MY REVIEW:
Gratitude: A Prayer and Praise Coloring Journal is a colorful little book with a hardboard cover. Inside the reader will find devotional sections that begin with a prayer and scripture then includes a section to record her thoughts. Almost every page has outlined images to color. Some areas already have touches of color added.
This little book would be perfect for the weeks approaching Thanksgiving. How appropriate it would be to spend some quiet time with the Lord to prepare your heart for the holiday season ahead. This sweet book would also make a nice gift for friends and family – perhaps even an older child or teen.
I have read and have been encouraged by the prayers and scriptures and hope to find more time to relax and color in the midst of my demanding review schedule.
A free copy of this book was provided for review by The Tyndale Blog Network. A favorable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.

MY REVIEW:
I wish I had read the novelization before I watched the DVD for “Old Fashioned”. The narrative really fleshed out the story better and it was easier to understand the viewpoints of both Clay and Amber and what really made them tick. The book itself was easy to read and contained content that was not included in the movie. In particular there were several quite amusing scenes that involved David’s significant other and their daughter. The “Old Fashioned” novel is both entertaining and educational and would be an excellent books for parents to share with their teens.
“The Old Fashioned Way” devotional is written in a manner that immediately caught my attention. Each chapter focuses on something from the movie and leads to a deeper examination of key elements that should help initiate discussion when used in a group setting or could help individuals to think more seriously about their own approach to courtship. Again, I highly recommend this book for teens and preteens.

ABOUT THE NOVEL:
Turning his back on his reckless lifestyle, former frat boy Clay Walsh has settled down to turn an antique shop in a small Midwestern college town….and to purse lofty and outdated theories on love and romance. But when Amber Hewson, a free-spirited woman with a gypsy soul, rents the apartment above his shop, Clay can’t help being attracted to her spontaneous and passionate embrace of life. Amber also finds herself surprisingly drawn to Clay, but his ideas about relationships are unusual to say the least, and they bring to light her own deep wounds and fears about love. They say opposites attract, but can Clay and Amber move beyond their differences and their pasts to attempt an “old fashioned” courtship?
ABOUT THE DEVOTIONAL:

In fact, a true old fashioned relationship can be more exciting and romantic than anything you’ve ever experienced! So what does it mean to do things the old fashioned way?

Regardless of your past mistakes, where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or where you are now, you can find and create a love that will last a lifetime! As you work your way through this forty-day journey of inspiring readings and questions for reflection, you’ll discover all the unique and amazing benefits of doing things the old fashioned way. And before you know it, you’ll be well on your way to creating a love story for the ages.
