WINNER is PENNY - Comment #2
See below for selection from Random.org

When Katie, author of New York Timesbestseller, Kisses from Katie, moved to Uganda and later became the mother of thirteen girls through the miracle of adoption, she determined to weave her life together with the people she desired to serve. After unexpected tragedy shook her family, for the first time Katie began to wonder, Is God really good? Does He really love us?Daring to Hope is an invitation to cling to the God of the impossible—the God who whispers His love to us in the quiet, in the mundane, when our prayers are not answered the way we want or the miracle doesn’t come. It’s about choosing faith no matter the circumstance and about encountering God’s goodness in the least expected places. 


Available on Amazon, CBD and other retailers. 

Meet Katie Davis Majors
Katie Davis Majors moved to Uganda over a decade ago with no idea that this would be the place that God chose to build her home and her family. Today, she is a wife to Benji and mama to her fourteen favorite people. Katie and her family invest their lives in empowering the people of Uganda with education, medical care, and spiritual discipleship. She is also the founder of Amazima Ministries, an organization that cares for vulnerable children and families in Uganda and the author of the New York Times bestseller Kisses from Katie.

My Take:
I read Kisses from Katie years ago, and found it inspirational. This book was no different. I was so excited to get to read the follow up on Katie's story. 

Words cannot really describe how I feel about this book. It was moving, inspirational, and many times brought me to tears. It was just what I needed to read at the time. The Lord used it to increase my faith, to remind me of who He is, to inspire me to trust Him even when I cannot see the outcome. 

Katie's life is exemplary, but not because she is perfect, instead because her goal is to be what her Savior wants. It's about surrender to God's will, our brokenness and God creating beauty from out ashes. 

I cannot say enough good about this book, just read it for yourself. Ask God to open your eyes to what He wants to say to you through it. 

I received this book courtesy of iconmedia to read. I was in no way required or asked to review positively.

  2. I haven't read her books, but I've been on the mission field for 20 years. I've often felt that God has used the work more to shape me than to change others. This book addresses a tough topic, and I'd love to read it.

My Body's Mine by Kayla Marnach

My Body's Mine helps children learn they have the rights to their body. Told through rhyme from a child's point of view this book on boundaries empowers each child to say no when others approach them in ways that make them uncomfortable. It also gives clear instructions on what to do if they are approached in an unwanted manner. The questions at the end of the book provides an easy transition for counselors and parents to open a discussion to prevent abuse or to further explore if abuse has occurred.

Night Night Farm by Amy Parker w/ Giveaway - Ended

Congratulations to our Winner - Lynne In  Night Night , Farm by Amy Parker, parents and little ones will unwind as sweet farm animals in pj's say goodnight to their farm, their mommies and daddies, and to God. Rhyming verse, calming artwork, and whimsical renditions of favorite farm animals in their cozy beds will make this bedtime book a favorite for years to come. My Thoughts: This book is so adorable. I am already loving that one day I will be able to use it with my grandchildren. It is a hard back padded type cover. The pages are board book style with beautiful illustrations, brightly colored and full of the most adorable farm animals you've ever seen. They will capture your heart, as well as you child's.  Each page consists of a different animal going to sleep, written in poetic style with the animal sound and name of the animal at then end of each prose. The last page affirms how God made all these animals and "me too"! The child will learn about

A Challenging Perspective on Hospitality

  This book! Wow! What can I say? It's radical, convicting, and pushes you to live completely out of your comfort zone for the sake of the GOSPEL! Rosaria's personal story is a story of Grace - God's grace and a life transformed by the Gospel. She inspires us to practice true hospitality like the Bible commands. She talks about the importance of hospitality, how to use hospitality to share Jesus and the Gospel, and how our lives and those of others should be changed by it. She invites us to reach out, invite in, and love people of all different backgrounds, even those who don't particularly agree with us in lifestyle or otherwise. She propels us to love the sinner, while not condoning the sin. Hospitality - open arms, open table, a welcome to all.  I wish I could put into words how this book inspired me to take a good look at my own life and how I practice hospitality. It made me re-evaluate what I might think hospitality looks like and how to apply it to real life in c
