When I received my catalog to Christian books I started thinking about Christmas shopping and I thought why not make a few recommendations that I think would be great for us grandmothers to give to our grands and families. I don't k now about you but I have a hard time thinking of something they would like!
1. I think one of my favorite items would be this book which I am hearing about at church and our daughter bought for her girls. My Sunday school teacher would read from it to add to our classes and we all fell in love with it. Even though it is for children it was cherished by we women in our class as well!
The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the story beneath all the stories in the Bible. At the center of all is a baby, the child upon whom everything will depend. From Noah, to Moses, to the great King David---every story points to Jesus. He is the missing piece to the puzzle---the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the true picture of who Jesus is! $9.99
2. For younger grand children I highly recommend this wonderful Christmas nativity!
Fisher Price Little Nativity
Little hearts will love the Fisher-Price ® Little People ® Nativity Set! Engage your toddler in the joy of celebrating the true meaning of Christmas with their own nativity set, complete with chubby, child-friendly figures and all the key characters that bring to life the story of Baby Jesus' birth.
At $29.99 I cannot think of a better toy for your toddler than this set. using it to retell the birth of Jesus and children love setting it up and retelling it to themselves, over and over again. It is just right to facilitate their understanding and they will enjoy playing with it for years to come.
3. If you struggle about what to get your daughter I know of no other book that moves the heart than this one!
A grace-filled invitation to leave the parched ground of pride, fear, and white-knuckle control behind---and immerse yourself in the depths of God! Poignant and poetic, Voskamp's gentle reflections teach you how to biblically lament loss, be transfigured by pain, intentionally embrace radical gratitude, and abandon yourself to God. Anniversary edition features a new introduction. 240 pages, hardcover from Nelson. What an offer at$5.00
Most women who have this book enjoy journalling about it or beginning their own list of 1000 gifts they experience in their day.. it fosters such a heart of thanksgiving! So I would include a beautiful new journal in your gift!
4. For the Bible study person in your family this is a wonderful gift.. I am putting it on my wish list!
I love to mark in my Bible. I have one that is all marked up because as I reread through a passage it helps me to really remember what I have learned. These pens are marvelous..Pack of 5 Bible study marking kit including, 4 Bible gel highlighters and 1 Pigma Micron pen underliner. Vibrant color smooth gel ink highlighters in pink, blue, yellow, and green with black fine point underlining pen. No bleed through, Bible safe ink. $7.99 The fine line of the underliner is wonderful for writing notes in the margins!
Check out the website. There are so many other great ideas there.. Family movies on DVD, great music CD's, wonderful books including great fiction books. Also, now they have their gorgeous Christmas cards on sale! You might get to get your Christmas shopping done without leaving home! I think Im going to get a lot of mine done!!
