Becky’s idea in this book of spending an hour with God everyday is a great suggestion and something that I am striving towards. The overall message is one that is very important and needed in many people’s lives. Also, the fact that other people have heard God talk to them through His scripture, His Word, is something that has happened to me as well. I completely connected with this book because I’ve had experiences before where I was thinking about something or had something to ask and immediately found it in my bible when I opened it up. God does talk to us everyday, it’s whether we listen to him or not as to if we really hear him. Making time each day is difficult, but I would like to be able to start doing it on a regular basis. This book was inspiring and uplifting. I would recommend this book be given as a present to anyone who believes in God. I am a Bethany House Publishers book reviewer.

“The Jesus Book” by Stephen Elkins was illustrated very beautifully and was simple to read and understand for a small child. I was delighted to find that the book included a CD with a ton of songs for young children to listen to and sing along with. This is a very comprehensive book for children to learn who Jesus was and what He has to offer us. The pictures are very colorful and the book is very informative. This book would make a great gift for a child or the parent of a small child. This is the type of book a child will keep and cherish forever. My husband was also curious about what the book said and took a look at the book, he offered the opinion that the book should’ve talked a little more specifically about when Jesus was born to make it a little clearer for young children to understand, other than that the book did an amazing job of presenting the information in a clear and understandable way. I would recommend this book to friends, family and anyone with children.

Book Review of Max Lucado’s “Fearless”

By: Amanda Bradbury

From the author Max Lucado is his new book “Fearless”, which is an amazing book and one that is so timely and needed right now. This book talks about fears that everyone has in life and this existence and how to deal with those fears by giving them to God and trusting God. The book is filled with biblical stories and references to highlight fear and why we should not fear. The message of the book is that people who follow God should fear not. “Though the world may collapse, the work of Christ will endure”, seems to be the main message overall to all people, Christians or not. The book also offers encouragement that you shouldn’t be afraid, you shouldn’t worry; you shouldn’t fret because it is all in God’s hand and part of his divine plan. This was a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading and learning from. I would recommend it to all my friends, family and Christians and non-Christians alike. After reading this book, I think I want to read more of Max Lucado’s writing. He puts stories together very nicely and has a way of always expressing God’s word to intertwine with the story. The author and the book made me stop and think, question my thoughts, my fears and my relationship with God. Max successfully conveyed Biblical truths in his book and the information was clear and easy to understand. The book was able to hold my attention and I didn’t want to stop reading it once I became engaged with it. I am a book review blogger for Thomas Nelson Publishers.
