I have been lucky enough to be given some sweet little books to review and share with you and some web site passes!
The book is called A Little Bit of Faith, by Cindy Kenney
Published by Precious Moments, Inc.
This book represents a new idea from the
Precious Moments people.
In conjunction with this book set they have a website for girls
called The Precious Girls Club.
The books and the website together both endeavour to provide wholesome resources that have
been prepared just for girls. The website has
fun things to do, games to play and new things to learn.
A Little Bit of Faith
is about Katie Bennett.
Katie Bennett is new in town...and just can’t seem
to make friends. But she does have one very angelic best friend --
Faith. The problem is, no one else can see her! When Katie’s mom and
aunt suggest that she start the Precious Girls Club,
Katie needs a little bit of faith to believe in herself. Will she be
able to convince the girls at her school to attend? Maybe if she puts
up bright posters...makes pretty friendship bracelets...or lets it slip
(oops!) that she has her very own guardian angel...Find out how Katie
discovers that a little bit of faith can help her overcome big
challenges. A Little Bit of Faith is the first book in a new series
that celebrates the special gifts that make each girl precious "in His
sight."
Sample of Chapter 1: Squished!
Do you ever
wonder why you were born in Topeka, Kansas—Omaha, Nebraska—Flagstaff,
Arizona—or wherever it is that you came from? Or maybe you wonder
why you were born on the very day—at the exact hour, minute and
second that you came into the world.
I sure have.
In fact, I wonder why God gave me the parents He did—and the
job my Daddy has—and why the winters here are so cold and windy! To be
honest, I wonder about a whole bunch of things—especially since we
moved to a little town called Shine, Wisconsin, this past summer. I
wonder about that stuff all the time . . . or what it would be like if
things were different. But they aren’t.
I was super happy to hear that we were going to live in the
same town as my favorite aunt—Aunt Ella. She’s my Mom’s sister and
the nicest, kindest, most creative person and the best cook
I’ve ever met. She always says that she takes “quite a shinin’ ”
to me, too.
The truth is that
my whole life has been topsy-turvy ever since we moved to Shine.
It’s not just my house and neighborhood that changed. I got a brand-new
school with new teachers that do things new ways. And the kids in
Shine—well, we didn’t take a “shinin’ ” to each other one little bit.
Do you
know how terrible that can be for a little girl?
You may have heard about the brand new Precious Moments®
club for girls. We are thrilled to introduce this new program -- A
special world of joy and goodness created just for precious little
girls! More than a club, it’s a way of thinking and being, a safe place
for young girls to discover how wonderful it is to be precious. It’s
called the Precious Girls Club™ and as a valued supporter of the Precious Moments brand, we’d like to give you an exclusive sneak peek!
The
Precious Girls Club is based on an all new book series for girls aged 4
- 10 that revolves around the life of Katie Bennett and a diverse group
of her friends. Through the experiences of Katie and her friends,
wholesome values are reinforced in a fun and engaging way. Their world
is brought to life not only through books, but also through a
state-of-the-art virtual world, and exciting new products such as
figurines and charm bracelets.
