Children's Books Giveaway!

My daughter, Gina, has written her review on 'God Loves Me More Than That' at Growing in Grace Magazine. Her, Timmy, and I really enjoyed reading this book at bedtime the other night. The story is so cute with it's rhyming words and gorgeous illustrations! We would read each page then stare into the pictures in amazement!

It's one of our favorites now and Dandi Daley Mackall also has 'When God Created My Toes'with the same spectacular artwork. In this book there is more than just the text of the story to glean from. Dandi shows a story by the scenes on each page. After we read this book, we went back through it and discussed each of the pictures. These two books, with it's stories and artwork, are so much fun.

Along with these two books, I have also been able to review, 'God Gave Us Heaven' by Lisa Tawn Bergren. This book is very special, as it was dedicated in memory of a sweet little 6 year old girl named Mady Grace, who went to heaven in 2002. My second born daughter, Monica, had a little friend go to heaven when she was nine years old. This story is so
tender as it shares the story of a polar bear family who discusses heaven. It's a sweet way to explain what happens after we die. In addition to that, the story goes on to explain in a very simple format how you can know you're going to heaven. I'm not sure what Mady's story involves, but I can imagine that this must have been how someone explained things to them after she left to be with the Lord.

These three books are being given away to three special readers when you simply reply in the comment box below.

There are two more ways you can have a better chance of winning. You can not only add your name below, but you may also post about this giveaway on your blog, AND place this graphic in your side bar.

Deadline for entries is August 31st! So grab the code below and spread the word!

I want to win! These look SO precious! And here's what I came over to tell you, when I saw the contest! ;) I can't remember if you saw my contest?! If not, come on over, everybody's invited! Details are in the sidebar.

Wow! Homeless and addicted, that ministry's hard work! Praise the Lord!

I look forward to getting to know you as well :) Yes, as missionaries, evangelism is a huge part of our lives as it should be of every christian's! The work is the Lord's, we're just his instruments - ambassadors. I love that passage!

Thanks for your comment.
