A Spectacle of Glory

A Spectacle of Glory: God’s Light Shining through Me Every Day a devotional by Joni Eareckson Tada and Larry Libby is a daily devotional for every day of the year.

Joni is a quadriplegic who deals with daily pain. She has “learned to glorify God in the toughest of situations” This devotional is designed to help you find your eternal purpose; a way to show his glory through yourself every day.

Every passage has a scripture for you to look up and then a short devotion followed by a prayer. The devotions help you to see no matter what your situation is God is there and he will help you through it.  You can glorify him even in your storms.

Since the scriptures are written out you can use any version of the bible you like to follow along. But if you are looking for a devotion that has the scripture right in front of you then this one may not be for you.

I think if you need an uplifting devotional  to help you weather the storms in your life and still glorify God this is a good one to use. With a new year just beginning I would recommend this one .  I received this book at no charge from Handlebar Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

The Beginner's Bible KJV

 

The Beginner’s Bible: Holy Bible KJV is a children’s hard covered bible. I would recommend it for children up to about 10 or 11. It is very difficult to find a KJV children’s bible. While I’m not strictly a KJV reader our church uses KJV so I really want to get my child used to reading it along with other easier to read versions. I was thrilled to find this one.

Pros: It has easy to read font for children who are learning to read. The bible has the usual Beginner Bible characters. They are cartoonish and very animated looking with lots of bright colors. It is very visually appealing to kids. There is a presentation page at the beginning. And it has a concordance at the end.  It is a reference edition. I wouldn’t say it gives any kind of study guide or material it just leads you to other bible verses that apply to the scripture you are reading. The pages are pretty quick compared to adult bibles making them less likely to be torn. There are 10 double sided, colored pages throughout the bible depicting various bible stories.

Cons: The only con I can think of is that the cover makes it heavy and makes it feel a bit bulky especially for smaller children.  I think we will use this one mostly at home.  The heavier cover makes it more durable I’m sure.

If you are looking for a KJV bible for your little one I would highly recommend this one.  I am so glad we have it among our collection. I’m sure my little one will use it for many years to come.
