Reminding me that I am God's Little Princess

God's Little Princess Devotional Bible by Sheila Walsh is a great resource for parents to share with their princesses. Sheila Walsh created GiGi, the princess of the Greatest King. Many little girls, including my own, have grown to love her. She is the Christian version of Fancy Nancy - reinforcing the promises from the Bible of who we are in Him.

What a wonderful devotional for little girls! This book has 84 sections that are each color coded as the lessons change. Short enough for the younger princess but packed with a lot of activities such as Bible focused plays to act out for the older princess. Each section opens with a story from the bible and supporting activities on the next few pages to reinforce the lesson.

This book is suggested for ages 4-7 though I think even an 8 or 9 year old could have a lot of fun and even help mentor a younger sibling using this as a guide. I can just see a room full of girls giggling and playing, hiding the promises of God in their hearts, learning the truth in a fun interactive way.

If you have a little girl in your life this is a must have for their library!

The Gospel According to Lost by Chris Seay

The Gospel According to Lost by Chris Seay is a book using the television show Lost as a basis for paralleling the Gospel. At least according to the title I came to this conclusion. I watch Lost and was pretty confused by the early chapters and how they related to the Gospel. The chapters are broken out by characters of the show and how they represent Biblical characters or ideas. Some characters have pretty strong ties/parallels like Jacob and Jin but other parallels (or lack of parallels) add to the confusion I experienced in reading the book. Kate and Sawyer's chapters focus more on their outward appearance than any biblical parallels.

You most definitely have to have a good knowledge of Lost in order to read this book because characters are mentioned without any description to where they fit in the Lost story. This makes sense because the book would be huge if these things had to be explained but a few times names are dropped that made me stop and have to recollect who they were in the show.

I am not sure what I expected but I was not blown away with what I read. I definitely do not recommend this to anyone who has not watched Lost and am still hesitant to recommend it to anyone who has.
