Lead Me: Finding Courage to Fight for Your Marriage, Children, and Faith by Matt Hammitt Book Review

In Lead Me, Matt Hammitt opened up about his personal story and how he was able to rediscover his courage and to fight for his marriage and be a leader. Matt Hammitt was the lead singer for Sanctus Real until 2015. They had a few hit songs such as, Lead Me, Forgiven, The Face of Love, and much more. In the book, he went into detail about his journey with the band and the life on the road. He felt God was calling in to let go and trust Him to still provide for him when he left the group. He wrote each member of the band a personal letter explaining why he was leaving after twenty years together. His marriage to Sarah had its up and downs and they would fight often.  Readers will get to see a glimpse into their marriage and how Matt realized that he had to make a change. He explained how we can get so focused on our spouse failures that we miss seeing our own.  A lot of the struggle on their marriage was the fact that he was always gone and she felt like he needed to be home more. He admits to most of the fights he can’t even remember what they were about. He is the father to four kids. One of his kids, Bowen had a battle of health challenges that tested his faith and direction for his future. He had congenital heart disease and a host of issues that shaken them. 

 

 

In the book, he explained how he was named the barf king. He shared how he was called this because when he was in first grade, he was waiting at the water fountain. He threw up because he struggled with anxiety. The stress grew as he got older and he was diagnosis with irritable bowel syndrome. He covered how he experienced bullying and how this affected him. He shared how he attended church regularly and then it changed when his family was asked to leave the church. They found a new church but still encountered some challenges times. 

 

 

 

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian music and they are ready to discover helpful marriage advice. I was greatly touched by his story and reading the behind the scenes of Sanctus Real. It was interesting to read about the hit song, Lead Me and how it has changed lives and has helped men to lead their families. His wife was the one who called him to step up and lead their family. The book contained very beneficial advice for marriage and what they learned thru trial and error. He also did a blog during the time Bowen was born and it became very popular and even lead to a GMA interview. What was really surprising was how one of his daughters kept have a recurring dream that her brother would die and he was the same age as his parents on stage. I enjoyed reading about the life story of how Sanctus Real come to be and the message behind some of the songs. He also told the story about how the idea of the name of the band come to be.

My Personal Favorite:

The Story of the Wise Men by Patricia A. Pingry Book Review

 

The Story of the Wise Men is a Christmas story about the wise men traveling to Bethlehem following the great star. They travelled to see the Great Messiah being born. They brought him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. It is a classic tale of Jesus being born and told by the wise men. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome Christmas book to kids aged 1-6. I loved how it taught the journey to Bethlehem and how they were able to meet Jesus. It showed the importance of the star and how it helped guide them to meet the Savior of the world. We need them being the first worshipper to Jesus. I loved the illustrations and how detailed they appeared and how it will teach our children the story of Jesus and the wise men.

Alphabet Love is a children book featuring colorful illustration about the alphabet and what it stands for. For example, the letter M stands for mittens for when it’s a cold day.

It features many different animals and how they struggled with challenges and they were able to dealt with them.

The Whole Bible Story: Everything that Happens in the Bible Young Reader’s Edition by Dr. William G. Marty with Troy Schmidt Book Review

 

The Whole Bible Story is a book to help young readers aged 8 to 12 to read and understand the Bible in simpler terms. The book begins with Genesis and ends with Acts so it doesn’t technically cover the whole Bible in details. It did mention at the very end a little about Revelations. The book contained trivia, what’s the point headlines, illustrations, who’s who, where are we, interesting stuff, and much more. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome children’s Bible storybook to anyone ages 6-12. I loved how they wrote it where children of all ages could understand the Bible. I liked how the also try and add a fresh look at the Bible and tried to make some of it more modern. In this book, parents don’t have to worry about their children reading some of the darker topics of the Bible. It’s all kid friendly that still teaches them the overall message of God’s love to His people. I also enjoyed how they included prophecy fulfilled throughout the book to show how previous scriptures all came together. The only thing I didn’t like was how after Acts, they kind of only touched briefly on some of the rest of the Bible. I don’t feel like it was technically the whole Bible. But I get why they might have left some of them out. Overall, still a wonderful book to help children to start reading about the stories found in the Bible.

