial parts of the Bible. I learned a lot from this book and can see myself pulling it from the shelf often as I guide my children into adulthood. It is also a great resource for conversations with non-believers and skeptics. Each chapter also contains a conversation guide that is flexible for children and young adults of all ages. This book would be a great addition to any household with children or even church youth ministry groups. Thank you so much to the author and publisher for the chance to read and review this book!
