Generation to Generation Book Review

The Generation to Generation Book:

In Generation to Generation, Yael Eckstein shares the lessons of Faith instilled in her by her parents that helped her to persevere following the sudden death of her father and gave her the hope and courage she needed to follow in his footsteps as President and CEO of The Fellowship.

Generation to Generation will show you how to bring Bible stories to life, discover how the Biblical festivals and traditions can help you share Faith within your family.

I shared a review of Generation to Generation last year, you can see it here. My views have not changed. I still highly recommend this book. Here’s what my book looked like by the time I finished reading it. The book is that good!

Generation to Generation Book Review

The Generation to Generation Workbook:

In the companion workbook, you’ll discover how Christians can pass on these lessons of Faith to their children and grandchildren.

This workbook is family friendly and is filled with Bible lessons, activities, and discussion questions for all ages.

The Workbook is available FREE to everyone! It looks like it will be an amazing resource for the whole family. See below for link to get the workbook.

If you are unsure if the Generation to Generation book is for you, I suggest starting with the free workbook. I think once you see how great the workbook is, you will want the book, too!

Holy Land Moments Coloring Book:

Coloring isn’t just for kids anymore. Coloring is a great way for adults to relax. The Holy Land Moments Coloring Book will help you relax & focus on the beauty and wonder of God’s Creation and His Word.

This coloring book pairs 12 devotions, called reflections in the coloring book, with illustrations based on Biblical Scriptures. So keep this coloring book hidden from your kids, pick up your crayons, markers, or colored pencils, and create your own unique masterpiece — and also be encouraged spiritually. If you have teens, you will really have to hide it, or buy them each one, too.

Generation to Generation

Not only do I highly recommend the book Generation to Generation, I also highly recommend the workbook, and the coloring book.

I believe you will find all 3 to be a help and inspiration to your faith life, and for your family.

The Workbook is free, just click on the link above to get yours.

The Generation to Generation book, and the Holy Land Moments coloring book are available on the Fellowship of Christians and Jews website. You can get the Generation to Generation Workbook free here.

1% Better Book Review & Giveaway

by Leave a Comment

I recently received the book 1% Better Reaching My Full Potential and How You Can Too to review. Written by Chris Nikic & Nik Nikic, with Don Yaeger, 1% Better is written in Nik Nikic’s voice. Chris and his accomplishments are the focus of 1% Better, and Chris is a coauthor of the book as he was interviewed by his father and the writer.

1% Better Book Review & Giveaway

Chris Nikic, the first person with Down syndrome to every complete an IRONMAN triathlon, inspires others to achieve their goals by getting better 1% at a time.

If you have read only one article about Chris Nikic, you were likely hooked and wanted to read more. This inspiring young man, who in November 2020 became the first person with Down syndrome to complete an IRONMAN (and verified by Guinness World Records), has become famous. All across the globe, people followed his pursuit and cheered him on, but in this book Chris and his father, Nik, will give the how-to behind his success—getting better 1% at a time—which is something everyone can do in any area of their lives.

“My mission is to honor God by being the best me I can be so I can be an example to others,” states Chris. “I want to change the perceptions and raise expectations for others like me so we can reach our God-given potential.” In 1% Better, Chris and Nik share the motivating principles that can be applied by anyone trying to realize a dream and reach their full potential—whether they are young or old, in shape or out of shape, and even if living with a disability.

I enjoyed reading 1% Better. A great book, about a great guy, and his awesome accomplishments. I learned a couple of things that I will be applying to my life in areas that I need to improve.

1% Better is divided into 3 parts.

Part 1 covers from Dad’s childhood to Chris’ childhood, school, and interest in sports.

Part 2 is the section where Chris gets serious about his training, and his accomplishments.

Part 3 goes into more detail about the 1% better concept. The mindset and habits one needs to develop to achieve their goals and dreams.

In each part, Dad also talks about his business’, how they relate to his son, and to his 1% better philosophy.

I was slightly disappointed that there wasn’t more shown from Chris’s point of view. I believe that was by design, as stated above in the first paragraph. I did miss more of his voice, though.

Overall, 1% Better is a great book, and I highly recommend it. Whether you are looking for a great read, or a self help book to improve your life, I think you will like 1% Better, too.

You can purchase 1% Better HERE.

Vindication Review & Pure Flix Subscription Giveaway

by 11 Comments

Do you love binge watching shows? I do! I was recently able to watch all of Vindication Season 1, an original crime drama series on Pure Flix. I loved it! Check out my review of Vindication Season 1. Now I’m back with another Vindication Review & a PureFlix subscription giveaway!

Vindication Season 2 is now out, with a new episode every Wednesday! So far, Season 2 is just as awesome as Season 1.

Vindication is not one of the usual crime drama shows you usually see. It’s a faith based show that follows Detective Travis (Todd Terry, Breaking Bad), a 15 year police veteran in a small town in Texas.

I’m not seeing an official age rating, but Vindication is suitable for teenagers and adults.

I was assigned Season 2 Episode 5 The Game of Life to tell you about. There was a lot happening in this episode, the rivalry between Precinct 2 and Precinct 1 intensifies. In the office, in the gym, and culminating in a flag football game to raise money for charity. Playing your rivals makes for an intense football game.

Detective Travis and his wife, through a series of events, take in a young man just being released from jail. They are adjusting to having a young man in the house, while the young man is adjusting to living in a house again.

Vindication Season 2 Trailer

Check out the Vindication Season 2 trailer.

Unlike past episodes, there was no case solved in this episode. It focused on character development, continuing story lines, as well as starting a new storyline. Episode 5 ends in a cliffhanger. I don’t want to spoil it for you, so I won’t tell you what it is!

I enjoyed watching this episode. It was nice to have one that focused on the main characters more, instead of a crime. Can’t wait to watch the next one and see how this cliff hanger ends!!

