Mosaic for Mom
Another for Mom...
When I was a child, I was quite the clumsy kid. My Mom can attest to how many dishes, vases, and precious porcelain fell from my fingers. I never remember Mom mad. Instead, I would come home from school to find a new cross hanging on the wall as you walk in. The pieces looked familiar, just the broken parts glued back together into a different design. Now as an adult, my butterfingers still get the best of me from time to time (or most of the time) and with a smile I say, "another cross for Mom."

International Love Story
Taking the Love story of H E A V E N around the W O R L D .
Reading Sujo John's story make me start thinking. I'm living in a part of the Middle East known as the Tel Aviv Bubble. My street is Y.L. Perets, more commonly known by Israelis as "Africa." I wake to the sound of Eritrean weddings and Philippine worship songs. The smell of fresh pita wafts up to my windows from the downstairs bakery. It mixes with the injerna from the Ethiopian restaurant down the block. The sun shines, music blares, and I'm officially at peace outside my comfort zone. Why? Because unlike Shakespeare, I might not know what Love is, but I do know this: Love is not convenient. Love gives me security to get out of my shell. Love takes the punch and sometimes bites back when injustice arises. Still, in all this, Love asks the patient question of all times-
Who's my neighbor?
Are they down the block, around the world, or right in front of me?
God please help me turn my cheek and not my back.
The B&B Media Group is excited to join Sujo John Ministries and spread the greatest love story to the ends of the earth. Join us. Share the story and spread the Love.

Faithgirlz! Bible
The new Faithgirlz! Bible was developed especially for girls ages 9 to 12 and has been a bestseller since its first release in 2007 with over 135,000 copies sold. Everything in it is written with a tween girl’s experience in mind, and it features the most popular Bible translation in the world, the New International Version. The features explain hard-to-understand things in the Bible and guide girls to put the Scripture to work in their own lives. The Faithgirlz! Bible focuses on sharing faith with friends and gives real ways for girls to do that.
Each book of the Bible has activities that make God’s Word more relevant than ever. And, of course, because it was developed for Faithgirlz! readers, they can expect to find it jam-packed with customized content and artwork that really makes the Bible stand out. Girls will love the cool design, the interactive features and the feeling of knowing that God’s Word is there for them whenever they need it. Some of the features included are:
- Book Introductions—Girls will read the who, when, where and what of each book of the Bible.
- Dream Girl—Girls will use their imaginations to put themselves in the story.
- Is There a Little (Eve, Ruth, Isaiah) in You?—Girls will see for themselves what they have in common with women of the Bible.
- Words to Live By—Girls will discover great Bible verses for memorizing.
- Oh, I Get It!—Girls will find answers to Bible questions they’ve wondered about.
Nancy Rue says, “I hope the Faithgirlz! Bible will help girls grow a friendship with the Bible. It asks questions, asks them to think and challenges them to apply what they’re learning. That’s how they’ll find a deep, personal relationship with God, rather than just by following rules or saying what they’ve been told without really thinking about it. Rules are important, of course, but they only make sense when they really believe the message of the Scriptures. That’s what this Bible is about.” The Faithgirlz! Bible is the perfect Bible to support girls in their journey into the “beauty of believing.”

Why Care? Love, Granddad
What Do You Think of Me? Why Do I Care?
Answers to the Big Questions of Life

Answers to the Big Questions of Life
S H O W your C A R D S
It is a rainy day, my New Year goals are officially out the window like my soaked hanging laundry, and Skype just cut out for the fourth time in five mins. I decide to finish this book and see a wall post from my brother, quoting my Granddad, unmistakably the wisest and honestly blunt man I know. He taught me to show my cards.
"Now when someone finds something interesting, they naturally want to share it with everyone. Well I have, occasionally, done that same thing. And you know what? I've come to find that not everyone is interested in the same things that I am!"
-My Grandad
So what if it hasn't been my day in a month or maybe a year, why do I care? Here's one for Granddad, I'm showing my cards.

Silly not Stupid
