Sunday Snippet: Three Special Stories – A GiveAway…

Just for fun… I have three brilliant books to GiveAway this week. As usual I have to thank Christian Book Discounters who kindly supplied the book for this GiveAway…

Now these are story books published by Scripture Union and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. One often finds that stories that aren’t Bible stories, but are obviously Christian stories can be packed with blessed little thoughts and are really just a bit poofy. These one’s aren’t!!!

They are fun and funky they have a page of easy reading for the adult person and then an illustrated page with two lines of really easy reading for your beginner reader. Each story is based on a short passage from the Bible and the Bible reading is at the end of the book. I like that with the Bible verse from the New Living Translation there is a rhyming paraphrase for little kids – very nice! And a couple of sweet activities are popped on at the end of the book, just to help you unwrap the message of the book. These would be great for reading at home or in a class… The books are all in one lessons!!!

Here we go:

  1. This story is based on Psalm 103:8-12 and is the story of a little girl, Xanthe, who feels bad about things she has done wrong in the past. Her mum explains that our forgiven sins are like balloons that float away out of reach… far far away never to return. Just like balloons they never come back!!!

  3. The Diamond Girl is so Delightful!!! Especially since I have a girl who can not stop dancing and dancing and dancing!!! The story is another Xanthe story, about a girl who dances and dances and then stops to be the same as everyone else… and the ramifications of her not dancing!!! Turns out she is her Dads special dancing diamond and knowing that helped her to return to her own happy self. This story is from Psalm 139:13-18

  5. Brilliant Bones rhymes!!! Gotta love a book that rhymes!!! It is the story of Harriet Carbuncle Petrifee Jones… who passionately gathers bones until she finds a marvelous treasure… and she sells all that she has collected for this one treasure. It is based on Matthew 13:44-46.
