Night Night Blessings
On 12/27 Matt Graf wrote: Night Night Blessings by Amy Parker is a great childrens book. It’s especially wonderful for those looking for a book to read when putting the kids to bed. It goes through many of the things than the average child would say they are thankful for. We know that it is always a good thing to be reminded ... Night Night Blessings
J.R.R. Tolkien
On 9/15 Matt Graf wrote: The Christian encounters series is a very interesting series published by Thomas Nelson publishers. There have been many books on people I had not realized were Christians. In this volume, we learn about someone who was very much an historical Christian. His works are full of Christian allegory. ... J.R.R. Tolkien Christian Encounters
Regret Free Parenting
On 7/6 Matt Graf wrote: As a new parent, I thought this would be a great book to snatch up. If there's one thing that new parents want to know, it's that we're not totally messing up at everything. (Sometimes it can feel that way.) I thought that Regret Free Parenting, written by Catherine Hickem, was a very nice read, especially ... Regret Free Parenting
"Big Red" Holy Bible - Contemporary 3-D Art
On 2/3 Matt Graf wrote: I chose this book through the BookSneeze program because, with our first child on the way, I thought that it’s never too early to make sure we had a children’s Bible in the house. The fact that it had illustrations using 3D art was a nice bonus. Although, just to clarify, it is 3D art in the sense ... "Big Red" Holy Bible

On 10/19 Matt Graf wrote: Let it be written: “Really Woolly Bible Stories” is an absolutely wonderful children’s book! I was excited about this book from the moment I saw it available on Thomas Nelson Publisher’s BookSneeze website. First of all, the cover is absolutely adorable. I mean, could they possibly have gone ... Really Woolly Bible Stories
The King's Christmas List
On 9/28 Matt Graf wrote: This is a suprisingly terrific childrens book. I honestly enjoyed “The King’s Christmas List” (by Eldon Johnson) much more than I thought I would. I had selected “A Christmas Prayer” over this book a couple weeks ago because I was skeptical about this book. It turns out; both books had absolutely ... The King's Christmas List
A Christmas Prayer
On 9/16 Matt Graf wrote: Let me start by saying: this is a GREAT children’s book! The message was pitch perfect with what you would want your child to be learning at Christmas time. The language was great. Not too much, but not too little. Also, it had good flow and rhymed really well, which is a plus for kids’ books. ... A Christmas Prayer by Amy Parker
One Hand, Two Hands
On 8/30 Matt Graf wrote: One Hand, Two Hands by Max Lucado is a pretty good children's book. It has your standard cute-ness required of a chilren's book and a pretty good message as well, which is always a plus. There were a couple of little oddities I noticed while reading through this book, however. There's a few parts ... One Hand, Two Hands
The Map
On 8/18 Matt Graf wrote: Robert Langdon he is not. I was very excited about this book when it became available on BookSneeze. The premise, half pulse-pounding mystery novel, half insightful book on men and their general absence in the church, was quite promising. As the Dan Brown novels, while not exactly historically accurate, ... 'The Map' by David Murrow
Plan B
On 5/4 Matt Graf wrote: Plan B by Pete Wilson was a huge help to me. I have been going through some rough times, as we all do, and began wondering if I was just doing everything wrong and missing what God had intended for me to do and was honestly, a little mad at God for my circumstances. Wilson helped me realize that although ... Plan B is always better than our Plan A
