He Calls Me Daughter (Review and Giveaway!)

 

Hello Beautiful People,

Bubblingwithleganceandgrace.com had the opportunity to review a new faith-based documentary streaming now on Angel. He Calls Me  Daughter is a deeply personal and emotionally powerful film that explores what it means to carry a father wound and what it takes to heal from it. We all want the love of our earthly father. When that love is not being received, we can reach out to our heavenly Father, who is always with us, no matter what we face in life. 

How is your relationship with your earthly father?

Through raw storytelling and spiritual insight, the documentary reveals how unmet needs from an earthly father can shape identity, relationships, and self-worth. However, it also offers a path forward. One rooted in the love of a Heavenly Father who restores, redeems, and redefines what it means to be a daughter. 

This is not just a story about pain. It is a story about healing, forgiveness, and identity.”

Please watch the trailer below.

She Reads Truth Bible (Review and Giveaway!)

Hello Beautiful People,

Is it feeling more like summer than spring where you live? For us, we went right from winter into summer with temps reaching into the upper 80s and low 90s. It’s just now starting to feel like it’s spring, and we are welcoming the cool afternoon breezes with a chance to sit outside and watch the puppies play in the backyard.

Sitting outside, thinking, just like tulips bloom in the spring, we want to continue to bloom and grow in the Word of God. Our team recently had the opportunity to preview the She Reads Truth Hardcover Bound Study Note-taking Study Christian Standard Bible New Testament so that we would give our heartfelt, honest opinion.

The Bible’s unique format features spiral binding with space on the outer margins to take notes to allow you to take a deep dive into your reading. The entire Bible is divided into five separate volumes. The Old Testament has four volumes, while the New Testament (which we received for the review) is in one volume. The Bible’s editors are Raechel Meyers and Amanda Bible Williams, and the publisher is Amy McLean, of Holman Bibles of Brentwood, Tennessee. The way each page turns on the spiral makes me feel ready to learn and grow in God’s Word every day.

Have you wanted to go deeper in God’s Word?

You hear from God by reading His Word.

“The instruction of the Lord is perfect, renewing one’s life; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise.” (Psalm 19:7)

Editors Meyers and Williams want women to read the Bible every day and believe this is a good way to do so. On the She Reads Truth website, they have two plans:

Enduring Word Study Bible (Review and Giveaway!)

Hello, My Beautiful People,

One of my goals is to develop a deeper relationship with my Lord and Savior. How do you develop that relationship? The answer is through God’s Word. You get to know Him through that daily connection with His Word.

“God wants you to know, understand, and apply His Word. But sometimes you need help making sense of a tricky passage or knowing what it means to live in light of the Bible’s teaching.”

I want to understand God’s Word, not just read it to check a box off my list.

I had the opportunity to preview the new Enduring Word Study Bible, authored by David Guzik and published by Thomas Nelson. The Enduring Bible draws you in to want to study more and more and more.” “The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever” (1 Peter 1:24-25).

Key Features of the Enduring Word Study Bible
– Each book of the Bible has a detailed Introduction that delves deeper into its key themes.
– Study notes for every chapter allow you to explore the true meaning of the Scripture.
– 400 application notes and 50 articles show you how to live in light of God’s Word with deeper exploration into the Word.
– More than 200 word studies found in the Concordance.
– translator’s notes and cross references to easily understand the true meaning of the Scripture.
– A clear and readable 9.5-point NKJV Comfort Print.

Purchase It Now!
If you want to go deeper in your walk with Christ, I found the Enduring Word Study Bible as an ideal place to begin that journey. The introductions to each book provide you with a starting point for what to look for. The corresponding study notes for the verses give the necessary context for the story being told or the message being delivered. I have found some study notes in other Bibles to be overwhelming and challenging to understand. These study notes are clear, concise, and enhance your knowledge of the scriptures.
The Bible is listed at $59.99, but it’s on sale on Amazon with this LINK.

Peace of God Bible Giveaway

Hello Beautiful People,

We need peace!

 I think everyone you talk to says they need peace in this world. Whether it is civil unrest, political debates, or financial worries, people are afraid. If they do not have the Lord, they have nowhere to turn to. Breakpoint Colson Center said that Bible reading has declined by 61%, and only 22% American adults read the Bible outside of religious services. To have peace in our lives, we need the hope found in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I recently had the opportunity to preview the new Peace of God Bible: Discover and Experience God’s Shalom Throughout The Bible, by Jeremiah Johnston, Ph.D. This amazing Bible, published by Thomas Nelson, is available in the New King James Version. The Bible I received is brown leather, red-letter comfort print, soft, aesthetically beautiful, and pliable in my hands, and it also comes in a variety of cover options.

