Undaunted : a Review


I just finished a great book.  The author is Christine Caine.   It is a combination of a biography and christian living book.  The author explains how she became burdened about human trafficking and what she has done about it.

Ms. Caine shows you her heart in this book.  She challenges the business of life that causes us to interact with people without really seeing them.  She uses many scriptures to encourage the reader to get out of their comfort zone and live fully for God.

The author shows us who we are in Christ and challenges us to boldly follow God and rest in His promises.   I recommend this book wholeheartedly... may we never be the same.

Kiddos and books

Every night at bed time we have a routine.  We brush teeth, read the Bible and another book.  I have such a hard time finding good books that my 4, 6, and 8 year-old will all enjoy.  I like to reading to them.   Most of the books that are currently being produced for children encourage bad behaviors, show parents as stupid or weak and just aren't creative.  I look for books that both my sons and daughter will enjoy and something fun to wind down the day.

Here are a few of the books we have been enjoying lately:
Chocolate Fever
Little House on the Prairie
Encyclopedia Brown
The Indian in the Cupboard

Winter is a great time to snuggle up with your kiddos and enjoy an adventure...
