SNUGGLE TIME BIBLE STORIES by Glenys Nellist — Book Review

Snuggle Time Bible Stories is the latest in the Snuggle Time series by Glenys Nellist, illustrated by Cee Briscoe.

Reading together with a toddler is such a special connection point with them. You will definitely want to add this lovely book to your home library. As you read together, you will be introducing your child to many heroes of the faith including Noah, Moses, Samuel, and David. My favorite is the story of Jesus with the children. Here is a sample:

Some children came to Jesus
One bright and sunny day.
“He’s busy!” the disciples cried.
“You’ll have to go away!”

But Jesus called the children
And sat them on his knee.
“I love you all,” he softly said.
“And you belong to me.”

All of us, adults included, need to be reminded of the Savior’s love and of the fact that he calls us his own. What simple, but beautiful words, describing a marvelous truth.

Thank you, Glenys, for another  wonderful story book in this series.

Book Review — MY CHRISTMAS HOPE– by Penelope Powell

Will two broken souls recognize that the best gift of Christmas is HOPE?

My Christmas Hope, written by Penelope Powell is a cozy holiday novella that will make you want to make a second cup of hot cocoa and to keep reading. When Michael Hennessy and his son Jimmy move next door to Hope Langford for a fresh start from their painful past, a Florida romance between Michael and Hope begins to spark. As Michael’s son Jimmy deals with relational wounds from the past, Hope demonstrates patience and extends friendship which leads to a softly emerging love and a happy ending. I enjoyed picturing Christmas in sunny Florida and I thought the author did an excellent job developing realistic characters. I highly recommend this book!
Thank you Penny, for an ARC of the book. I really enjoyed it. It is an honor to help promote your book!
Don’t you love the cover? The next time I’m at the beach, I am totally making a “sand” snowman.

More about the author:
Penny writes:
A southern girl at heart, I loves green rolling hills, wind chimes that tinkle on warm summer nights, and my momma’s fried pies. I’ve been luckier than most. I’ve enjoyed a life surrounded by family, friends, and a faith that has taught me to discern my worth in a Righteous Savior.
Having traveled and lived in many places, I’ve been fortunate enough to meet people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, which has given me a broader perspective that occasionally splashes onto the pages of my novels. 
Like the things we experience, I believe good fiction can inspire and change someone’s perspective. It’s my prayer that my words will show others a Savior who loves them.
