The Book of Man

The Book of Man is a beautiful book with 546 pages of stories, letters, and poems of heroes. This story is filled with accounts from historical figures that have made an impact in the world. As a person who enjoys history, I enjoyed the vast amount of historical information and figures found throughout the book. Each account is written in its original context. I appreciate this since the historical figures have not been paraphrased or quoted. This book focuses on the character and morality of men. This book will be beneficial to me as a mother raising three sons. I want to raise my boys to become honorable men of God. I plan to incorporate this book into our home school curriculum. I think my children will really enjoy hearing all these stories and will gain so much. This book will be a part of our family library for many years to come. Highly recommend!
The book is divided into six categories
Man in War
Man at Work
Man in Play, Sports and Leisure
Man in the Polis
Man with Woman and Children
Man in Prayer and Reflection

Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible

I had the pleasure of reviewing the “Lucado Life Lessons Study Bible”. Max Lucado has done an amazing job with the devotionals presented in this book. Although, I would not consider this bible a study bible, the devotionals are inspiring and helpful to my daily life. The translation of this bible is easy to read and understand. The Life Lessons given throughout the bible were helpful, and gave me some things to consider in my life. The reading plan presented would give a reader a goal to accomplish reading the entire bible. The bible is durable, and the text is just the right size. This bible would make a wonderful addition to any household.
