Review of God's Promises for Girls by Jack Countryman & Amy Parker
Title: God's Promises for Girls
Author: Jack Countryman & Amy Parker with illustrations by Rachelle Miller

REVIEW: This is a charming, wonderful little book to read to little girls - or for big girls to read and remember God’s promises for them!
There are 60 topics so you could read one a day for two months and then start again if you wish. Each topic covers two pages. The section begins with four simple lines of poetry on the topic. That is followed by three or four scripture selections that fit the promises God gives to go with the topic. There is also a wonderful illustration for each topic.
The topics are good for girls of all ages. These are some sample titles: God's Promises When: You are worried; You need comfort. God's Promises About: Loving others; Praying for others. God's Promises of Help When: You don't feel important; Nothing is going right.
Here is an example of God Wants You To: Count your blessings.
The pages are glossy and smooth so they feel good to touch as well as see and read! This is a perfect little gift for a special girl in your family or for a friend. Mine is going to my granddaughter and her mother or brother can help to read it to her!
This is my first book from BookSneeze. This is a wonderful program offered by Thomans Nelson Publishers. You sign up and once approved you request a book and get it for free. After you turn in your review, you can request another book :) Simple and a great opportunity to review some very good books!
Thank you to Thomas Nelson, Inc., through Book Sneeze, for this book to review and share.

Product Description
An easy way to help young girls see God's promises and how they can rely on His love in their daily lives.
The promise verses in this book are selected from the best-selling International Children's Bible® to offer comfort and encouragement when a girl is feeling afraid, lonely, worried, angry, dissatisfied, discouraged, sad, rebellious, impatient, or sick . . . and when they need reassurance of God's protection, love, forgiveness, help . . . and that He listens when they pray. It's a great way for children to hide God's Word in their hearts.
Sample text: Monsters. Spiders. Being alone. Do any of these things make you feel afraid? When you start to feel fear, hold on tight to these words: God promises to take your fear away!
"So don't worry, because I am with you. Don't be afraid, because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you. I will support you with my right hand that saves you." Isaiah 41:10

PLEASE NOTE UPDATED RULES IN RED BELOW!
I am going to continue to include the full list updated with chosen books crossed off. You can still go to the Friday Pick list link to see each post and the book pictures if you want! I am happy to say that so far about 70 books have found new homes! YAY. I pulled a couple of hardbacks and larger books as the postage cost was prohibitive.
If you saw the pictures posted of my bookshelves and boxes you know I do have lots of books! And that doesn't include the other eight or so boxes at my office!! And more books as I find deals too good to pass up! I am sharing my book bounty by the Friday Pick Giveaways.
I originally posted ten Friday Pick posts with 16 books each. I will strike out the books as they are chosen. Some of the books may be chosen by winners in the SaSR weekly drawings. So it will be first pick to the one who claims it. SaSR winners are announced Friday mornings (or afternoon if I get busy!) and it usually takes that person a bit of time to get back to me. That means the Friday Pick winner who is drawn Thursday night will usually get the choice named in their comment as I will have time to remove it from the file list before announcing the winner at SaSR.
Because postage to overseas can be prohibitive I am willing to give a $5.00 book certificate to international winners - Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, TWRP, ClassAct Books, eTreasures, Desert Breeze, etc....you tell me where and I'll set it up. So for my overseas visitors your comment may indicate a smaller book and I'll check postage or note your choice of gift card.
TO ENTER:
Leave a comment and tell me WHICH BOOK you would like to get from the Friday Pick lists (less whichever books might be picked by the comment or SaSR winners each week). PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM SETTING A NEW CUT OFF TIME AS THURSDAY NIGHTS AT 10:00 PM CENTRAL so I do not have to stay up past midnight to do the winner post!
I will randomly pick two winners to announce the next Friday.
ALSO, TO SAVE ME EXTRA WORK, I WILL ASK THE WINNERS TO CHECK THE WIN POST ON FRIDAYS AND E-MAIL ME THEIR ADDRESSES at mesreads@gmail.com. I will confirm receipt of the addresses. If I have the winners e-mail I will send a reminder over the weekend but I won't be so rushed on Fridays! So I still recommend that you leave your e-mail especially if you are new and I don't have a way to find it!
Thanks for helping these books find a new home!!
Repeating this helpful blog tip: You can right click on a link and you will be given the choice to open the link in a new window or tab so you do not navigate away from the screen you are on!! I use this all the time!
