Thomas Nelson Review ( Love by: Calvin Miller)

Love

cultivating Spirit-given character

By: Calvin Miller

ISBN: 978-1-4185-2841-6

Thank you to Thomas Nelson for letting me review this book.
http://www.nelsonbibles.com/bible.php?id=337

Love is an 6 week bible study that can be done individually or with a small group.

The lesson are short with a little bit of reading and questions after the reading.

There are 5 lessons for each week. So you can study God's word everyday.

There is also an memory passage for each week, this is good so you can hide the word of God in your heart.

Love bible study comes from the scripture:

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love,joy,peace,patience,kindness,goodness,faithfulness,gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

This book is based on the first fruit of the spirit which is the greatest of all of them.
You want to become more like Christ, then love like Christ first loved us.
This bible study teaches to love others as Christ first loved us.

In the back of the book are group discussion questions and there a place to write down prayer requests and how God has blessed you during your study time. This is a good reflection for a later time to see how God moved during this bible study.

Table of Contents:

Week 1: The Evidence of Love is Giving.
Week 2: Love Forgives
Week 3: Love-The Definition of God.
Week 4: Love-God's Passion for His World
Week 5: Love- Unconditional Longing of God.
Week 6: Love- The Incarnational Force of God.

Fruit of the Spirit Study Guide Series available also:
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-Control

Love like he first loved you!!!!!!!!

Apologia Press-Good Morning, God Review

Good Morning, God

Davis Carman

Illustrated by: Alice Ratterree

$14.00

Thank you to Apologia Press for letting us review Good Morning, God.

http://www.apologia.com/

Good Morning, God is designed for ages one to eight years old.

This book is designed to help your children fall in love with Our Heavenly Father by having him on your mind from sunrise to sunset.

Good Morning, God will encourage your children how to worship daily and enjoy the Lord all through the day.

Good Morning, God is meant to encourage your children to consider his or her relationship with Jesus and respond with childlike faith.

Good Morning, God is based on the scripture:

Deuteronomy 6:6-7

These commands that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.

Impress then on your children.

Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road,

when you lie down and when you get up.

There are three ways that this book can be used as discipleship tool:

Simply read the book as a story.

At the end of the book are questions and activities that you can do with your children.

The questions and activities are organized by the theme of each day.

( Sunday thru Saturday)

The questions are designed to get your children involve in the book.

Each day has a set of questions.

You don't have to do all the questions in one sitting.

You can also do Sunday questions on Sunday and then continue on this plan for Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. On the second Sunday, you can read the suggested questions and activities. This plan would make the book a mini-curriculum.

Good Morning God can be used over and over, you can never impress to much of God on your children.

Our children have loved to learn and be taught about God.

It is so important that we impress God on our children at the very early age.

Good Morning God has a been a wonderful book for our homeschool day.
Our children have already caught on so quickly to the concepts in this book.
We will contunue to read this book over and over again.
I was so excited to receive this book honored that Apolgia would let us review this wonderful book.

We currently use Exploring Creation through Botany(which we are almost done with) and then we will be doing Swimming Creatures. I'm so excited to have found such a wonderful cirrculum for our children for Science.And have fully loved it. Please check some of there other products at:

Orlando Science Center

Everytime we go to Orlando we go to a Theme Park, well this time we decided to go somewhere different and it was so worth it. The Orlando Science Center is located downtown, it looks like a ghost town but it is a 4 story Science Center which was packed with excitement foe the children.
