Looking for a way to become more comfortable praying?  Using images and text, May It Be So provides a forty day prayer and study guide through the Lord’s Prayer.  Although this book could be read very quickly, the full benefit of the text is found in approaching it with a reflective manner for the full forty days.

Love Changes Everything: Finding What’s Real in a World Full of Fake – Micah Berteau

In our broken world, love is a word that is casually used to describe a wide range of feelings.  Micah Berteau explores a completely different type of transformational love.  Using the Old Testament story of Hosea and Gomer, Berteau shares the extravagant love that God has for each and every one of us.  An easy, encouraging read, Loves Changes Everything also provides plenty of substance to think about and reflect upon for the reader.

Dear Grandchild, This is Me: A Gift of Stories, Wisdom, and Off-the-Record Tales

Dear Grandchild is a lovely keepsake journal.  It includes a wide range of questions that a grandparent can complete in order to share his/her experiences with a grandchild.  I particularly liked the “History and Me” section which allows one to share personal reflections related to a variety of historical events one personally experienced.  This journal is a lovely way to gather and keep family history details.
