Happy Black Friday, Friends!
If you’re like me, you’re decorating for Christmas and hunting for that perfect something for that special someone. Did you go out early this morning to snag that spiffy Christmas sweater or fun Lego set? Nothing wrong with that. I love a good bargain.
The older I get, the more I find myself seeking to give thoughtful, timeless, spiritual gifts. Gifts that will touch the tender places in my loved ones’ hearts and invite them to think about spiritual things.
As you’ve probably guessed, I’m giving a lot of books this year. Here’s a list of some of the books I’m giving to friends and family this year (accompanied by affiliate links). And if you scroll down far enough, you’ll see that Amazon has deeply discounted several of my books, just in time for Christmas!
For Children 8+
The Action Bible: God’s Redemptive Story
My grandkids love graphic novels. (For the uninitiated, these are books told primarily through pictures with accompanying text. Think comic-book-type graphics.) I was so excited to discover The Action Bible, which presents more than 230 fast-paced narratives in chronological order, making it easy to follow the Bible’s historical flow and building up to the thrilling climax of God’s redemptive story. The illustrations are detailed and the text compelling. I hope this book will help my grandkids understand and fall in love with the Bible in a new way.
The Action Bible: Heroes and Villains
From Adam and Eve’s most embarrassing moment to the details of a Roman soldier’s armor to Zechariah’s hometown, the unique insights and dynamic illustrations in this jam-packed guide jump off the pages and into kids’ minds and hearts as they meet people just like them whom God used in His redemptive story. I think my grandsons are really going to like this one. Lots of swords and weapons 🙂
For Children 4-8
Childrens Bible Stories for Bedtime (Fully Illustrated)
Kids can wind down with inspiring childrens Bible stories and connect with God at bedtime. With this collection of childrens first Bible stories, parents and kids can calmly end the day together in the comfort of God’s presence and peace. These favorites of key biblical figures and their ancient adventures inspire young curious minds to build a relationship with God and ponder about His never-ending love. When my grands were little, they enjoyed the colorful illustrations in this volume.
