Book Review: God Gave Us So Much, A Limited-Edition Three-Book Treasury

Book Review: Book Review: God Gave Us So Much, A Limited-Edition Three-Book Treasury by Lisa Tawn Bergren, art by Laura J. Bryant.

"I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review”.

Book Summary

Through the eyes of a curious little polar bear, young readers are invited into engaging journeys through the Arctic North Pole to explore some of their most tender-hearted and important questions.

Mama, Papa, and Grampa Bear, the ever-loving and wise guides for Little Cub's adventures, share with her the incredible miracles of God's creation and the depths of His love for her.

This limited-edition treasury of the best-selling God Gave Us series includes three complete charming tales--one of which is brand new to the series. With heart and humor, the stories reveal the beauty of diversity throughout the world, the incredible gift of love, and the wonderment of our heavenly home to come.

My Review

My children absolutely LOVED all 3 tales included in the Limited-Edition Three-Book Treasury. It is the hardback version which is always a plus and comes with an attached satin ribbon bookmark. An adorable tale of a polar bear family and the questions Little Cub has on God and the world, God and love & God and Heaven.

God Gave Us the World explains why God made everyone different in this world.

God Gave Us Love explains how the difference between like and love.

God Gave Us Heaven explains what heaven is like and what will be waiting for us.

This story definitely explains the unanswered questions in a way that the children are able to comprehend. Colorful photos keep the attention of the children along with easy to understand words in the story. It also introduces children to animals they may not know about; polar bears, panda bears, brown bears, penguins, otters, and more! I highly recommend this book especially with anyone who has a very deep love for God and his children :)

Saturday Blog Hopping!

These are the blogs I am following this Saturday:



Hop on over and meet new bloggers!

Lunch at the Royal Burger Joint :)

I took my 6 kids to the local Burger King a few days ago to enjoy some lunch and playtime in their indoor playground. As I was removing my kids shoes, I was going over their rules.









Guess I better be in a good mood or they are going to kick me out!!!















Well...this sign is just weird....











That didn't stop the kids from having a great time.









By leaving time, they were ready for home. I had one close to amoeba form...















...and one mad scientist!!
