Animal Sound Mix Up



What would happen if a cat were to moo? Or a dog croaked like a frog?

This is exactly the questions that are posed throughout the colorful and whimsical pages of the latest children's book called Animal Sound Mix-Ups by Connie Arnold.

The book takes you through domestic, farm and jungle animals with colorful pictures on every page to illustrate how silly things would be if the animals we have come to know and love today really made all together different sounds than they do now.

At the conclusion of the book, we learn as always that God's perfect plan really does work out the very best. I would highly recommend this book to new parents of toddlers that are getting into their first words and sounds as a perfect way to teach them what sound goes with what animal in a fun and biblical way. This book is recommended for ages 2 and up and I would easily rate this book a perfect 5 out of 5 stars.

I received this book compliments of Connie Arnold for my honest review and can't recommend it enough to new parents or perfect for the church for the toddler's.

Comfort and Grace - Giveaway and Review



I find myself drawn to the Psalms of the Bible for pure inspiration. Perhaps its a difficult time in my life and I find myself drawn to David's grief while stumbling through a faith issue in his life or just praising God for creating me to become a perfect masterpiece always in His eyes.

I had the rare opportunity to review a book from Connie Arnold called Comfort and Grace. It's a collection of poems that Connie herself has written that fall in line with today's modern day psalms. There are poems that seek God's presence, looking at glimpses of His grace, looking at what is really important in our lives, slowing down and taking time to enjoy our lives, and a section on comfort and hope for those dealing with difficult storms in their lives.

What a breath of fresh air is was to be able to enjoy these each day a little at a time as though God was speaking to me through the words I found in them. Connie is truly a gifted poet in her ability to not only touch our souls but to show us the love of God in our daily situations.

I was provided with a signed copy of her collection of poems compliments of Connie Arnold herself to review, and I must say I truly love having them next to me each day. I would rate this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars! She has even been so gracious to extend this blessing to a follower of mine to enjoy a signed copy of her book as well.

Simply be a follower of my blog and leave me a comment on your favorite psalm or poem.

Be a resident of the U.S. and No P.O. Boxes please!
