Mesi: A Girl ‘n Grace in Africa
by Pam Davis
You may have seen the dolls in Christian bookstores, similar to the American Girl series, but with a most DEFINITELY Godly message. Now, take a peek at a new book series designed to encourage young girls in their faith in Christ, as well as teach them about history and other cultures! Introducing "Girls ‘n Grace" by author Pam Davis!
The first title is "Mesi: A Girl ‘n Grace in Africa" and tells the story of a young girl in Africa who learns that God truly cares about her in every way. Filled with cultural detail and gorgeous illustrations, Mesi (pronounced May-cee) longs to go to school.
Watching as God provides is an inspiration that will motivate young girls to pray and trust God for everything, and to know that sometimes His gifts come in unexpected ways.

Sydney Clair’s Season of Change
by Pam Davis
The second story is "Sydney Clair’s Season of Change" and tells of a young girl’s experience in the days of the Civil Rights Movement, as well as the war protests and how they impact her life. She learns through personal experience how rejection feels, especially when it isn’t fair.
These books are wonderful! The illustrations are gorgeous, and the stories are interactive, encouraging girls to go to the Girls ‘n Grace website and learn more. I’m giving this series five out of five bookmarks, with a world globe as a charm. Learn more about God, a relationship with Him, and cultures world wide!

BOOK REVIEW | If Jesus Lived Inside My Heart
Posted by admin | Filed under Holidays
AUTHOR: Jill Roman Lord
ILLUSTRATOR: Amy Wummer
If Jesus lived inside my heart, would other people know?
IF JESUS LIVED INSIDE MY HEART takes that question and answers it in a charming and colorfully illustrated way to teach your preschooler what it means to live for Jesus, and to do what Jesus would have you do.
The story is written in rhyme, and is sure to hold the child’s interest. I sat down and read this book right away to my two year old and my five year old right away, and they both loved it.
IF JESUS LIVED INSIDE MY HEART is hardcover, and perfectly sized to be a stocking stuffer for Christmas, or a gift anytime. I loved the story and the thought, and this would even be excellent for children’s lessons in preschool children’s church classes.
I highly recommend this cute little book for your favorite preschooler. Or as a gift to the church nursery or preschool departments. Its sturdy, so not easily destroyed, and the children will love it. For three to six year olds. $6.99 hard cover. 26 pages.
