New Growth Press Spirit of Giving Youth Package #Giveaway Week 1

Do you know any bookworms that would love some new reads this holiday season?  Books make a great gift for those members of the family who need a break from all the electronics in the house. 

We all need to unplug every once in a while, don't we?

Even if there aren’t kids in your own house, I’m sure you know some young people who would enjoy these books. Maybe you are a youth leader or teacher with young people on your Christmas list.

New Growth Press is jumping into the gift giving season by giving away THREE children’s book gift boxes (retail value of $125 each). All of their children’s books are beautifully illustrated, entertaining, teach a lesson, and most importantly, are biblically based!

From November 19-25, you can enter to win one of three children’s gift boxes. 

Each gift box includes five of New Growth Press’ new children’s releases and two of their best sellers:

·         GodCounts: Numbers in His Word and His World byIrene Sun

This playful children’s book serves as a beginner’s theology book for young readers who love numbers and patterns. By discovering numbers in God’s world and in his Word, parents help their children foster a deeper love and knowledge of who God is and how he counts them as his. With countable illustrations and an easy-to-learn structure, children who are always seeking, finding, tracing, and counting numbers will be captivated by God Counts.

·         Buster’sEars Trip Him Up: When You Fail edited byEdward T. Welch

·         Jax’sTail Twitches: When You are Angry edited byDavid Powlison

·         Zoe’sHiding Place: When You are Anxious edited byDavid Powlison

These three books are a part of the Good News for Little Hearts series. This is a new series of hardback, illustrated children’s books for three-to eight-year-olds—each centered on an animal family. The animal characters, colorful illustrations, and the real-life issues each animal family face will captivate children. The first three books address anxiety, anger, and failure, bringing biblical counsel and hope to issues every child faces. Together children and parents will be guided by the stories into meaningful conversations about living by faith in everyday life.

·         GodMade Me and You by Shai Linne

God Made Me and You invites kids to explore God’s design for ethnic diversity. Because Scripture teaches that ethnic diversity is not something that should be tolerated but rather enthusiastically embraced, Christian hip hop artist Shai Linne helps children, parents, and caregivers to celebrate this biblical truth through a lyrical, rhyming style and colorful illustrations.

·         GodMade All of Me by Justin and Lindsey Holcomb

God Made All of Me is an invaluable resource and beautifully illustrated story to help families talk about sensitive issues with two- to eight-year-old children. This helpful guide starts from the fundamental truth that God created everything and applies that truth to kids and their bodies. With the help of God Made All of Me, parents and caregivers can begin conversations with boys and girls about their bodies, navigating a discussion that can so easily be warped into confusion, embarrassment, and secrecy.

·         TheRadical Book for Kids: Exploring the Roots and Shoots of Faith by Champ Thornton

The Radical Book for Kids is a fun-filled explorer’s guide to the Bible, church history, and life for boys and girls ages eight and up. Vibrantly illustrated and chock-full of fun facts and ideas, this interactive book competes with screen time by stimulating children’s natural curiosity and sense of adventure! Along with the many fun and exciting stories of historical figures, young and old readers alike will learn about the roots of our faith and the importance of the gospel in our lives.

The Christmas Chronicles Comes to @Netflix Nov. 22nd #TheChristmasChronicles #ad #rwm #NetflixPartner

One of our favorite holiday traditions is watching Christmas movies all snuggled up on the couch.  We have many favorites that we watch over and over again.  The Christmas Chronicles, a new Christmas movie coming to Netflix Nov. 22nd, has been added to our favorite holiday movie list.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Review Wire Media for Netflix. 

The Christmas Chronicles is a wishful, hilarious, family festive adventure. This is our first live action family film with a well established director and big profile actor in Kurt Russell.

From producer Chris Columbus (“Home Alone”, "Harry Potter") and director Clay Kaytis ("The Angry Birds Movie"), The Christmas Chronicles, tells the story of sister and brother, Kate (Darby Camp) and Teddy Pierce (Judah Lewis), whose Christmas Eve plan to catch Santa Claus (Kurt Russell) on camera turns into an unexpected journey that most kids could only dream about. After staking out Santa’s arrival, they sneak into his sleigh, cause it to crash and nearly derail Christmas. As their wild night unfolds, Kate and Teddy work together with Santa - as you've never seen him before - and his loyal Elves to save Christmas before it's too late. The Christmas Chronicles premieres on Netflix, November 22, 2018!

