Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas Review & Giveaway

Disclosure:  We received a free copy of this book to facilitate our honest and unbiased review.  No other compensation was received.  All opinions stated are those of the Shelly's Bits and Pieces family.

Christmas is my favorite holiday and every year I look for new books to read with my children.  While books about Santa and elves can be cute, the books that I really prefer revolve around the birth of Jesus.  My family received Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas and we have loved the book!

About the book:
Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas uniquely teaches the Christmas story to your children by starting at creation and sharing that Jesus has always been present and that God has always had a plan for Christmas. Bible verses and Jesus Calling devotions are on every spread of this beautifully illustrated book with foil and glitter on the cover.

Teach your children the story of Christmas . . . starting from creation! In Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas, children will discover that God always had a plan for Christmas.

Christ was chosen before the world was made.

—1 Peter 1:20

The Christmas story began long, long ago. Before the angel Gabriel told Mary she would have God's Son. Before the shepherds saw the angels and before the wise men saw the star.

Even before the sun and the moon shone for the first time before the first cows ever mooed and the first monkeys ever climbed! Before Adam and Even took their first walk in the Garden of Eden, God had a plan for Christmas.

From the beginning of time, God had a plan to save his children. That plan was Jesus!

Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas is a beautifully embellished jacketed hardcover with foil and glitter. Curl up with your little ones around the Christmas tree with Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas.

I have always been involved in church.  It is hard not to be when your grandfather is a lay-minister, your mama plays the piano, sings and teaches, and your daddy is a minister.  Explaining the entire Nativity story is something I enjoy doing with my children.  The birth of Jesus is the foundation of my Christian belief.  This wonderful book, Jesus Calling®: The Story of Christmas, starts at the beginning, way back at the beginning of time.

My family wholeheartedly recommends this book.  It is a wonderful way to celebrate the story of Christmas, every day of the year.

Would you like to win a copy of your own?  Simply enter in the form!  Good Luck.  God Bless, and Merry CHRISTmas!

How To Effectively Save Money

Money can be so hard to save, but so easy to spend. And with life throwing a few curveballs you’re way, emergencies can end up being quite costly. So how can we effectively save money for the long-run? Here are a few tips that might work.

Sell Your Stuff

A lot of us tend to hoard over time, and we can actually hold onto some valuable things that we don’t need. Selling your stuff online is a great way of earning some money, every time you do a spring clean of the property. Sites like eBay are great, and there’s plenty of sites that will buy your old phones or tech gadgets. These can end up being a small fortune if they’re in good condition and still functioning. Some sites though will even buy your broken gadgets so it’s always worth checking, as it’s better off making a bit of money than ending up in your bin, right?

Make A Budget

A budget seems restricting, but if you didn’t have it, you’d probably spend a lot more money. The budget doesn’t have to be too small but if you can calculate how much you usually spend on food, bills and living costs, see how much you can cut it down to. Once you have a budget, challenge yourself to see how long you can sustain the budget. If you’re struggling, add a little more.

Budgeting shouldn’t have to make it harder to save; it should just be looking at what you’re already spending.


Choose Something To Save For

Sometimes having a goal to work towards helps motivate us and stops us from splurging when we really want to. If you have something in mind that you want to save towards, you’ll find yourself more determined to reach that goal. It might be saving for a new car or your first house. It might be buying a holiday or simply a meal out at your favorite restaurant. It is possible to save; you just have to want it enough.


Use Apps

There are now apps that help you save money, and they are a great way of tracking your spending habits. Apps like Mint monitors all of your finances in one place. You can create budgets, keep track of your credit score and even suggests ways of saving money in the process. It’s great to take advantage of all the latest technology available, especially if it’s helping us save money.


Sign Up To Loyalty Card

As long as they’re free, if there are any shops or companies you use regularly, enquire to see if they have a loyal scheme or card you can sign up to. Some places can offer great deals and discounts on products they sell so it’s definitely worth asking about as you can end up saving quite a lot through them.

The money will always come from somewhere, so don’t stress out too much. Using these money-saving tips will hopefully ease off the pressure and stop you from living paycheck to paycheck each month.
