The Expanded Bible (Reviewed 9/2/2009)Advertised as a study tool and aid in reading the bible, I was very excited to obtain a copy of The Expanded Bible.

Read and Share Toddler Bible (Reviewed 8/10/2009)I enjoyed reading the Toddler Bible with stories retold by Gwen Ellis. The pictures are vivid as well. One thing that I appreciate about the way Ms. Ellis retells the stories is that she simplifies them without losing the important components. She is not afraid of the “bad” parts of the bible. ...

In the Footsteps of Paul (Reviewed 5/25/2009)In the Footsteps of Paul is an amazing collection of photos following Paul’s life. I thoroughly enjoyed letting my imagination go and recalling the stories from the Bible in context now with the photos. It is easier to understand certain portions of Scripture having seen what the walls or trees ...

The Noticer (Reviewed 4/27/2009)The Noticer is a nice story but completely gives a completely false dose of reality. The basic premise is that if you think positively, then positive things will happen to you. If you surround yourself with successful people, then you too will become positive. If you just think about things in a ...

Boomtown (Reviewed 12/31/2008)I have to admit that of all the books I have reviewed for Thomas Nelson, Boomtown was the one I was looking forward to the most. I loved the cover design and the cleverness of the author’s name. I was intrigued by the story line as well. Unfortunately, once I started reading the book, the only word ...

Mrs. James was able to put pieces of ...
