The Afters "Live on Forever" CD review

I am SO excited to share some new music with you tonight.  The Afters have been a Contemporary Christian band for a while.  In fact, Nick and I went to see them in concert at a small church in Derby before we had our kiddos (so at least 10 years ago!).  I loved their new music, which I felt was very "radio-friendly" and almost all of the songs had super catchy melodies.  One of my favorites is track #4 "Time of My Life".

I also asked Nick what he thought about the music, and he was a little bummed that they weren't as "rockin'" as they used to be, but said that the music was still good.  Gabrielle said she liked it too!  So in my opinion, it's a huge win when most of our family likes to listen to the same music!

The Biggest Story review

I wanted to let you know about a new audio book and the coordinating animated short film of The Biggest Story, written by Kevin DeYoung and illustrated by Don Clark (for children ages 5-12).


I love that this story starts with creation and within 30 minutes, children have heard the redemptive story of God's love throughout the entire Bible!  The illustrations in the DVD are beautiful, and while this is not a cartoon-type movie, I think it would be a wonderful tool for young moms to have for their kids at home, as well as ministries within the church.  Each "chapter" of the story is only a few minutes long, so it would definitely be a great video for teachers to have in Sunday School classes as well!


Here is a snapshot of one of the illustrations in the DVD:





Here are a few links for you to check it out for yourself:


If you would like to win a copy of these for yourself, just leave me a message on this blog post, and I will enter you into the drawing.  I will plan to pick a winner a week from today, on September 21st.
