Just In Case You Ever Wonder By Max Lucado Published by Thomas Nelson I was so excited to see Just In Case You Ever Wonder in the list of books available for review through BookSneeze from Thomas Nelson Publishers. I have been reading this book to my now nine-year-old boys and five-year-old daughter since they were small. As all my children are adopted and have their own unique stories, I have enjoyed adapting the storyline to fit their specific circumstances as I read it to them.

Smack-Dab in the Middle of God’s Love
Smack-Dab in the Middle of God’s Love By Brennan Manning & John Blase Published by Thomas Nelson Misses the mark. Smack-Dab in the Middle of God’s Love is a simple little book geared toward younger children. Not too complicated for little ones to understand. Not too long for their attention span. Repetitive text captures their attention and involves them in the story as they begin to recognize the bold-font phrase “smack-dab in the middle”. Unfortunately, Smack-Dab in the Middle of God’s Love misses the mark.
