Book Review: Children's Trilogy

Hello everyone!

Today I have the pleasure of sharing about a recently published children's book written by my friend, Rachel Clausman. Rachel is a Torah observant believer in Yeshua and home school graduate who strives to glorify YHVH with her writing. This is Rachel's first published book (but her second book is on its way!).

It is comprised of three stories and numerous color illustrations by Sandy Mason. The three stories are called “Miriam, Come Sit”, “Phineas, the Talker”, and “Who Made the World?”. I have had the privilege of reading all of them myself, and found each to be valuable stories which can provide children with wisdom for their walk with Yeshua and YHVH, and keep them interested at the same time.

“Miriam, Come Sit” tells the story of a little foster child named Miriam who learns about Pesach (Passover), one of YHVH's set apart times, and it's spiritual and physical meaning. It helps to teach children the significance of Yeshua in the Passover, and how He leads us sinners out of the bondage of sin.

“Phineas, the Talker” demonstrates that "pride comes before the fall" and that our actions speak louder than our words. It's interesting to note that even a children's book like this can be enjoyed and applied by older children and even adults!

“Who Made the World?” shares the creation story in a simple way for children to understand it. It also highlights the importance of the Shabbat rest which YHVH ordained.

By publishing these stories, Rachel hopes to inspire young children in their walk with YHVH and Yeshua, but people of any age can read and be blessed by them!

I would encourage you to pray about including this book in your home library!
This book is hardback with 84 pages and is available for purchase here.

Blessings and I hope you enjoy ~ Leah

Created For Work: Practical Insights for Young Men

I am happy to announce our son Zachary Bruno is now a contributing author for Pebble Crossing. Zachary is 15 and is currently being homeschooled.  He loves his new dog Kaya, or any dog for that matter. He loves the LORD and is continuing to learn what it means to stay in His will and His presence. One of Zachary's strong interests is to compose his solo piano music for his Heavenly Father in Heaven. You can find his writings on his journey towards producing his first CD at Zachary Bruno Music by clicking here.  Be sure to comment on his blog, he would love to hear from you!


Since we homeschool, our family has had opportunities to read many books, some on our own and some together as a family. Last year we read Created for Work: Practical Insights for Young Men by Bob Schultz as an evening devotional. Zachary then reread this book on his own earlier this year. The following is a book review of Zachary's insights and what he is learning to apply in his own life. If you haven't shared this book with your family, I would highly recommend it, not only for boys but for everyone in the family. We were blessed by his teachings.  We are now looking forward to another one of Mr. Bob Schultz' books entitled Boyhood and Beyond.
