A Book full of Rhythym

The Faith that God Built series by Gary Bower uses the same whimsical style of storytelling as The House that Jack Built, using rhyme to introduce preschoolers through second graders to favorite Bible stories. Gary has a well-developed talent for creating engaging narratives that also teach biblical truth through rhyme. 

I agreed to receive this book to review because I enjoy books that relate God's word in fun ways. As the description implies this book goes along with the rhyme "The House that Jack Built." This book had a catchy rhythm and rhyme but I found the pictures to be uninspiring. They were dull and the shapes of the different pictures were just weird. I do not think this would be a book that a child would want to be read again. If it had different colors and shapes along with the rhythm and rhyme it would have been a fantastic book.

An Inspirational Color and Prayer Journal

"Tranquility: A Prayer and Reflection Coloring Journal invites you to mix creative journaling and coloring into your personal time with God. Prayers that focus on topics such as being thankful, dealing with stress and heartache, caring for yourself and others, listening for God’s leading, and waiting patiently on Him will guide your thoughts and calm your spirit. Filled with more than 100 designs to color, plenty of space for journaling, and 40 needs-based prayers, Tranquility will help you express your devotion to God with your whole heart."

  This was definitely a different take on the typical color book. I liked the differing pages and color of the pages. I think coloring while praying and opening your heart up to the Lord will be a useful tool to hear his voice more. For someone who likes to color and journal while having devotions will absolutely love to have this book.
