Sequin Bible - Pink, Not too Great


I actually got this in paperback form, which I think is really smart for young girls. They can be more kid-like in how they carry it and it is less heavy so that means less chance of dropping it! This was part of my participation in booksneeze.com from Thomas Nelson publishers.

This arrived and it was just so adorable and cute, I knew the little girl who was almost old enough to start bringing a Bible to Her church, would ADORE it!

I was saddened to note that there wasn't really any "help" in this cute Bible. I assumed since it is for children, it would have either summaries of what each chapter meant, or something, but it didn't. It just would have made sense, being for kids, that they could understand what they were reading. They messed around with the language a bit, but I felt not enough to help young kids GET the Bible.

So while being pretty on the outside, I ended up feeling it was not enough in the inside. So while it may be a good "starter" Bible to give children as they are first asked to bring a Bible to class on Sundays, I would suggest finding alternatives so they really understand what they are reading.

Invasion By Jon Lewis Review



This book is about teen Colt who loses his parents when they are hit head-on by a drunk driver. He is sent to live with his grandfather in Arizona and must start his life all over. He begins to be exposed to creatures, secret organizations (C.H.A.O.S.) and gadgets, he never even imagined could exist. And his determination to discover the real truth behind his parents accident pushes him further down the "rabbit hole". Colt's new friends join him in his pursuit.

First off, I thing it was really well written. The author conveys Colt's feelings when he loses his parents and things of them so well. This was my first Lewis book and I thought it was fun! It had great twists and the technology and creatures were just great. And I read it in one sitting, and it left me wanting more. I can't believe Lewis won't be releasing Book 2 until 2012!
