KJV Bibles by Holman #Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 6/30 #KJVBibleL3

Check out these three neat KJV Bibles available from Lifeway by Holman!

For over 400 years, the King James Version has been the trusted translation for millions of believers, capturing the majesty of God’s Word and shaping the worship of generations.

Since 1611, Christians have turned to the King James Version of the Bible for a faithful and beautiful rendering of God’s Word. Its rich tradition has guided generations of pastors, authors, and scholars, while its reverent language continues to shape our words today.

The KJV was translated in the beginning of the 1600s. The scholars translating it were among the top scholars of their day, and most were deeply familiar with literature and poetry as well as with theology and ancient languages. They were also intent on creating a translation that would last for generations, so they avoided recent changes to the language, often using words and phrases that sounded formal even then to ensure the dignity and longevity of the translation.







Enter for a chance to Win you're choice of ONE of the three bibles posted at the top of this page! Choose between the KJV Study Bible, the kid's One Big Story Bible, or the Holman KJV Ultrathin Reference Bible! Giveaway is open to all residents who live in All 50 U.S. States, 18 years of age or older. Giveaway ends on Tuesday 6/30/2021.

"Little Sap: The Magical Story of a Forest Family" - Children's Book Review!

 I love books, especially children's books! I love the illustrations and stories, and "Little Sap" does not disappoint! Little Sap wonders if she'll ever be tall enough and big enough to reach the sky and out of the shade so she can be in the sun. In the back of the book, it includes information for teachers and educators about Forest Families, Mother Trees, Saplings, Wonderous Trees, and Forest Whispers. You can purchase "Little Sap" online or at your local book retailer.

A young tree learns that growth is a beautifully slow process that requires the help of her underground friends in this tale celebrating the magic of forest families.

Little Sap can't wait to grow tall and strong and touch the sky. But growing takes time. With protection and wisdom from Mother Tree, the tallest and wisest in the grove, and a helping hand from her fungi friends, Little Sap inches slowly toward the light.

"In summer, the tall trees around her fill the sky with green. Little Sap reaches as high as she can.... but she is still swallowed up by the shade. Will she ever reach the light?"

In this sweet story of a young tree through the seasons, we discover a wonderous community where humble fungi and majestic trees support one another to form a forest family. Complete with backmatter detailing the science behind this symbiosis, this is a tale of the wonders of family and interconnectedness.

Jan Hughes is a longtime Bay Area editor and writer. This is her first, and hopefully not last, picture book. She lives with her husband and son in San Francisco and is passionate about all things trees.

Ruth Hengeveld is an illustrator and fine artist who lives in the Netherlands. She is an avid hiker, camper, and nature lover who spend time among the old-growth redwood forests of Northern California's Muir Woods in preparation for this book. She is the illustrator of "Oh, Near," also published by Cameron Kids.

"Queen Bees" Movie, in Theaters Today! #QueenBees


In Theaters Today!!!

My Review: I LOVE this movie! I'd watch it again for sure! It was very heartwarming, but all so true about what could happen to our parents, and eventually, to us as we get older. We could find ourselves alone, and doing things alone. I even feel that living in a community like this is best as we get older. As we can make friends, and possibly even find love again. I also enjoyed the mean girls concept. Some older people become mean and bitter just to guard their own hearts. They don't realize that they are pushing people away when they do this. I was cool to see Helen show Janet (Jane Curtain) that she's a good person and to lighten up and live, instead of being mean and bitter towards most other people. I give this movie 5 stars!

Synopsis: While her house undergoes repairs, fiercely independent senior Helen (Academy Award®-winner Ellen Burstyn) moves into a nearby retirement community ― just temporarily. Once behind the doors of Pine Grove Senior Community, she encounters lusty widows, cutthroat bridge tournaments and a hotbed of bullying “mean girls,” the likes of which she hasn’t encountered since high school, all of which leaves her yearning for the solitude of home. But somewhere between flower arranging and water aerobics Helen discovers that it’s never too late to make new friends and perhaps even find a new love.

Genres: Comedy

Rating: PG-13

Starring: Ellen Burstyn, James Caan, Ann-Margret, Jane Curtin, Christopher Lloyd, Loretta Devine, Elizabeth Mitchell, Matthew Barnes, French Stewart, Alec Mapa

Directed By: Michael Lembeck

Produced By: Harrison A. Powell, p.g.a., Dominique Telson, p.g.a., Fred Bernstein, p.g.a.

Executive Produced By: Rick Jackson and Claudine Marrotte

"Spirit Untamed" - Only In Theaters June 4th! Movie Review and FREE Printables! #SpiritUntamed #RWM #AD

















My Review and Thoughts:
My three children and I have have seen all of the Spirit animated series on Netflix and we've seen the first Spirit movie that was released back in 2002. This movie, "Spirit Untamed," is more based on the Netflix series. If you're a fan of the series, you and your children will LOVE this movie! 

If you haven't checked out the Spirit Series on Netflix, now's your chance (Spirit: Riding Free, Spirit: Pony Tales, Spirit: Riding Free, Riding Academy, and Spirit: Riding Free: Ride Along Adventure, Interactive)! Start with Spirit: Riding Free first! It's eight seasons long and oh so cute! I'd say, for children three and up. As an adult, I love it too!

About the movie, it's super cute, fun, adorable, and adventurous! It's rated G! It's a GREAT family movie and less than an hour and a half long. Take your kids or grandkids, and go see this movie!

SYNOPSIS:
An epic adventure about a headstrong girl longing for a place to belong who discovers a kindred spirit when her life intersects with a wild horse, Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in the beloved story from DreamWorks Animation.

Lucky Prescott (Isabela Merced, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) never really knew her late mother, Milagro Navarro (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), a fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the wide-open frontier.

Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her Aunt Cora (Academy Award® winner Julianne Moore) no small amount of worry. Lucky has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them both back with Lucky’s father, Jim (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal), in Miradero.

Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone (Mckenna Grace, Captain Marvel) and Pru Granger (Marsai Martin, Little). Pru’s father, stable owner Al Granger (Emmy winner Andre Braugher, Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine), is the best friend of Lucky’s father.

When a heartless horse wrangler (Emmy nominee Walton Goggins, FX’s Justified) and his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy and to her Mexican heritage that she never expected.

Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in DreamWorks Animation’s beloved franchise that began with the 2002 Oscar-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron and includes an Emmy-winning TV series. The film is directed by Elaine Bogan (Netflix and DreamWorks Animation Television’s Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) and is produced by Karen Foster (co-producer, How to Train Your Dragon). The film’s co-director is Ennio Torresan (head of story, The Boss Baby), and the film’s score is by composer Amie Doherty (Amazon’s Undone, DreamWorks Animation’s Marooned).

Genre: Animated Adventure
Cast: Isabela Merced, Julianne Moore, Jake Gyllenhaal, Marsai Martin, Mckenna Grace, Walton Goggins, Andre Braugher and Eiza González
