Candle Bible Handbook Review (Kregel Blog Tours)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon affiliate links.


I read Candle Bible Handbook in exchange for honest review from Kregel Blog Tours. The book was written by Terry Jean Day and Carol J. Smith. The book was also published by Candle Books.

The bible handbook contains facts, timelines, maps, and photographs of the bible and biblical landmarks.

I wanted to review the book to learn more about the bible. The first thing, which stood out was the illustration of how the bible is organized. Each book of the bible is also a chapter. The bible books sections have frequently asked questions, an outline, maps, and study questions with biblical references.

The book is a good reference book for beginning biblical scholars or anyone, who wants to learn more about the people and places in the bible.

99 stories from the bible (Kregel Blog Tours)

This post contains Amazon Affiliate links.

I read 99 Stories from the Bible, in exchange for honest review from Kregel Blog Tours. The book was published by Candle Books.The book was written by Juliet David and illustrated by Elina Ellis.

I wanted to review the book for my sons and great niece. Every now and then, I choose a book, which would be perfect for them, versus me. Nothing is more perfect than a book of bible stories.


The stories in the book are one to two pages each. The stories are presented in a simple manner. Each page also does not contain too many words. Just enough to read for a few minutes. If your kids are still attentive, you can read another one.

Next, the graphics in the book is excellent. Ellis did an excellent job illustrating the stories.

Third, 99 stories starts with The Creation and ends with the future return of Christ. The book also discusses the crucifixion without being too graphic. Jesus was sent to die. Nothing more, nothing less. Two pages later, Jesus died. 1 page later, Jesus was buried. At the end, Jesus will return one day.

Finally, the book is padded,which means my youngest can't rip the cover off.

The book is a great read. It is available on Amazon in hardcover only. The book is prime eligible.

Bumper wipe clean activities (Kregel Blog Tours)

I reviewed Bumper Wipe Clean Activities , in exchange for review from Kregel Blog Tours. This post contains affiliate images and links from Amazon.  The book was written by Juliet David and illustrated by Marie Allen. The book was published by Candle Books. Bumper Wipe Clean activities is an Christian activity book, which kids can use in the car. Every page can be used with dry-erase markers or crayons.





The activities include:

• Connect the dots
• Spot the mistakes
• Matching pairs
• Hidden Objects
• Drawing
• Mazes
• Tracing numbers

Each page also represents a story in the bible, such as an Angel is telling Mary she will have a baby and then your child can trace over the words, Angel. Another puzzle is a maze, where Jesus is taking a ride through Jerusalem and needs to know the right path to take. 

The book provides endless fun. When your kids are through with an activity, they can wipe it clean and start over. My kids, nieces, and nephews loved the book. The book is available on Amazon for 9.78 and is prime eligible.