You can watch Vindication on PureFlix.

For more information, visit the Vindication website.

Vindication Season 1 Review

by Leave a Comment

I love finding new shows to watch. I was able to watch Season 1 of Vindication on PureFlix last week. Actually, I binge watched the whole season, 10 episodes, in 2 days. lol And then I wished there had been more episodes in season 1!

Vindication is an original crime drama series on PureFlix. Started in 2005 by Michael Scott, David A.R. White, and Russell Wolfe, PureFlix leading faith & family friendly streaming video service.

Vindication is not one of the usual crime drama shows you usually see. It’s a faith based show that follows Detective Travis (Todd Terry, Breaking Bad), a 15 year police veteran in a small town in Texas. He faces a big adjustment when he is assigned a new trainee, that he doesn’t really want. His family is also featured in the episodes. His devoutly religious wife, and his estranged daughter that returns home. Other than a couple of higher ups in the police department that are shown occasionally, the episodes feature a new story line, and new characters in each .

I’m not seeing an official age rating, but Vindication is suitable for teenagers and adults.

One of the unique features to Vindication, is that while they are investigating the cases, there is always a faith based lesson that one of the characters learns by the end of each episode.

Vindication Season 1 Trailer

Check out the Vindication Season 1 trailer. (Sorry about the cookie warning on the video. There is nothing I can do about it, as it’s not on my end. If you don’t want to accept the cookies, you can still watch the video, just hit play, it just won’t be full screen.)

Here’s a sampling of some of the themes in Vindication Season 1 include, and there are many more.

  • relinquishing control
  • Stressed parent/child relationships
  • Repaired parent/child relationship
  • Making decisions to turn your life around
  • Telling the truth about hard things
  • Relying on prayer
  • Deliverance
  • PTSD/military
  • Marriage challenges
  • Drug addiction/relapse/recovery
  • Misunderstood odd behavior
  • Assuming the best in people
  • Autism/Disability
  • Keeping up with the Joneses/wealth/income
  • Parenting teenagers
  • Unanticipated consequences of sin
  • Self control and self mastery
  • Grass isn’t always greener

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first started watching Vindication. I didn’t realize that each episode was separate, and the story didn’t continue for the whole season. But after episode 1, I was hooked. I loved Vindication. I highly recommend it for teens and adults. For more information, visit the Vindication website.

I’m really looking forward to watching season 2. Which I will start doing very soon! lol

Keep your eye open for my review of an episode from Season 2 of Vindication. And an awesome giveaway that you won’t want to miss!

Show Me the Father Review & Giveaway

by 2 Comments

Show Me the Father is the new documentary from the Kendrick Brothers.

You may have seen some of their movies before. The Fly Wheel, Facing the Giants, War Room, Courageous, Fireproof, Overcomer. All awesome movies.

Show Me the Father is different from those great movies since it’s a documentary. The format may be different from their usual movies, but the Kendrick Brothers use this documentary to focus on the importance of fathers.

Society today tries to get us to believe that fathers are unnecessary. The Kendrick Brothers present a different perspective of the roles of fathers using interviews, old pictures, statistics, and more.

Check out the Trailer!

We all have a father story. Whether yours was the best father on the planet, the worst, or you never knew your father, and everywhere in between. We all have been affected by our fathers.

Show Me the Father has several amazing true stories that are powerful and heart warming. The Kendrick Brothers use these true stories of fathers to help us see the fatherhood of God. I had tears in my eyes several times while watching the screener. This is not your usual documentary fare. It’s very engaging and inspiring. I highly recommend you see Show Me the Father in theaters when it opens this weekend.

Show Me the Father Giveaway

Enter below to win 2 movie tickets, via Fandango, to see Show Me the Father opening weekend! Giveaway open to US residents only.

VOOKS Storybooks Brought to Life Review & Giveaway

by 4 Comments

*This post contains affiliate links

I was recently able to check out VOOKS, storybooks brought to life to review. VOOKS is a really cool streaming library of kid-safe animated storybooks. Be sure to check out the giveaway below!

VOOKS is trusted by teachers, and loved by kids around the world. It encourages independent learning, and a love of reading.

VOOKS Storybooks brought to life

VOOKS Review & Giveaway

Once you get a subscription to VOOKS, you can make profiles for your kids. This is easy, and only takes a few seconds. You put in their name – first or a chosen screen name, age, and their preferred language. You can pick from several options for a profile picture. All the options are similar in style to those you can see in the picture below. I actually like that they don’t give you the option of uploading the child’s picture.

Switching between profiles is very quick as well. The kids can do that themselves.

Once you are signed in to VOOKS, you will see a large selection of books, in different categories to choose from. The pic below is how it looks on the computer screen.

Below is a picture from my phone. When you click on a title, you can see how long the book is, what category it is in, and the age group it is best for. You can click the heart to save it for later in favorites.

Not only can they save the books that they want to read, this is useful for you to “assign” books for your child to read.

VOOKS even has lesson plans, offering discussion topics and engaging activities. They are fun, free, and printable. So whether you are a teacher, homeschool teacher, or parent looking to supplement your child’s learning, you will find them very useful. You can see some of the categories in the picture below.

If the child has to stop reading before they finish it, the next time they sign in it will tell them how much time they have remaining in the book. Then they can click on the resume button when they are ready to finish the book.

The words are displayed on the screen, with the words highlighted as the story is being read. This helps kids that are learning how to read, and also helps their vocabulary and spelling.

Below is a short video so you can get the feel of what the storybooks are like.

I have thoroughly enjoyed using VOOKS. The children in your life will enjoy it, too! It’s 100% kid-friendly and parent-approved!

Try Vooks free for 30 days! Go to VOOKS to sign up!
