A Spoonful of Grace — "Chatter that Matters"
Looking for a way to bring your family together in prayer? Spoonful is a great bonding tool with your children. The prayers are short, yet oh-so-meaningful. Each grace (prayer) is accompanied by its inspired Scripture and followed by explanatory Grace Notes that offer enlightening ideas for conversation. While it only takes a minute or two to read, don't be surprised if it inspires conversation that lasts.
How Simple Faith Changes Everything—Seventeen Extraordinary Lives
Eternity through the Reaview Mirror
Eternity is a collection of seventeen biographies told in first person narrative from a heavenly vantage point. Spanning the ages, from Galileo to Abraham Lincoln to Johnny Cash, these greats gave credit to God for their accomplishments. Meticulously researched for accuracy, see how these seventeen reveal the transformative power of God's work, clearly evident in retrospect.
Who Are These Seventeen?
Galileo Galilei—J. S. Bach—John Newton—Elizabeth Fry—Sojourner Truth—Abraham Lincoln—Harriet Beecher Stowe—Harriet Tubman—George Washington Carver—Amy Carmichael—Mary McLeod Bethune—Aimee Semple McPherson—Corrie ten Boom—C. S. Lewis—Gladys Aylward—Louie Zamperini—Johnny Cash
This is a unique collection of biographies written in first person...so autobiographies??? The author did an outstanding job of researching and compiling interesting bits of information in each entry. I listened to the audio version and enjoyed the author reading it. I also liked how she included citations for further study in case you want to learn more about the subjects. Recommended!