Features
– An introduction for each book of the Bible and how PEACE can be found in that book.
– 365 devotionals based on a key verse or passage to guide you in how to receive and live by God’s peace. That is one for every day of the year.
– 365 peace notes offering short, powerful insights to help you understand more deeply the wholeness you have in Christ. When we are short on time, this is an easy way to seek out peace for that day.
– Topical indexes to help you study on your own how God’s peace can shape different relationships in your life.
– Articles explore what the peace of God is, how to find or recover it, and how to experience eternal salvation because of what God has done for you
– Concise concordance and index of features

Peace of God Bible: Discover and Experience God’s Shalom Throughout The Bible is available on Christianbooks.

There is a section called Peace Notes that gives great encouragement for peace inside.

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”John 14:27 (NKJV)

The Peace of God Bible: Discover and Experience God’s Shalom Throughout The Bible invites you to experience peace with God as you trace this vital theme throughout Scripture. By meditating on it daily as you read 365 devotions and application notes, you will find the encouragement you need to live out of the wholeness you have in Christ and be equipped to share that peace with others.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 (NKJV)

I look forward to continuing to use the Peace of God Bible: Discover and Experience God’s Shalom Throughout The Bible as a resource in my growth in God’s Word. The more I build my faith and meditate on the peace scriptures, the better equipped I will be to fight the forces that try to steal my peace.

Giveaway:
In conjunction with the release of this fantastic new resource, we are offering our readers an amazing giveaway. To enter, please leave us a comment and let us know in what area of your life you need to find more of God’s peace.

One comment will be selected at random, and that person will receive a copy of the Bible.

Gold In Your Backyard (Book Review and Giveaway!)

Hello Beautiful People,

If you need inspiration to pursue your dreams, I have just read a book that I know will help. This book will get you on your path to success in life and in your business.

Ron Rubin recently sent me a copy of his new book, Gold in Your Backyard: Lessons in Life, Leadership, and the Power Of A Dream. He also included a complimentary canister of cinnamon tea (from the Republic of Tea). This wonderful gift box was presented to me for my honest review.

“I hope you enjoy the journey within these pages.” Ron Rubin

I want to share some background on Rubin’s remarkable achievements.

In 1971, Rubin dreamed of owning a winery while studying viticulture and enology at the University of California at Davi . Forty years later, in 2011, that dream came true when he purchased the River Road Family Vineyards and Winery located in the Green Valley of the Russian River Valley, Sonoma County.

Rubin begabegan n his beverage career in 1972 with his family’s business, Central Wholesale Liquor Co. in Mount Vernon, Illinois, where he remained for the nex22 yearsrs.

In 1994, Ron purchased The Republic of Tea, a specialty tea business in Marin County, California, which his son, Todd, currently leads.

In 2017, Ron funded The Maynard Amerine Wine Label and Menu Collection at U.C. Davis by providing the seed funding to create a searchable online database, making the collection usable around the world. He also began the TRAINED FOR “SAVING LIVES” program in collaboration with the American Red Cross and ZOLL Medical Corporatio. River Road Family Vineyards and Winery is covering the cost of one ZOLL AED PLUS (Automated External Defibrillator) unit. To date, 450 United States wineries have joined this program, resulting in over 2,000 newly trained staff members in CPR, AED, and First Aid.

What touched me about this book is that he always prioritized his family over his busines. Rubin gives you a step-by-step process of how he achieved success in life, valuing every step of the way.
“The deepest satisfaction you will find will come from your family, from your spouses and children, from those who shared their love and supported your dreams.” Ron Rubin

The book is an easy read, and the chapters are very short.

Order your hardcopy of an actual success book of wisdo . This book should be a required read for every university business class.

Alexander Maclaren Study Bible (Giveaway Winner Announcement!)

Greetings, Wonderful People!

Do you ever feel that the world is racing past you at such a fast pace that you want to stop and take a break from the madness? The pressures of everyday life, whether it is family, work, or just life, can be overwhelming, and you want to run away and seek peace. My hubby and I did this a few weeks back when we celebrated our anniversary. This year has been incredibly full with work and family commitments, so we just needed a few days to reflect on where we have been and what we want for the rest of this year. We decided that one of the main goals for the rest of 2025 was to delve deeper into God’s Word and cultivate a closer relationship with Him.

Finding the right place begin that deep dive into the WORD is often a stumbling block for many people. My recommendation is pick up a study bible and see where it takes you. I recommend to one that speaks to you and will help you make that connection with GOD. Right now, I would recmmend the new Alexander R. Maclaren Study Bible. This Bible takes the teachings of the great 19th century preacher, Alexander Maclaren and brings into the 21st century. Maclaren is regarded as one of the important preachers of his time; and his books are still being studied by preachers of today.

You can purchase the Bible on Amazon or directly visit the Thomas Nelson website.