The Giving Manger Written by Allison Hottinger and Illustrated by Emily King Book Review

The Giving Manger is a wonderful children’s book filled with a fun activity that the whole family can participate in. The book comes with a neat manger made out of wood, straw, and a baby Jesus. The book is based on the scripture verse found in Matthew 25:40b. The verse is about how if we do anything for someone else who is a least of these, then it is like we are doing it unto Jesus. The book tells the story of a family whose father decided to change up Christmas. They didn’t have a lot of money themselves. Her father would crave a special wooden toy each year for Anne and her brother, Ben. Her father announced how this year would be different they would do gifts everyday starting December 1^st. Both children were so excited until they discovered that it was a different kind of gift. They would instead do a random act of kindness to be a blessing each day and then they could place a piece of straw into the wooden toy manger. They would be following the teaching of Jesus and serving others and being a blessing to them. On December 25, they would place the wooden baby Jesus into the manger. 

 

 

 

I would recommend this inspiring children’s book to anyone who is seeking a new Christmas book to start a new family tradition with. I immensely loved the idea of the wooden manger and placing the straw into it and the power of serving others. I liked how Allison come up with this neat idea and they created this wonderful gift set to help families to come together to serve others. I also liked how she included special ideas from children, to teenagers, to families as a whole on how to serve. Some of my favorite ideas were: “make dessert for a neighbor, forgiving someone who hurt you, leave a kind note in a library book, take treats to a fire station, pay for a person behind you, pray for someone in need”, and much more. I also loved the illustrations and how they all appeared to look like wooden characters. This book and gift set would have a great Christmas gift to every child on their list, this season!

The Gift Shop Bear Written/ Illustrated by Phyllis Harris Book Review

The Gift Shop Bear is a book about a Christmas bear who lives in the gift shop and he only comes out of the attic at Christmas time. He is always so happy when he is able to see Annie. They shared a cute friendship together. They would share secrets, make crafts, have hot cocoa, watch the snow fall, and listen to the carolers. Many kids wanted to buy bear but he wasn’t for sale. At night, he would be placed under the display Christmas tree in the shop’s window. He would dread the day that Christmas was over and when he would be put back upstairs. Until one day, something happened to change everything the store was closing. 

 

 

I would recommend this wonderful Christmas book to any child aged 3-9. The book is a very heartwarming story of a little girl and a bear and their special friendship. I liked how it had they both shared an everlasting bond and how they would both miss each other during the other seasons. The book displayed to children the importance of friendship and the longing to be together even when you’re far apart. I loved how colorful the illustrations were and how detailed they were. The book has the beautiful graphics to appeal to children.

The book was written with a riddle and then a door that readers can lift up to try and guess what costume theme is behind it. Some of these include cowgirl, super hero, princess, and more.

Bedtime Snuggles by Patricia Reeder Eubank Book Review

In Bedtime Snuggles, Patricia Reeder Eubank has written a children’s book about how different animals settle down at night and snuggle up and get cozy for the night. Some of these animals included chickens, bunnies, horses, raccoons, mice, lambs, foxes, owls, and more. The book shows how each animal gets ready for bed. In the end of the book, it shows a parent getting a child ready for bed by praying and cradling them. 

 

 

This book is a wonderful book for any child: baby to aged 6. The book is made out of the hardcover cardboard where kids can’t tear it up as easily. The book contained a tale about bedtime and getting ready for a peaceful sleep. This would be a good book for parents to read together at bedtime. The illustrations are beautiful and you can see the details presented in the animals and their fur. I loved the farm themed animals and this will capture the attention of little ones.

The Happy Crab by Layla and Kevin Palmer Illustrated by Guy Wolek Book Review

In The Happy Crab, Layla and Kevin has written a brand-new children’s book about the adventures of a happy crab in the ocean. He travelled on the back of a whale one time to Haiti. He hunted treasure, surfed the waves, and went all over the world. One day, he was sleepy and fell asleep in a shell. A boy discovered the shell and loved how beautiful the shell was and it wasn’t broken like many of the others. He was picked up by a little boy and they took him away from the ocean. Eventually, they realized that there was a live crab inside the shell. His parents encouraged the boy to return him to the ocean. Before they returned him, the boy gave the crab the name happy. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome children’s book to any child aged 1-8. I liked how the book was kind of illustrated like the author appear on the back of the book and it’s based on personal true story. This book had a great message of putting others and their needs before our own. This is one of the secrets to true happiness. The boy could have easily kept him and chose to kick him out of his shell where he could have a nice shell to take home and display to his friends. I loved the ocean theme and the bright colors presented in the book. There is a lot of attention to detail in the illustrations.