I don't want to give any big spoilers here, but I will warn you, the film deals with the children's loss of a parent. If this is a sensitive topic for your kids, you may want to watch the film with them so they can process those feelings. {The holiday season is definitely a hard time to deal with the loss of a loved one!} While The Christmas Chronicles deals with loss, it also has some light hearted adventure. There are elves, reindeer, and all of the things you expect to see in a classic Christmas movie. I've been a fan of Kurt Russell ever since I was a kid. I loved seeing him in the role of Santa Claus! He was lovable, funny, and a fresh take on Santa's perspective at Christmas. Definitely a "hip" Santa.

There is a little bit of language in the movie, if you have young children. Other than that, there is nothing scary or inappropriate for little ones. It kept my four year old's attention the whole time!

We really enjoyed The Christmas Chronicles, and think your family will too.  

Thanks to Netflix for sending us a fun gift box with some cozy Christmas socks and a light-up ornament to enjoy the film together and put us in the holiday spirit!

Poldark Season 4 Now Avail on Blu-ray @masterpiecePBS @poldarkTV #Sponsored #PoldarkPBS #HolidayGiftGuide

Thank you to PBS Masterpiece for a copy of Poldark Season 4 for review.  This post contains affiliate links and all opinions are that of a Poldark fan.

It's no secret that I am a long-time fan of the PBS Masterpiece series Poldark.  I am so excited to binge-watch Poldark Season 4 now available on blu-ray to keep me occupied until season 5 {the FINAL season, which makes me sad}!

With the country gripped by political uncertainty and fresh elections, Ross Poldark (Aidan Turner) seeks to challenge George Warleggan's stranglehold over Cornwall while also repairing his marriage with Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson). Hugh Armitage remains in love with Demelza and is hopeful for more. Dr. Dwight Enys and Caroline plan to start a family while Elizabeth seeks another child to secure her own marriage to an ever-suspicious George. Meanwhile, Morwenna desperately tries to protect herself from Osborne's advances by threatening their son, and a heartbroken Drake is encouraged by his brother Sam to find new love.

Not sure what Poldark is all about?  Let me clue you in.  If you're a fan of high quality period dramas, this is one you do NOT want to miss.

Masterpiece on PBS, Aidan Turner, POLDARK

PBS Masterpiece's series Poldark is based upon the popular book series by Winston Graham.  It follows the story of Ross Poldark {Aidan Turner}, a British Army officer who returns home to Cornwall after the American Revolution.  He finds that his fiancé, Elizabeth{Heida Reed}, thought he was dead, and is engaged to his cousin Frances.  Thus begins a whole host of drama, as Ross is still in love with Elizabeth.  Ross' obsession for Elizabeth affects his life in many ways, including his marriage to Demelza {Eleanor Tomlinson}.  I will not say much more so that I don't give any spoilers if you haven't caught up on Season 1 and 2.

There are many layers to Ross' story, and each layer reveals more about his character.  Sometimes you cheer for him, and other times you get angry with him.  But it's such a beautifully woven tapestry that you can't stop watching it unfold.  With the gorgeous views of Cornwall, beautiful costumes, superb {and not bad looking either} actors, and gritty true-life contrast between rich and poor during the 18th century, this is my absolute favorite series since Downton Abbey ended!

In Season 4, Ross and Demelza are working on repairing their marriage.   Ross takes on a different role than we have seen him before; he gets involved in politics.  George Warleggan is still bent on destroying Ross {what's new?}.

Masterpiece PBS POLDARK

Dwight and Caroline go through some very sad, very serious family issues.  You will need tissues, and lots of them.

PBS Masterpiece, POLDARK

Drake and Morwenna continue to go through some serious problems as well.  Morwenna's husband is a monster.  Drake is encouraged by his sister to find another love.  There are so many barriers to their relationship; will either of them ever be happy?  





I absolutely loved this season and can't wait until Season 5!

Put some Poldark under the tree or in her stocking this holiday season.  It makes the perfect gift!

Where to Buy:

Poldark Season 4 is available on Shop PBS website and Amazon.com
