The Baby Bible Christmas Storybook by Robin Currie isn’t very long, 15 scripture passages of one or two verses, with simple words and actions that describe the birth of Jesus.  Perfect for little ones attention spans .

It begins with Mary’s being told by the angel that she would be the mother of Jesus and Joseph’s earthly father role, and their journey to Bethlehem.  Then it goes on to the shepherds and the wise men.  Incidentally I really liked that they have the wise men going to Jesus’ house and not the stable.

From the Back Cover:

You’re on the path to becoming a God Girl.
Here’s a daily map to guide each step.

The God Girl is always on a journey to becoming the woman God created her to be.  That means that every day, the God Girl needs time with her Creator to reflect on where she’s been, where she’s at, and where she’s going.

Devotions for the God Girl is your daily guide to choosing God’s way in every area of your life – from your thoughts and actions to your friends and faith.  Each day of the year you’ll hear from God through his Word.  Plus you’ll read a brief reflection from Hayley DiMarco that unpacks spiritual truths about becoming a woman of God.

You’re already on your way.

What do you get the person that has everything?  Or perhaps you have a person on your list that you would like to honor, but vehemently tells you they don’t want a gift.  Those are just the type of people that are perfect to give Gifts That Give Back.  The World Vision Gift Catalog allows you to honor your recipient but also to share the true spirit of Christmas with a child in need!

The catalog offers more than 100 poverty-fighting gifts starting at $16, that can be purchased in anyone’s name.  Each of the 35 pages in the catalog overflows with gifts, stories and inspiring photos.

miYim – Charming Eco-Plush Toys

As a little girl, my favorite stories were the ones that had fairies.  Maybe that’s why my favorite characters in movies and theme parks today are still fairies!  My love of fantasy worlds was passed on to my daughter, and she was drawn to characters and toys like that too.  I was planning on bringing this whimsical doll to our church nursery, but my 14 year old, claimed it as her own before I was able to!

Toys don’t need to have bells and whistles for children to think it’s a winner.  The My Natural Good Earth Fairy is a natural cotton rag doll, coming in a perfectly packaged reusable recycled cardboard gift box.

Andrew Marlow, a psychiatrist, has a perfectly ordered life–solitary, perhaps, but full of devotion to his profession and the painting hobby he loves. This order is destroyed when the renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes Marlow’s patient.

When Oliver refuses to talk or cooperate, Marlow finds himself going beyond his own legal and ethical boundaries to understand the secret that torments this silent genius, a journey that will lead him into the lives of the women closest to Robert Oliver and toward a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism.
