Fiction Mini Review: God Gave Us Angels by Lisa Tawn Bergren

God Gave Us Angels by Lisa Tawn Bergren

“What do angels do all day, Papa?”

When Papa finds Little Cub looking for angels, it gives him a chance to tell his beloved child about those that may be in their midst, even when they can’t be seen.  Exploring their exhilarating Arctic world as they talk, Papa lovingly answers all of Little Cub’s questions about angels—and as usual, she has a lot. She wants to know what they do, how they look, how they guard God’s loved ones, and best of all, how they serve the Creator of the world. 

“God really created angels to serve him more than us, Little Cub.
They love him and would do anything for him.”

This uplifting tale will encourage young hearts by exploring the glory and design of God’s messengers, while turning toward him with praise.

Review:

This book was so adorable and the pictures were great! Although one of the little boys I was reading to thought the flying bears were birdies, he loved the pictures of the animals the best. What I find great about this kids story was that while I was reading to the children, all of my concerns of the day go away when I see that smile of enjoyment on their face

Just to give you an idea of what they have to offer. Here are two of the books I have ordered from them (and I just started yesterday):

One is a fiction story, the other happens to be Nonfiction. (They also have Finding God in the Hobbit, which I plan to get as soon as possible). They also have a few teen/ya books for those who are younger. They have something that everyone can enjoy, but The Prayer Box is a featured product, so I think that it is only on there for today or at least for a limited time.... not sure, so I wouldn't take me 100% at my word.

Fiction Review: The Atonement Child by Francine Rivers

The Atonement Child

A beautiful repackaged edition of Francine Rivers's classic novel that breaks through the many taboos surrounding abortion. In one terrifying moment, Dynah Carey's perfect life is shattered by rape, her future irrevocably altered by an unwanted pregnancy, and her doting family torn apart. Her seemingly rock-solid faith is pushed to the limits as she faces the most momentous choice of her life—to embrace or to end the untimely life within her.

Review: 

Francine Rivers has a fantastic way to weave a story right into your heart. This is the second book I have read by her, and it did not disappoint at all. This story was tragically beautiful about Dynah Carters, who deals with rape, pregnancy, and the pressure of getting an abortion. Her life drastically alters after she is attacked near school grounds, and the result of how that horrible incident affects her life and her choices after that.

Resulting from the horrific event, she becomes pregnant and is placed in a predicament by the people who love her: to get an abortion. This book shows you how Dynah deals with her own decision, not one that she feels others have forced her into, and how by her own choice, she soon starts to heal from the pains of the past. She also learns that through this, God has not abandoned her to suffer alone and that even through a tragic event, something beautiful can come from it.

This book is definitely worth checking out, but at the same time, it will be hard to read through, and I will/am only recommending this book to those who can handle topics of rape and abortion.
