My childhood copy of The Picture Bible is a bit worn at the edges. The red binding is coming off, and a few pages are dog-eared or folded. This illustrated Bible was one of my first introductions to reading the Bible itself. Now, as my daughters are starting to read and explore their own faith, […]
The Mass Box helps children anticipate and appreciate Mass!
Attending Mass with children isn’t easy. I’ve talked about that on the blog here before, and many other Catholic moms have as well. It does get a bit easier as children get older, but I’m sure every Catholic parent has heard their child whine, “Mass is boring!!!” Over the years, we’ve tried different ways to […]
TreasureToons teaches kids about Scripture
This TreasureToons post and giveaway are sponsored by Oodles World and the FrontGate Christian Blogger Network. The opinions about how it will serve our home well are my own. Most children learn best with audio and visual materials. I’m often amazed at how much my children learn from the movies we watched. That makes me […]
The Radical Book for Kids: Exploring the Roots and Shoots of Faith
Aside from a few popular stories like Noah’s Ark or David and Goliath, the Bible is a fairly boring book to read. I’m saying that as someone who has actually read it cover to cover more than once (or twice). Genesis and Exodus are okay; Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are a tough slug, and then […]
5 Favourite Kids’ Bibles {five favourites} Vol. 26
Over the years, we’ve collected a variety of kids’ Bibles. There are the ones from my own childhood, some of which are very old and falling apart. There are ones we’ve gotten as gifts and others that I’ve gotten for review. And out of those Bibles have emerged five that the girls read over and […]
Treasury of Bible Stories: Rhythmical Rhymes of Biblical Times
Sunshine and Lily love Bible stories. In fact, a few weeks ago, when we bought them a second-hand Fisher Price tape player, I heard them sitting in their room listening to their selection of second-hand tapes from my sister-in-law. Several of the tapes were different versions of Bible stories for preschoolers. I smiled as I […]
How to Forgive Your Husband {31 Days to a Happy Husband}
Today, I’m delighted to welcome my fellow Inscriber Ruth L. Snyder to share her advice on an important marriage topic: how to forgive your husband. Marriage has the potential to bring the greatest joy AND the greatest hurt. When two people open their hearts to each other, they allow themselves to become vulnerable. We all […]
Book Review: God is Able by Priscilla Shirer
God is able. I know that. Looking back on my life, I can point to multiple times when He was there. I’ve seen Him work in big ways and little ways. Somehow, though, I’ve forgotten that recently. Or maybe I’ve just been too busy. For the last several months, I feel like I’ve been head […]
My First Handy Bible: Timeless Bible Stories for Toddlers
When I passed the big white envelope to Lily at the mailbox, she asked, “What’s this? My swimsuit?” (I had forgotten their swimsuits at a friends’ place in Alberta, and my friend had to mail them back to us, which was very exciting for Lily.) I laughed and said, “No, it’s a book for you.” […]
Not Recognizing
He wore a big jacket and the kind of hat that’s made out of sheepskin and has ear flaps. As we walked toward each other in the crosswalk, he reminded me of Wingfield in the play my fiancé and I had just attended at the local theatre. Then, just as I passed him, a series […]
