Hope for Each Day Large Deluxe By Billy Graham, with its beautiful flexible leatherette cover, and printed patterned end pages will make the perfect special gift for a loved one or even yourself.  Bill Graham is a well known inspirational speaker and writer, respected by many generations and well known public personalities alike.  This devotional book offers simplified, brief devotionals for each day- perfect for those who need quick inspiration and spiritual fuel.  Compiled from previous speeches and works, this compendium addresses topics that effect everyone throughout daily life; daily stresses as well as grief and loss.  Unlike other devotional books, this one is gender neutral, and not specifically marketed for only women or men.  In general readers of all ages, socioeconomic backgrounds and genders will appreciate the words of this book.  The large font is not only easy to read- but the large size of this book will be a constant reminder to set aside some quiet time each day to read and to become inspired.  For those not familiar with Billy Graham, this book serves as a perfect introduction to  his inspiring words.  As a blogger for Booklook I received a copy of this book for the purpose of writing this review.

The Color Index

Color Index XL: More than 1,100 New Palettes with CMYK and RGB Formulas for Designers and Artists by Jim Krause is a reference book, perfect for any professional who works with coordinating color schemed.  This catalog of coordinating colors features every imaginable color including muted colors and bright colors. This is not an art book- and for the casual lay reader, the pages will look like monotonous page after page of color schemes.  For the trained artist, this is a useful tool to  determine which colors will best suit the job.  This is a niche book, relevant for professionals.  I feel a casual  artist or hobbyist may find this book too overwhelming or not as useful.  As a blogger I received a copy of this book for the purpose of writing this review.

God Bless My Family By Hannah C. Hall and Steve Whitlow Published by Thomas Nelson

God Bless My Family By Hannah C. Hall and Steve Whitlow  Published by Thomas Nelson  is a beautifully illustrated board book that children will love to have read to them.  The book features bold, bright art alongside a simple and entertaining story about a dog family.  This is a wonderful way to integrate faith in God into a bedtime story routine.  This is a story that can be read and re-read.  The board book is sturdy and will hold up to wear and tear being handled by young little hands.  This would make a great stocking stuffer gift as Christmas nears, or a great gift any time of the year.  As a blogger for Booklook I received a copy of this book for the purpose of writing this review.
