Counting Blessings by Eileen Spinelli~A ZonderKidz Review
Counting Blessings was written by Eileen Spinelli and illustrated by Lee Holland. It has a soft, cardboard chunky book, great for little fingers to hold and turn pages as you are reading to them. Snuggle up in bed or with a warm blanket and introduce your child to counting from 1-10 and some of the many blessings from God! The pages are softly illustrated with adorable little animals that are interacting with each blessing. Pets and puddles, grass and trees, ladybugs and honey bees, for example is one set of pages that is shown with animals with umbrellas splashing in puddles and playing with ladybugs as bees fly around.
From the back of the book: Count along from 1-10, remember your blessings again and again. Cuddle up with you little ones and count numbers as well as the many blessings in their lives.
About the Author: Eileen Spinelli is a poet and picture book author with talent for lovable stories that tug at the heart. She is the author of more than forty books for children.
About the Illustrator: Lee Holland is an artist and illustrator from Staffordshire, England. He studied at the University of the Arts London and currently applies his talents to a variety of mediums including children’s books, magazines, logos, and clothing.

Wonders of Creation Coloring Book~A Zondervan Review
Have you heard the news! It has been found that parents have stressful lives. Between our families, jobs, friends and whatever takes up our time either for work or pleasure our plates are full! It has also been found that coloring reduces stress and anxiety! Do you like to color? I LOVE to color. Every time I think or hear do you want to color, I hear the song “it’s a color, it’s a color and you know I love to color by Joe Wise. It is a silly song about coloring certain colors when you are feeling a certain way, including puce /pa use/. Anyhow, I have lost count on how many crayons, colored pencils, markers (okay I despise markers for coloring so I don’t use them often) or what ever medium you want to use to create art, I have purchased as a parent. I have also lost count of how many hours I have spent at the table, counter, laying on the floor or even sitting outside just coloring with the kiddos. Now my daughter is the only one who wants to color outside of the required for school or 4-H.
This Wonders of Creation book is a great book to take outside on that warm sunny day to decompress and color! Highlighting the animals, plants and wonders of creation reminds us of the amazing world God created for us.
Recommended for anyone who needs some downtime! You know that it you! You can check out this book and other great titles from ZonderKidz HERE!

Swimming with Faith:The Missy Franklin Story~ ZonderKidz Review
Swimming with Faith The Missy Franklin Story was written by Natalie Davis Miller, and tells the story of the Olympic swimmer, Missy Franklin.
Summary from the book: One of the most talented swimmers in the world today, Missy Franklin has been swimming since she was five year old and hasn’t stopped. From local summer swim leagues all the way to the Olympics. Missy has proven over and over that hard work and dedication can make dreams become reality. But through all of the adventures and challenges that are a part of this determined athlete’s life, Missy has remained true to her heat and faith-making sure that God, family and friends stay top priorities even in the face of the fame and glory that come with achieving goals like Olympic Gold and world records in her beloved swimming.
My thoughts:
This book doesn’t disappoint when talking about the determination and challenges faced by a teenager who is Olympic bound. You see Missy on her journey, be introduced to God and the church and take the road that God had intended for her and running on it! She tries to keep herself grounded by staying in her hometown, instead of moving for training, and doing things with her friends as any “normal” teenager would do. When she is faced with a trying time it is her faith, her friends and family (fans included) that pull her through. Missy is a great example of finding your path, giving it your all (110 percent in her words) and being the best you can be.

NKJV Teen Study Bible~A ZonderKids Review
There are several different types of Bibles out there! Some of them have different features to help you either get into the word or understand the word better. This Teen study bible is a great choice! Here are some facts about this bible, then I will share my thoughts.
The New King James Version (NKJV) Teen Study Bible is listed as the best selling Bible for Teens. From the back of the Bible:
As an on-the-go teen, your moving fast. God is moving faster! The Teen Study Bible will help you keep in step with all He has done, Is doing, and will do in the world-and in your life. This bestselling Bible will help you discover the eternal truths of God’s Word and apply them to the issues you face today.
It’s features (still on the back of the book) include:
We Believe-Unpacks the Apostles’ Creed to reveal the biblical foundation of faith.
Panorama-Keeps the big picture of each book of the Bible in view.
4 Full color pages-Presentation page and information about the Apostles’ Creed
Key Indexes-Helps with in-depth Bible study
To the point-reveals what the Bible says about pressing issues
Dear Jordan-Offers biblical advice for teens
Instant Access-Tells what God says to you personally
Q&A-Tests your knowledge of Bible Trivia
Bible Promises-Highlights Bible verses worth remembering
Book Introductions-Provides an overview for each book of the Bible
8 page, full color map section
Complete text of the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible
My Thoughts:
This is a sturdy hard cover bible. I love the explanations through out like the instant access and the to the point sections. For example in Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 the Instant Access is explaining that Solomon had so much money and power that he got everything that he wanted either by money or power. The explanation is that they haven’t grown up spiritually and it isn’t the things you have but the kind of person you are that matters.
I think this would make a great Bible for anyone, however I picture it more for our young men as the cover isn’t very girly (it is attractive though). The Bible can be a bit overwhelming I think to figure out, especially for those who are just getting into it for the first time. I think that it has a lot of information in it for helping the reader to understand what God really wants out of us and to understand the Bible.
