Update & A book review!

Oooohhh the goodness!!!!

 So here's the latest update: We are currently expecting our third child, due in May (literally days before Caleb's 3rd birthday)! This is such awesome news for our family because we have been trying for over a year for our third child and we miscarried last summer. So we are completely ecstatic about the impending birth of baby #3.

Which brings me to the book review....well sorta. 





So the latest item to hit the Bush household for review is the Adventure Bible Handbook! This book is absolutely awesome. It's not exactly a bible but is set up like a guide to the bible using comic strips. It goes from beginning to end of the bible. It reads like a guide to the different books of the bible. The great thing is that while it goes into detail on certain stories and people in the bible, it also lists the exact passage in the bible that correlates with it.

 So far the kiddos love it. They love the comic strip part the most and Caleb loves that its small enough for him to pick up on his own, lol.

 Since I like the Adventure Bible Handbook so much. I now want to try the Adventure Bible with the kids.
So have any of you read the Adventure Bible to your children? And are you interested in the Adventure Bible Handbook?

 Love greatly, love freely.

Earth Psalms

Image
Earth Psalms is a collection of devotions paired with beautiful photographs of nature. The devotions are meant to spark reflection and application. There are 52 devotions for weekly reading. This devotional is a collaboration between Francine Rivers and Karin Buursma. Francine knew she wanted to write a devotional with added photos of nature so we can see the beauty and work of God in the nature around us but she wanted the devotional to have a bit more depth so that's where Karin Buursma comes in at adding in the hymns, quotes, reflections, and applications throughout the devotional. 
The book is very well put together with hardback and nice thick pages with full vibrant color photos. Each devotion is themed with a color as can be seen below the second devotions pages all have deep teal color coordination. Don't get me wrong this is a beautiful devotional and is very good on content but also because of its beauty it can be put on a coffee table of sorts to spark interest and…

Inductive Bible Study

So I was absolutely stoked when I saw that I had the chance to review this book.


Why?
Because I had been wanted to study more in-depth and I had always heard that the Inductive Bible Study Method was one of the best ways to study the bible.
Now here's the kicker, I had always been studying the bible (on a very basic level) in an inductive format. But after reading this book, which is actually a textbook, I learned just how much can go into studying the bible and how there is ALWAYS something to study and learn. You can never exhaust the bible.
This particular book examines studying the bible in an inductive format: Observation, Interpretation, and Application through the perspective of History, Literature and Theology. Now what I gather this to mean is: Observing the bible (passage, book, verse) by checking out its historical context (what prompts the author to write), literary context (how is it written, genres, literary devices are used), and understanding theology that everyth…

UltraThin Reference Bible

Image
A good Bible is always hard to resist. Usually, I enjoy a good study bible. However, a good reference bible is just as necessary as it allows the Bible to be its own commentary.
Holman Publishers recently came out with a ultrathin reference Bible. I love that it is seriously thin, it can easily slide in my bag for church and to take to work (yes I take a bible to work to read on my lunch break). It's much lighter than one of my study bibles.





The one I was sent to review is brown leather, a classic appearance. The print isn't too big or too small. 
But the best part? The center column cross reference system. Above is an example of the cross reference system. There a letter next to the verse which corresponds to a verse in the middle column. 
I like being able to read a physical Bible and look up the references myself and allow the Bible to interpret itself.I have grown rather fond of this translation as it is actually pretty close to the NASB (at least from what I have observe…
