Book Description:
Part of a new brand in the Zondervan family, The Plans I Have for YOU! is an illustrated 90-day devotional written by bestselling children’s book author Amy Parker and illustrated by Vanessa Brantley Newton, teaching and inspiring kids to dream about their future, to focus on faith, love and joy and recognize that God has a plan and purpose for each and every one of us.
Journal Description:
Part of a new brand in the Zondervan family, The Plans I Have for You journal prompts creative thinking and exploration of the talents and personalities that make us special, and then helps explore how God may use our unique traits to spread love and joy and make the world a better place.
The Plans I Have for You is a great way to teach your 8-12 year old that God cares deeply about you and every aspect of your life. Drawing from Biblical examples, the devotional reminds that God is faithful and He has a wonderful plan for you. Although I felt the devotional was geared toward the younger age, my 12 year old was very drawn to the journal.
Both products are visually stimulated and complement each other well. My daughter loves diary type books so for her, the journal was the bigger draw. However, I went deeper with the devotional and once she knew even more of the stories, she was impressed with the level of faith people took in the Bible when they didn’t know how it would end. I was interested in the message and visuals as well.
I highly recommend The Plans I Have for You. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
I believe it was the 2013 5 Minutes For Mom Ultimate Blog Party where I first came across the site Missional Women. They offer so much that I signed up to receive their weekly updates. That arrives in my inbox each Friday, and I save it because it is one of the few emails I…
Spies & Sweethearts: The Story Behind the Story By Linda Shenton Matchett One of my favorite aspects of being associated with the Wright Museum is the opportunity to meet men and women who lived during World War II. I love our displays, and I’ve learned a lot about the famous and infamous, but there is…
Losing More Than the Weight with God’s Plan By Sue A. Fairchild Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17 NIV) I’ve always…
I love to lead the John and Stasi Eldredge study Captivating for women. One of the trademarks created in girls is to long to hear they are lovely. To swoon over a romance while twirling their skirts. And every time I teach it, the ladies sigh with me as we remember our favorite books and…
Julie’s Review: Linda Hoover and I have critiqued each other’s work for years. I look forward to hearing she has something new because I love reading a good historical, and Linda Hoover delivers. It’s not easy to write that genre, but she makes it look easy. Heart of Grace is a beautiful historical that is…
Each year I try to spotlight this important and still misunderstood issue that cripples women and marriages emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. I’ve shared my polycystic ovarian syndrome story (I had to have 1/2 of each ovary removed just to function, forget fertility at that time, they were FIVE times the size of normal,) my…
