A fun and exciting way to hear the New Testament

I am so thankful to have the Word of Promise Next Generation New Testament MP3 Set. My favorite new way to read the bible is to listen to it on my mp3 player. Now I can carry the bible with me in the car, in bed, or anywhere else for that matter. This 3 CD set is contains 23 hours of mp3 recordings with teen stars such as Alyson Stoner, Corbin Bleu, Emily Osment, Cody Linley, and Jordin Sparks.

In the enclosed leaflet, there is a plan they give you to listen to the entire New Testament in 40 days. I've listened to the first half a few times already and have learned so much because this is not nearly as complicated as reading the New Testament.

If you don't have an mp3 player, this will also play on your computer as well as many home DVD and CD players (if it supports mp3 format).

My brother and I are always short on time, and now that we have the New Testament on mp3 we can listen while we eat breakfast, do chores, or even ride in the car.

The Tutu Ballet by Sally Lee

The Tutu Ballet is a short picture book the celebrates the diversity of talents, sizes, and colors through the use of forest animals. The author directly uses the diversity of the young animals talents to show that everyone is special in their own way and by doing your best at what you're good at you can be a part of a whole.

None of the animals are good at doing every ballet move, but some can jump better, some can twirl better, and others can kick better. More subtle, the animals vary in color, size, and gender.

This would be an excellent introductory story about diversity for young children if you are looking for a story to spark a conversation about how we can be different but still wonderful.

The Dragonfly Secret by Clea & John Adams

The Dragonfly Secret is about a little boy who dies young but is very much alive in the afterlife. He reaches out to his parents through a Dragonfly he has befriended. His grandparents, also living in the afterlife, join him in helping to reach out to the grieving parents.

This book is very touching and sweet, and can provide reassurance to parents who have lost a child that they will see their child again.

Although this books message will appeal most to adults, children will also enjoy the vivid pictures and simple story.

The Wisdom of Solomon

The Wisdom of Solomon is an adorable book set in Amish country. Little Solomon learns practical lessons at home and on the farm. Verses from Proverbs introduce the lesson of each story.

Each short story takes only around 5-7 minutes to read, making this an ideal bedtime story book for young children. The cute illustrations will also help to keep your child's attention.

At over 250 pages, children 2-8 should enjoy this book for a long time.

Cam Jansen and the Scary Snake Mystery

In the book Cam Jansen and the Scary Snake Mystery, Cam Jansen went out with her Mom down the street. Soon they heard a man cry “Help”! A snake was there. He shouted, “Out, everyone”! After that a man dropped a sandwich, another man had a big load in his hands, Cam walked to the man and helped him because his load was about to fall. The man said, “Thank you!”. It said in the book that Cam’s real name is Jennifer Jansen. Do you know why they called her Jennifer Jansen? When they found out about Cam’s amazing memory they called her camera. Only Cam’s Mom called her Jennifer Jansen, so to call her Cam is the short way to call her Jennifer Jansen. The snake went away. At the end Cam said “Click!” like a camera. There is a kid in my class named Christian. I would say he might like it and that is the end of it.
I liked this book. I give it 5 meows!
