Review: Five Little Dumplings - The Real Easter Story

Five Little Dumplings: The Real Easter Story book cover on blue background

I was so excited to learn about Five Little Dumplings: The Real Easter Story by Kelsey Chen, a new-to-me Chinese Christian author, just in time for Easter. Thank you, Liwen Y. Ho, for introducing me to the Five Little Dumplings! It's such a treat to read children's books again and to recall all that I learnt from my library days about what goes into a well-written book for younger readers. This book definitely checks those boxes 😊

Book Thoughts

What an engaging and helpful book for children to better learn about Jesus and Easter! This interactive book presents different skill-building activities for children to keep their attention, such as identifying colours, numbers, and patterns. The rhymes are simple, the illustrations are eye-catching, and the story is delightful in this educational book. The Bible verses included make Scripture more familiar, especially when paired with corresponding images. The dumplings are an adorable way for little readers to celebrate Easter. This is a book that is eminently re-readable as it can help with Scripture memorization, making the Little Dumplings a series to keep an eye out for as they go on various adventures.

Review: Breath of the Almighty

I've had the pleasure of revisiting my love of poetry through reading poignant and touching collections of Christian poetry that I've been introduced to on Instagram. I'm grateful that Breath of the Almighty by Shay McNally came at just the right time for me, tugging on my heart and my mind through verses that point back to God in every breath and poem. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Content to be aware of : SA Book Synopsis Breath of the Almighty is a debut collection of free verse, confessional Christian poetry born from a life that's seen both deep wounds and deeper mercy. These poems move through topics such as family, grief, soul searching, healing, love, marriage, calling, spiritual warfare, prayer, forgiveness, and the ordinary places where Christ shows up when we least expect it. Each poem is rooted in Scripture and lived-in faith, and grounds lofty theology to an eve...

Review: What Is Left of the Night

I'm very grateful to be able to read my first fiction book by Mark Buchanan , a Canadian author who has written extensively on Christian non-fiction topics. What Is Left of the Night is an ambitious feat, combining multiple points-of-view to deliver a story that is as suspenseful as it is thoughtful. Discourse and action carefully balance each other, keeping rapt attention on a book based on true events during the Second World War. Many thanks to  Kregel Publications  for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Hello Again

  Wow, this is the longest I've been away from blogging, so thank you for taking the time to check out old posts and reviews instead! It hasn't been fun being sick, especially when I didn't even have the energy to read anything for the first part of my illness. I'm slowly on the mend and hope to change my reading stats for the remainder of the month. In case I haven't expressed it on here, I am deeply grateful to you for reading my little musings and different Christian book reviews. Although I haven't had the energy to even think about posting reviews, I have missed them, so stay tuned for the ones coming up! I wish you a very happy start to the summer if you're in the northern hemisphere and a very happy start to the winter if you're in the southern hemisphere 🌞❄