Roar Like a Lion: 90 Devotions to a Courageous Faith by Levi Lusko Book Review and Giveaway

In Roar like a Lion, Levi Lusko has written a brand-new children’s 90 days devotional book. He begins the book by revealing how Jesus is called the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He described how a lion club starts out blind and then grows up and learns how to survive in wilderness. Each day had a scripture verse, a short story, and a “did you know” or a “get ready to roar”. He also shared how he wrote this book in the honor of his daughter, Lenya who passed away after suffering from a severe asthma attack while they were wrapping Christmas gifts. 

 

 

The first devotional was on 2 Timothy 1:7 and this one discussed how God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear. He gave us the spirit of power, love, and self-control. This devotional covered how a lion isn’t afraid. They roar for three reasons: “let other lions know where they are, show how powerful they are, and to scare away an enemy”. He goes on to explained how we also need to roar to, “let other believers know where you are and they aren’t alone, show how powerful God is, to scare off your enemy, the devil”. He illustrated how a lion is brave and how we can also receive the strength and power from God. 

 

 

In the book, he also opened up about his own life stories in order to help children to understand that they aren’t alone and he faced different things growing up as well. He explained how he was picked on a lot in school and bullied. He admitted that he had buckteeth, wore glasses, had asthma, and he tried playing sports but had trouble breathing so he wasn’t every good. He shared that he was called names and he struggled with fitting in. He didn’t make good friends until he discovered a group of Christians and they tried to get to know him and they became his true friends. He went on to explain bullying and how we can feel like the world is against us and this is in face a life from the devil. He shared how we are all worthy of love. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome children’s book to all children but especially to the ones aged 4 to 12. I immensely loved in the book how he looked at the different aspects of faith and how we can become brave and have the courage to reach out to others and make a difference. I also liked how some of the days included ways we can be kind to someone else. I also enjoyed how they included colorful illustrations to keep the readers engaged. I also liked how they included special ship anchors hidden throughout the illustrations that readers get to try and find. This book would make a great devotional for children and it will assist them in growing in their faith.

30,000 Stitches: The Inspiring Story of the National 9/11 Flag Written by Amanda Davis Illustrated by Sally Wern Comport Book Review

 

30,000 Stitches is a true story based on an American flag recovered from the Twin Towers in New York City on 9/11. This book was written 20 years later. As many people know, this was the day the twin buildings collapsed and thousands lost their lives. This book is the story of how construction workers hung an American flag up and it was thirty feet wide and twenty feet tall. They eventually took it down after it faded to gray and was torn. Six years later, there was a massive tornado that hit Greensburg, Kansas and volunteers come from NY to help rebuild their town. They were asked to bring a memento from Ground Zero and they decided to bring the flag. People from the town saw the flag and came up with an idea to use their own torn flags to stitch and repair the flag. They decided to send the flag to all fifty states and let the whole country help stitch and repair it together as one nation. Veterans, active-duty soldiers, members of Nasa, and everyday people helped to repair it. The book also showed the flag being repaired by the family of Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King in Georgia. Ten years later and 30,000 stiches later it was finished by tornado survivors in Joplin, Missouri. It was returned to New York and is currently in a museum. 

 

 

I would recommend this awe-inspiring children’s book to anyone who is looking for a book that helps explain the fabric of America and provides hope in the midst of a terrible event. This is the first time that I have ever heard the story about the 30,000 stitches on the American flag and it was very heart touching. I don’t even recall hearing this discussed on the news. I loved the background story the author included at the end of the book to go more in detail about the flag and the history behind it. I liked how in depth it was and how it showed real life photos showing the real true flag. I also loved the illustrations and the colors of the book. It all appeared gray and darker colors that looked like stiches in fabric to showcase the story of the torn flag and the restoration process.

