"His heavenly kingdom."-2 Timothy 4:18
    
    Yonder city of the great King is a place of active service. Ransomed spirits serve Him day and night in His temple. They never cease to fulfil the good pleasure of their King. They always "rest," so far as ease and freedom from care is concerned; and never "rest," in the sense of indolence or inactivity. Jerusalem the golden is the place of communion with all the people of God. We shall sit with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in eternal fellowship. We shall hold high converse with the noble host of the elect, all reigning with Him who by His love and His potent arm has brought them safely home. We shall not sing solos, but in chorus shall we praise our King. Heaven is a place of victory realized. Whenever, Christian, thou hast achieved a victory over thy lusts-whenever after hard struggling, thou hast laid a temptation dead at thy feet-thou hast in that hour a foretaste of the joy that awaits thee when the Lord shall shortly tread Satan under thy feet, and thou shalt find thyself more than conqueror through Him who hath loved thee. Paradise is a place of security. When you enjoy the full assurance of faith, you have the pledge of that glorious security which shall be yours when you are a perfect citizen of the heavenly Jerusalem. O my sweet home, Jerusalem, thou happy harbour of my soul! Thanks, even now, to Him whose love hath taught me to long for Thee; but louder thanks in eternity, when I shall possess thee.
    
    "My soul has tasted of the grapes,
    And now it longs to go
    Where my dear Lord His vineyard keeps
    And all the clusters grow.
    
    "Upon the true and living vine,
    My famish'd soul would feast,
    And banquet on the fruit divine,
    An everlasting guest."

I Can Be Kind by Amie Carlson

Giveaway with this post read to the end to find out how to enter.


https://www.tyndale.com/p/i-can-be-kind/9781496415806

Scripture teaches us to love our neighbors by treating them with kindness and respect. One aspect of kindness includes manners. Parents are looking for fun, creative ways to teach their children polite behavior in a society where rudeness is often the status quo. We believe I Can Be Kind is a great resource for parents, grandparents, and Sunday school teachers as they seek to develop these behaviors in their children.

When I agreed to review this book,  I didn't realize it was a flip-flap book.  I was pleasantly surprised and delighted upon receiving the book.  Young children love flip books and this one is bound to delight them.  However, the pages are thin so wouldn't take much to rip the pages.  The message on each page is excellent and very well presented.  A Bible verse on every page to go along with the manner presented.  Manners are a good thing to teach young children and the Bible is the best book to use.  The illustrations are big, bright, and bold.  My copy will go in the classroom library for sure.


I have a copy of this book to giveaway to one of my readers.  Please leave a comment telling me who you'd share this book with.  Be sure to leave a way of contact.  I'll leave this giveaway open until Sat. July 30th.  Please open to US residents only thanks. 


A copy of this book was provided in exchange for my honest review by Tyndle House Publishing
