Seeing Green - A Book Review
Can you look yourself in the mirror and say you have never envied someone? Your friend, co-worker, neighbor, your favorite celebrity or even your sibling? I daresay few of us can honestly answer yes to that question. Envy, the green-eyed monster, sneaks up on us when we are not looking, and if we are not careful, it can color not just our relationship with the person we envy, but the way we see ourselves.
In her book Seeing Green,Tilly Dillehay paints a picture of envy that most of us have never considered before and causes us to take an unsettling look at ourselves. Using practical, down-to-earth language, Tilly shows us how we can identify envy in all its disguises and how, by recognizing God’s glory on the subject of our envy, we can snuff out the green-eyed monster once and for all.
Seeing Green is a book I recommend for everyone because we all harbor envy to some extent. And now you can enter for a chance to win a copy of this compelling book.

Indescribable - Book Review: 100 Devotions About God and Science

"In the beginning God created the sky and the earth. The earth was empty and had no form ... Then God said, "Let there be light!" Genesis 1 : 1 - 3
Children are naturally curious human beings. Tell a child not to touch the stove, and he most likely will. In his book Indescribable, Louie Giglio gives 100 devotions, amazing facts and practical applications to satisfy every child's curiosity about the world in which we live. Pastor Louie makes it easy for children to understand that the same God who created the stars, and every species of plant and animal life is the same God who created each one of us.
Indescribable describes the wonders of God's creation in such simple and clear language that children cannot fail to understand and appreciate the book. Even though the targeted audience is children, I found the content fascinating and I learned many things I didn't know before - like sea otters using stones as hammers to crack open abalone shells to get their food!
One hundred entries from Louie cover topics from all
areas of science, with devotions on these issues and more:
Creation
Evolution
Animals
Dinosaurs
Space and the universe
Molecules and tiny matter
Medical science and medical miracles
Our amazing bodies
Geology and fossils
Weather and the atmosphere
This devotional will be unique, engaging, and beautifully
designed. Parents will be thrilled to share the messages of
both science and faith with their children,
giving Indescribable major appeal for
years to come.
This is a fabulous resource for Christian families and for
Christian schools and programs.
I look forward to presenting this book to my grand-daughter Jen, who at 9, will be able to read it with little help from me or her mom. If you are looking for a way to teach your youngster about the wonders of God,I highly recommend this book.
