Tales of WORDISHURE Book II {Tuesday's Treasures}


Last year I had the privilege of reviewing this gorgeous book for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine.

"Wordishure where you will continue to learn that God’s Word is sure. Meet fun characters with delightful names  illustrating their character. See how they live out biblical principles and use God’s word as an absolute plumb line..."  

You can read more about this lovely book over at The Old Schoolhouse Magazine.
