Bible and Breakfast:31 Mornings With Jesus by Asheritah Ciuciu


There is a little circle in the upper left corner of the cover of Bible and Breakfast by Asheritah Ciuciu that says, "Feeding our bodies and souls together." I love that idea--of starting my days with Jesus and a healthy breakfast. Some days may not go as planned but this could be the goal for 31 mornings anyway.

Bible and Breakfast is a beautiful book all the way around. The colorful pictures of healthy food dishes on the cover and throughout the book inspire me to eat healthfully and to spend time with both my family and our Bibles as we do so. This book starts out with an introduction to both the Bible reading plan and the recipes. There is also a section with frequently asked questions/answers in the beginning. Ciuciu addresses people of all ages that may be using this book and offers ideas on how to get the most out of it. She also offers ideas on how to get the most nourishment for your body from the recipes. Each devotional includes a "snack on the go" with a shorter section of questions and study for days you are busy and needing something quick. Then there are "Feast" Bible study prompts for when you have time to dig deeper. Every recipe includes a full color photo. There are also recipes that especially appeal to children, some that can be made ahead and frozen for busy days, as well as some gluten free options. You also don't have to guess which recipes fit those categories--it is clearly marked at the top of the recipe if it is gluten free, freezer friendly or kid friendly.

Bible and Breakfast just couldn't be made much better in my opinion. I like the full-color pictures of all of the recipes and that the recipes are easy to follow with standard ingredients. I like the flexibility of the Bible study options for each day. I like that there is space to write out answers and to respond if you wish to do so in the book--although I like to write my answers in a separate notebook. There is a ribbon marker to keep your spot--whether you want to mark the recipe you wish to make the next morning or keep your spot to continue on in the Bible study. Bible and Breakfast would make a wonderful Christmas gift for a young mom--or an older mom. I also liked her idea she shares in the book encouraging those who have empty nests to come alongside a younger mom and do the study together. That might be especially nice for families that live close or for neighbors nearby.All in All Bible and Breakfast is both beautiful and practical to use.

I received this book from Moody Publishers. All opinions in this review are my own.

Loyally Luke by Pepper Basham

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader. I enjoy older people so I especially liked The Shippers in this book. I also was rooting for Lacey and Jonathan. I enjoyed getting to know the ship crew as well as the other characters. There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
