Review: "Mom's Bible: God's Wisdom For Mothers (NCV)

Mom's Bible: God's Wisdom for Mothers (New Century Version) is a wonderful tool for mothers who are looking to delve deeper into God's Word and understand the precious role they play in the lives of their children and families. The New Century Version makes it easy to read and the extra content covers a wide of range of topics and issues, giving women encouragement in each aspect of their daily lives.

The layout is great, the pages do not feel cluttered and it is easy to navigate. It is hardcover but is not heavy or large. The content is perfect for moms who do not have a lot of time to spend each day reading. The most outstanding feature for me is the "Answer to Questions Kids Ask" section. It gives you scripture and guides for when your kids ask questions like "where is Noah's ark now?"

While this would not be my first choice for a study bible, it will definitely be used for daily devotions and topical studies. I highly recommend this Bible for all moms who are seeking to understand God's plan for their lives.

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program.

    Shan,

    It sounds like that is one worth checking out because it has a lot you can share with the kids, too. (I've never seen that kind of feature before. Sounds cool!)

    That's cool that you got the bible for free! It sounds like a good bible. I have a Childrens bible that was given to me when I was... maybe 6 that I will use for our kids. I am SO excited to read it to them because I read it over and over and over again while growing up. It's a really good quality bible so it's still in perfect shape!

"The Guestbook" by Holly Martin

Welcome to Willow Cottage - throw open the shutters, let in the sea breeze and make yourself completely at home.  Oh, and please do leave a comment in the Guestbook! Annie Butterworth is the landlady of Willow Cottage, a beautiful cottage in the English countryside with a colourful array of guests.  Every guest is encouraged to write their thoughts in the guestbook and do they ever!  Love, loss, happiness, sadness, guilt, affairs, births, and surprises, it’s all in there.  Even Annie’s life gets caught up in the book. As a young widow, Annie herself is going through some changes.  And the appearance of her brother-in-law, celebrity crime writer Oliver Black isn’t helping.  As the guests of Willow Cottage go about their seaside vacations, Annie and Oliver must figure out how to move on in their lives, and most importantly, if they will do so together.

"Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home" by Esi Edugyan

Image
“But where are you from, really?” This is a question that Canadians of all walks of life are often asked.  Part of our identity as Canadians is that we all come from somewhere else, and no matter how long ago, it is a defining part of who we are.   But for many people, this question is about more than where their family came to Canada from.  For many, it brings about a question of home and belonging.  These are the ideas that Esi Edugyan explored in her 2013 Henry Kreisel Memorial Lecture, Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home .  Born in Canada to parents from Ghana, Esi Edugyan has travelled to and lived in various countries, all the while searching for her identity and coming to understand the meaning of home. As an author, Edugyan also reflects on Canadian literature and the notion of the “Canadian story.”  Her wildly successful novel, Half-Blood Blues , was set outside of Canada, and something she often heard was that it was not a t...
