A Great Study Bible for All Ages

Join Lana, Munch, and Griffin on the adventure of a lifetime as they travel through the Holy Land and learn about the stories, cultures, people, and places of the Bible. High-quality illustrations, engaging sidebars, and scripture passages draw kids into the narrative. The Story Travelers Bible teaches kids that the Bible is more than just a bunch of tales told by parents and Sunday school teachers, but the Bible documents God’s work in and for His people from the beginning of time. The Story Travelers Bible will take kids on a ride through 85 Bible stories.


  I was very impressed with this engaging Bible Book. I feel like this book is not only for children but also for any age. I liked the fresh historical insights in the sidebars. I enjoyed the insightful questions asked at the end and in the sidebar of each Bible lesson.  I was also keen on the colorful pictures and stories that easily captured my attention. I will be using this with my daughter in our home school days.

Unlikely Friendships In the Midst of Tragedy

Many lives were changed the day a fire burned down Faith Community Church, devastating the small town of Sugarcreek, Ohio.

Now a young Amish widow, Lydia Gruber faces an uncertain future. Her husband, a craftsman and volunteer firefighter, always took care of everything, keeping her isolated from others in their community. Without anyone or any skills, how will she survive?

With the death of her beloved aunt Rose in the fire, single mom Jessica Holtz inherits Rose’s Knit One Quilt Too cottage. Though determined to keep the shop open in her aunt’s memory, she doesn’t know the first thing about knitting and quilting and begins to see her aunt’s dream slip through her fingers.

When Liz Cannon lost her dear friend Rose, she also lost her partner in the Secret Stitches Society―the name they gave themselves while delivering gifts of hope to troubled folks in the dark of night. Liz convinces Jessica to keep the anonymous society going, despite the younger women’s inadequacy with knitting and sewing needles. But soon Liz has problems of her own as the life she has rebuilt for herself begins to crumble again.

When Liz and Jessica choose Lydia for their first mission, the three women cross paths and form an unlikely friendship in the aftermath of tragedy. As they walk together through triumph and heartbreak―through grief and new chances at love―they begin to discover that with friends by your side, a stitch of hope can be found anywhere.



  May I say I thoroughly enjoyed this book? I thought it was going to be another sappy love and tragedy story. But it was far from that. Three ladies are joined together through loss and hardship. In the midst of all this these ladies do not wallow in self pity. But pull on their boots and do something about it. I did find it a little foreseeable. But it was still a book that a person will find hard to put down.

    My daughter utterly relished this audio book. I do not believe she has stopped listening to this book since I received it for my review. This has been such an inspiration for her. In my daughter's own words, " Anyone can become a super hero. Not just someone who can shoot lasers out their eyes. But someone who does anything when they put their mind to the test." I think this puts the whole book in perspective especially from a thirteen old girl.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
