I recently received a copy of Generation to Generation to read. Generation to Generation is the new book from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, written by the founders daughter, Yael Eckstein.

The sub title Passing on a Legacy of Faith to Our Children aptly describes this book.

Chapters include Shabbat, Passover, Shavuot, Tisha B’Av, the High Holy Day, Sukkot, Purim, and tzedakah. Within those chapters, discussions include teaching our children, priorities, gratitude, hope, forgiveness, faith, courage, generosity, and more.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews was founded in 1983 by Orthodox Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, whose vision for building bridges of understanding and cooperation between Christians and Jews has been translated into the largest Christian-supported humanitarian agency helping Jews in Israel and around the world. You can learn more about the organization and Rabbi Eckstein here.

For more than 2,000 years, the Jewish people have preserved and maintained their faith from generation to generation, despite being exiled from their land and suffering persecutions, pogroms, and even the Holocaust, where six million Jewish women, men, and children were killed at the hands of the Nazis. In her book, Generation to Generation, Fellowship President and CEO Yael Eckstein unlocks the keys to how the Jewish people have successfully passed on the legacy of faith through the family,  and offers insights into how Christians can incorporate these principles within their own families to pass on a strong and living faith.

The author, Yael Eckstein, is President and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, the largest provider of humanitarian aid in Israel.  You can find more info about her on the book site, www.generationbook.org

Generation to Generation Book Review

You can tell how good a book is by how many pages you mark! This was not just for a picture. These are actual markers I placed while I read this book.

I love that at the end of every chapter there are 3 pages to help you see where what was discussed in that chapter is mentioned in the New Testament, Family Talk – family discussion questions, and Bible verses to memorize.

In this example you find out how Tisha B’av is mentioned. These pages are very informative. You just may see a connection that you haven’t seen before.

Depending on the ages of your children, you may be able to read these Family Talk questions just as they are. For younger kids, you can easily simplify the questions to their level.

At the bottom of this page is a section just for parents. These sections will encourage and inspire you to learn and live these principals with your children every day.

The page of Bible memory verses includes selections from both the Old and the New Testaments. The verses vary in length. You choose which one, or more, will work for you family.

I highly recommend this book if you have children. I wish I had had this book when mine were younger! Yes, my kids are now grown. I still loved this book!

I highly recommend this book if you have ever delved into your Jewish roots, or would like to. You don’t have to have young kids to read this book! She does talk about kids a lot, but the book isn’t written for kids, it’s written for adults.

I highly recommend this book if you desire to learn how to share your faith with your children on a daily basis. The author shares many, many examples of how to live out the principles in this book. Ways to weave your faith into everything you do every day with your family.

Maybe you don’t have kids. Or like me, your kids are grown. Give this book to those in your life that do have kids. Grandparents, share this book with your kids, so they can share it with theirs.

Generation to Generation is available on Amazon.

I recently received a copy of the book The Logic of God to read. I was looking forward to reading this new book. And I wasn’t disappointed.

The Logic of God Book Description

Jesus Christ alone answers our deepest questions.

We all have doubts that challenge our faith. We wonder whether the Bible still matters, or whether God is truly as loving and personal as we hope. In his first ever devotional, The Logic of God, apologist Ravi Zacharias offers 52 readings that explain how and why Christianity, the Bible, and God are still relevant, vital, and life-changing for us today. To all our dilemmas Ravi says, “I am convinced that Jesus Christ alone uniquely answers the deepest questions of our hearts and minds.”

With a remarkable grasp of biblical facts and a deep understanding of the questions that trouble our hearts, Ravi tackles the most difficult topics with ease and understanding. But The Logic of God is more than intellectual; it is also personal, offering thoughtful wisdom on:

• when Jesus draws especially near you.
• the deep ray of hope found in God’s Word.
• how God transforms disappointments.
• why prayer matters.
• how genuine peace is possible.
• making sense of suffering.

Ravi makes profound biblical truth easy to understand. And if your life is busy, this book is designed for you! It addresses 52 topics that you can read over the course of one year or slowly digest at your own pace. Each entry includes a Scripture, questions for reflection, and some practical application steps.

When you’re struggling with questions and doubts, confused, curious, or just want a clearer way to express your faith The Logic of God has answers from that satisfy the heart and the mind.

The Logic of God Book Review

The Logic of God is a devotional book with 52 entries. Each day’s reading follows the same pattern.

A scripture verse

2-4 pages of reading

2 Reflection Questions

2 Personal Application questions &/or things to do

This is not a fluff devotional. The readings are full of information, references, stories, and more. The questions are challenging to the reader, as in challenging you to think about the lesson and reach deep to answer it. But not so hard that you can’t answer them. There are no right or wrong answers!

You can choose how you want to read this book. You read one a day, and finish in under 2 months, one a day Monday-Friday and finish in about 2 1/2 months, or read one a week for a year.

I am really liking this devotional. I have found many of the readings to be much more than what the typical devotion is like in make books. Many of these are more like a teaching session. They are easy to read, but challenging at the same time. I like that there is a note section in the back that tells you where the references came from. As well as several pages of lined pages for you to write your own notes. There is a built in ribbon bookmark so you can easily find your place.

If you are looking for a devotional to challenge you to find out what you believe and why, The Logic of God is the devotional for you.

The Logic of God is available on Amazon.

As a mom of 6, I know first hand how hard it is to fit in Bible reading and devotion time. It’s not because we don’t want to. It’s because we have these little people all clamoring for our attention. Often several at the same time. Add in work, and all the other responsibilities moms have, and it sure is hard to fit anything in!

That’s why I’m really liking Grit & Grace Devotions for Warrior Moms. Grit & Grace is a 90 day devotional for busy moms. Daily devotions take less than 5 minutes to read. Each devotion includes Bible verses, a prayer, along with a true story of motherhood with the spiritual truths the authors learned by going through the experience with their kids. This devotional is fully self contained, you don’t need to gather your Bible, notebook, pen, etc.

Grit & Grace Devotions for Warrior Moms Book Review & Giveaway

Grit & Grace Devotions for Warrior Moms is written for moms of young children. Babies, toddlers, and early elementary. I had all of those at the same time, along with a couple of teenagers, too. lol My oldest was 14 when my youngest was born. From reading these devotionals, I think they are appropriate for moms with kids of all ages. And Grandma’s too! Let’s not leave out the grandmas! I am one now. lol This devotional will encourage you while you spend quality time with your grandchildren. If you are one of the many, many grandmothers now raising your grandchildren, you will benefit greatly from this devotional book.

The authors are both busy moms that use their own real life stories, along with humor to help encourage moms. As you read the Bible verses and prayer that go along with each day’s message, you’ll discover more fully who you are in Christ and how to raise your children to reflect His love to the world.
