100 Prayers God Loves To Hear, 100 Praise Songs


My four year old nephew has just started school and there can be no better moment and opportunity to start learning God’s words than through “100 Prayers God Loves To Hear, 100 Praise Songs”, created by Stephen Elkins and illustrated by Tim O’ Conner. This book created for and targeted towards children comes as an innovative and prudent initiative. Most parents grapple with the exercise of initiating the young ones to faith and God’s word but now with this title along with the 2 Cds that accompany it, the task becomes much simpler.

Each page has a lovely little prayer in a colored box in the center with a colored and relating picture on the opposite page and a quote at the bottom. This beautiful scheme is bound to catch the attention and fancy of children. The Cds contain songs sung by children and are quite refreshing to the ears. Kids will love it. Overall I think this is a lovely collection that every child would love to have in his library and every parent would be proud to gift.

Wild at Heart- Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul

Wild at Heart- Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul by John Eldredge is really a book with a difference. It is not everyday that one gets to review the 10th anniversary edition of a New York Times bestseller but with the initiative of Booksneeze I humbly got the opportunity.

Wild at Heart- Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul provides a perspective into the hearts and minds of women and what they desire from a relationship. It gives an across the table view of perspectives that people often face in day to day lives. The Biblical references attached to the issues are quite appropriate. The presentation is a bit different from earlier issues but the content is more or less the same. The best aspect that I found after reading the book is that it is thought provoking and makes us think and react better. After all life is neither fair nor unfair, it is our perception of it that seems so.

I recommend this book for everyone as it can be used as a tool in our day to day dealings in our relationships. It provides answers, opens options and above all gives us a sense of confidence. A great book by a fantastic author.
