Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing By Sally Lloyd-Jones & Jago

              I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review by Zondervan.
       Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing by Sally Lloyd Jones and Jago is a beautifully illustrated, well written book of thoughts on faith.  It has truths from the Bible in a stand alone story format.  This format give the book a lot of flexibility.  I think it makes a great bedtime story or evening devotional that you can do. 
   
Each story has a bible verse that it is highlighting with that verse listed on the page as well.  For example, one story talks about a donkey and how stubborn they are and how they don’t like to be led.  It goes on to explain how God doesn’t want us to be like a donkey.  The verse for this particular story is Psalm 32:9 that states “Don’t be like a horse or donkey, that doesn’t understand.  They must be led with bits and reins, or they will not come ear you.”
     I think that Sally Lloyd-Jones does a great job of explaining and painting a picture for the reader or child of that particular thought, verse or story.  For kids, this puts the Bible into perspective.  One story talks about a donkey.  Sally uses a stubborn animal who doesn’t like to be led or close, to explain that God wants us to be close now stubborn and always running from him. What a great example for kids! What a great book of Biblical truths!

You can purchase this book alone or in this nice little set of the book story cds. The deluxe set comes in a sturdy, nice box with Velcro closure.  Would make a great gift!
