Read and Share Bible - volume two


TheUltimate DVD Read and Share Bible Volume Two
Tommy Nelson/ Tomas Nelson

This is a hard cover book with just over 200 pages (105 stories) and 2 DVD's (26 stories in all).
After reviewing the Read and Share Bible: Life & Miracles, I was super pumped to see this pop up in the available items. I couldn't wait to get it, so my kids could read through the book and have a few more DVD's to watch. But I don't feel that this book/dvd set lived up to my expectations. While I didn't see anything that was unbiblical, I found lots of holes. Many of the stories only showed parts of the stories, and missed many of the things that showed God's power out :( The book does of course fill in more of the holes than the dvd's, but I think for the amount information that was skipped, it would have been better to not make the dvd's.

God Gave Us the World - Lisa Tawn Bergren


God Gave Us the World

Can I just say CUTE!!!
This short little book is about "Little Cub" (who is part of a series) and his family who make a trip to the museum, a bear museum where Little Cub and his mom discuss all of the types of bears that God has made, and the unique places that they live and the fun things that other bears do. Little Cub often asks "Why?" (so like one of my 'Little ones'). and the answer. . . Because He is God! That's what He does!!
My only concern (note, I have not read the rest of the books, so I don't know if they are all this way), is that the father bear is only a background image. He is working with the baby cubs, but he is not playing a role in teaching or explaining. When I finally read a few more of these, I will try to update you as to whether or not he plays a more active role.

I really enjoyed this simple book and am happy to add it to my book shelf!
Ages 3-8
