Fish Sandwiches Troy Schmidt [The Delight of Receiving God's Promises] from NavPress

My thoughts:  I never knew you could get so much information from the stories of Jesus multiplying the fish and bread at the two feedings of thousands events recorded in the New Testament. The author breaks intellectual bread with readers in a light hearted, easy to read format.

You will chuckle a bit here and there as he brings out the makings of Fish Sandwiches when Jesus fed the folks on each side of the watery expanse. Different people and different times but the same idea of provision for those who need. As we are in need today for nourishment - physically, emotionally, spiritually, Jesus provides that nourishment for us as he did for them.

A terrific little book jammed full of treasures.

About the book: We all have this in common: We get hungry. Inevitably, we eventually notice something we lack, and we wonder how we’re going to get our needs met. And then sometimes we notice that someone else has already taken care of our needs. And then sometimes we notice that the One who is taking care of our needs is God.

This warm and down-to-earth book invites you to sit in on one of the most miraculous moments of human history, when one Man took a few fish and a couple of loaves of bread and fed an entire village. Meet the Jesus who dares you to ask Him to give you each day your daily bread, who makes promises and keeps them, and who does immeasurably more than you can ask or imagine on a regular basis.

Good Night Tales: A Family Treasury of Read-Aloud Stories by C. S. Fritz from NavPress an affiliate of Tyndale House Publishers

ISBN: 9781631465567
Hardcover $19.99
Ages 3 - 8 Years

My thoughts:  This is a lovely book with classic illustrations that are absolutely charming. The stories and illustrations combined to make this a cherished bedtime book for generations to come.

As the stories use Biblical themes and lessons but are told in a woodland setting with delightfully drawn animals as characters living their lives in kingdoms.

Parents can use the discussion leads for each of the stories that are in the section at the back of the book to engage their children in Biblical application of the situations in the stories.

This can lead to further discussion and reading of the actual associated texts from the Bible.

I am absolutely enthralled with the illustrations and see the author/illustrator C.S. Fritz as one to watch for future presentations.

I highly recommend this enticing book of Good Night Tales.