Dozers Don’t Doze Written by Melinda Rathjen and Illustrated by Gareth Williams Book Review

Dozers Don’t Doze is a children’s book about bulldozers and how they are unliked any other kind of equipment vehicle. They don’t sleep and they just keep going on. Tractors take breaks when they are finished plowing their rows. Race cares make pit stops along the way when they are on the race track but dozers work harder and don’t need naps. Tow trucks get tired and they begin to just drag along. Backhoes don’t because they are stronger because they have to dig in the dirt. There are many more examples included in this book to engage our children. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome children’s book especially to any little boys they would greatly enjoy reading the story about dozers and how they are strong diggers, hard workers, and they just keep going through whatever. I love the illustrations of all the different vehicles and how they showed many different types that will keep the attention of little boys. Girls could always read this book if they have an interest in dozers and cars. The book was very colorful and a very easy read. I liked how the book was also in a hard cardboard material and I think these books are great for babies and younger kids since we know they love to try and chew them.

A Flood of Kindness written by Ellen Leventhal Illustrated by Blythe Russo Book Review

A Flood of Kindness is a story about how the river in the town decided to jump its bank and changed the town. There was a massive flood and the rain wouldn’t stop. They had to be rescued by a boat and they were transported to a shelter. The book described what she saw and how there was no room. A girl with a book waved at her and she didn’t wave back. They had to eat a peanut butter sandwich and she wasn’t used to that. She also only had her teddy left. A few days later, the water went down and they were able to go home. But they couldn’t live there so they had to travel back to the shelter. She explained how she saw people helping one another on the way back to the shelter. The girl with the book walked over to her and gave her a book and told her it was time for her to pass it on. Later, she saw a small boy all alone under a tree and he was upset because he lost all of his toys. He explained to her how he had a teddy bear like hers. She then remembered that she borrowed socks when she had wet ones, and how she borrowed a book. Then she handed the boy her own teddy bear and told him he could have him and it was time to pass him on. The boy smiled at her and she smiled too. The flood of kindness spread throughout the whole town and the book explained how we can also be a blessing to one another. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is looking for a story about something negative happening and then finding the positive in the event. I immensely enjoyed the message of this book. It was more a darker tale at first, but if you went through a weather-related event and you needed to explain it to your children, this book would be a wonderful resource to use. The author also experienced three times in her own life flooding of her own. I liked how she added kindness to the story and was trying to teach our children how to have empathy.

Dream Big, My Precious One by Jill Roman Lord Illustrated by Brittany E. Lakin Book Review

In Dream Big, My Precious One is a book about dreaming big and providing hope to our children to keep striving and following their dreams. The book begins by a parent holding a children close to them on the beach describing all the things they could become. Some of these dreams could include, climbing a mountain to hike, playing ball, biking, playing guitar, kicking a ball, painting, dancing, building, becoming a doctor, nurse, a preacher, counselor, vet, serving others, opening up a store, and much more. The book also explained how God gave us these dreams since before we were born. They also revealed how dreams don’t happen overnight, how we have to keep fighting for it, training, running your race, and even when you fail short. They also reminded our children that our dreams aren’t just for us they are for other people’s benefits too and we might help change their lives. The book teaches our children to keep dreaming and to never settle and to trust God along the way. 

 

 

I would recommend this amazing children’s book to anyone who is wanting to encourage and inspire their children to dream. This book has the potential to teach our children that they are dream big. I liked how they included anything from nurses to preachers to being a guitar player. There was a wide vast scope of dreams, professions, and callings that our children can go after their God given dreams and talents. I also liked how they included a scripture verse at end of the book where our children can begin to learn one verse. I really enjoyed the message this book included about dreaming big and inspiring our children. These illustrations included in this book were beautiful and eye appealing to our children.

Hello from Here Written by Pamela Kennedy Illustrated by Mackenzie Haley Book Review

Hello from Here is a brand-new children’s book about all the fun ways you can say hello. Some of these included, calling you on the phone, explaining what you see while you are walking, sending a letter by mail, drawing you a picture, writing a message up in the sky, putting a note on a dolphin at the sea, putting a flag on the moon, and much more. This book is all about connecting with others from a distance. The book itself is enclosed in a hardboard and it would make it more difficult for children to rip or tear the pages. 

 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome children’s book to anyone who is looking for a new book that will inspire children to connect with friends and family during the pandemic and even after it. I liked how the book included many ways on connecting and building relationships when not in person. These included writing a letter, making food, sending a dinosaur over to kiss you, blowing giant bubbles, and yelling from a mountain about how much you love them. There is ton of special fun ways that our children could tell someone that they love them and they care for them. The book helps build their imagination. I also enjoyed the illustrations and the small attention to details that kids can look for special objects and connect with their kid.
