8th Grade: Leading the Way with the “Real You” Devotional Review

As a member of the Family Christian group of bloggers, I received a copy of the 30-day devotional “8th Grade: Leading the Way with the ‘Real You’” for the purposes of review. Here is my review- all opinions are my own.



Looking back, when I was going into 8th grade, I was starting a new school. My parents had moved from one county to the next, so I felt like I was all alone. I wish this devotional had been around for me when I was that age. I was raised in church and I knew that God was there for me, all I had to do was reach out- and reach out I did. I prayed constantly for God to lead me through that phase in my life.

Why I Ride with the PGR

Today is Memorial Day- a day that we remember that freedom is NOT free. As a whole, we tend to take our freedom for granted. However, there are many men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice- their lives- so that we can be free to do what we choose to do. 

Today, I want to tell you a little bit about a group of bikers that my husband and I ride with. The news lately has been colored by how bad and how violent bikers are. We hear about bikers killing people and about bikers causing riots. However, the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) is anything but violent.

Let the Journey Begin by Max Lucado Review

As a member of the Family Christian group of bloggers, I was blessed to receive a copy of “Let the Journey Begin: Finding God’s Best for Your Life” by Max Lucado. This is my review of that book. All opinions are my own.

As you know, graduation season is upon us. There are so many high school and college graduates walking down the aisles and receiving their degrees and honors. Now comes the question, “What’s next?”

“Let the Journey Begin” is full of Scriptural guidance, wisdom, and support as you embark on the next step in your journey of life. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you will be blessed beyond belief with this book.

Each reading is short & sweet and can be read in just a few minutes. There are five sections:
1)      God’s Plan for the Journey of Life- A Road Map for Success
2)     Stop, Look, and Listen- Good Habits for a Good Journey
3)     A Fork in the Road- Deciding Which Way to Go
4)     Dangers and Detours Ahead- Slow Down, Avoid Disaster
5)     Two is Fine Company- A Friend for the Journey

This is great for reading alone or reading with someone. I’m thinking of incorporating it into the nightly devotional time that my husband & I do in the evenings. I think it would be a great book for us to use! I also love that it is a small book that I can keep in my purse and it only takes about a minute to read one of the readings. 


In addition to all the great readings, there’s a section at the end where you can record your own goals, prayers, your favorite Scriptures, and much more. So, if you- or someone you know- is setting out on a new journey in life, consider picking up this book for them from Family Christian Stores. While you’re there, browse the rest of their Graduate Gift selections. You can get so many great things- PLUS, when you buy from Family Christian, you’re changing lives because Family Christian gives back!

The Duck Commander Faith and Family Bible Review

As a member of the Family Christian Blogger Group, I received a copy of The Duck Commander Faith and Family Bible for the purposes of review. All opinions are my very own. 



In recent years, I've become a bit of a fan of Duck Commander and the Robertson Family. I love their Christian Conservative values and love that they are so honest. So, when I was given the opportunity to review The Duck Commander Faith and Family Bible, I ecstatic!

Prayers for Your Children Review

As a member of the Family Christian Blogger community, I received a copy of this book for the purposes of this review. All opinions are 100% my very own. 


I am so excited to bring to you my very first review for Family Christian Stores!! I recently received a copy of "Prayers for Your Children: 90 Days of Heartfelt Prayers for Children of Any Age" and I LOVE it!

Prayers for Your Children

Of course, it's a 90 day prayer journey, so I have not exactly finished it since I've only had it a short while, but I love how it's geared towards every season of life and how Scripture is brought in for every section.

Being raised in a Christian home, I understand the importance (and the POWER) of praying for and covering your children in Scripture. God entrusted these beautiful jewels to us- what better gift can we give Him than by trusting him to take care of them?

As I mentioned, this is a 90 day prayer journey, divided into 13 weeks. Simply take one reading per day (or more, if you are so inclined) and read through it- bringing your child/children BY NAME to the feet of Jesus. As parents, we only want the best for our children, right? God only wants the best for us (and them), since we are His children.

Please consider picking up a copy of Prayers for Your Children for your personal library. I promise you that it will be totally worth it!!

Enter below to win your copy of this book!! Simple entries this time- just tell us where to send your book if you do win!! Best of luck to everyone!!


Missing Everyone!

Hello my beautiful readers! Sorry it's been awhile....things here have been crazy! I've recently gone back to work full time and I haven't been able to find the time to blog. However, I'm going to make a commitment to start blogging at least once a week, if not more. I won't be doing many reviews for now- hopefully that will pick back up soon (once I get myself on a regular schedule). I truly do miss all of you and I want you to know that I am still praying for all of you!!

With Love,

Krista
