Finding Guidance and Light in Your Life

I was given a copy of this Bible from BlogAbout to review and give my honest opinion. All opinions are my own and I was not otherwise compensated. 

 

One of my goals for 2019 is to the read the Bible from cover to cover. It’s something I haven’t done yet and it dawned on me in 2018 that there’s so much more I could learn if I really committed to studying it.

The Thomas Nelson NKJV Study Bible will get you off to a great start towards achieving that goal if it’s something you’ve always wanted to do as well. This Bible is full-color and is a lay flat Bible, meaning when you set it down to an open page, it’ll stay open; it doesn’t fall back closed like a normal paperback would.

Best Books to Find Under the Christmas Tree

My Mom loved books. She almost never watched television, but she was constantly reading a book. She got up each morning, read her Bible, had her cup of tea, and started cleaning the house.

‘Little Girl Crying’ Book Review

“As a small child, Belinda had found comfort and sanctuary from those that abused and bullied her, in the arms of her imaginary friend, Jesus. It would be the deep love and devotion she’d felt for Him since childhood that would lead her on a journey of prayer to an incredible spiritual experience that would miraculously still the Voice of Anorexia, lift the darkness of depression and transform her life setting her on a new path.

Little Girl Crying is a story of survival. It’s a story of God’s love, mercy, and amazing grace, that affirms God is with us even when He is silent. But most of all, it is a message of hope and encouragement to all that suffer that says never give up, because our God is a God of healing and miracles!” Continue Reading
