God Loves Daddy and Me | FLF and Book Review

Published on by Amanda Tero12 Comments
Happy Friday!! Today the book I’m featuring for First Line Fridays is a book I received to review… and it’s another adorable one. 🙂 Last month, I had gotten God Loves Mommy and Me and when I saw this one by the same author, I couldn’t pass it up. 😉 These are sweet little books that would make the perfect gift for parents.
“God loves Daddy and me in lots of special ways. His love is with us when we go on big-adventure days.”
(God Loves Daddy and Me by Bonnie Rickner Jensen, Illustrated by Laura Watkins)
My review:
Another adorable children’s book by Bonnie Rickner Jensen and Laura Watkins. It is written very similarly to [book:God Loves Mommy and Me|30649482]–cute illustrations and a fun exploration of the many different times and ways in which God loves “Daddy and me,” using many traditional family play-times (like building forts, taking walks, doing chores). I really appreciate the concepts portrayed in this book about God hearing our prayers, forgiveness making love strong, and God’s ever-present, unconditional love. This is definitely a children’s book I endorse.
*I received this book from BookLook Bloggers and happily provided my review*

I’m veering from favorite authors today and just doing a favorite book. I’ve read a few of Tracie Peterson’s books, but I didn’t like most of them near as much as this one.

Far-off screams filled the air and rattled six-year-old Jimmy Colton’s bones.
Mama?

You’ve got to like at least a little suspense to enjoy this novel. Just saying. My review is here for those interest.

Let innocence be your mask.
(from Ring of Secrets by Roseanna M. White)
I have never, ever read such an amusing character such as Winter in Ring of Secrets. She wears her mask beautifully — and in such a way that makes me laugh out loud. But that’s all I’m gonna say. 😉 You may read my review here.

What’s your first line this week?

*rubs hands together* Now for my current top favorite author! I’m featuring the first book of hers that I read. Since then, I’ve read four others. 😉 She knows how to write an excellent book!

Temptation sat before her, compelling as the sea. Gleaming silver, green leather, the nearly silent rumble of the engine…
(from The Lose Heiress by Roseanna M. White)

“Damaris! Damaris!”
Damaris Withers shrank back against the hard boards of the attic wall that supported her back.
(From A Woman Named Damaris by Janette Oke)
It has been a couple of years since I’ve read Janette Oke, but when I last read her, I admired her writing greatly–the way she so accurately depicted real life. And A Woman Named Damaris was one of my absolute favorites.

For the month of March, I think I’m going to do first lines by my favorite authors. 🙂 I’ll start with one of my newer top-ten favorite authors: Kim Vogel Sawyer. I have read three of her books, and this last one I read is my favorite so far!
“Hey, Theo, didja hear the news?”
From “Grace and the Preacher” by Kim Vogel Sawyer
To find out what Red is talking about, you just have to read the book I suppose.
See my review for it here.

I’m starting yet another new thing on my blog! 🙂 I noticed one of the blogs I followed had this “First Line Fridays.” You know me and books. If it has to do with books I like, I’m in. 😉 The group has cheerfully added me and I’m excited to start joining in the fun!
So… my first day. I have to acknowledge what is probably my favorite first-line of all…

Makes me smile every time.

What is one of your favorite first lines?
