Sonrise Stable Books Operation Christmas Spirit

Guess Who’s Joined Our Holiday Gift Guide? Sonrise Stable Books. I am so excited to let you know about this series of books and that there are 8 of books in the series. I talked to the Author who let me know each book read stand alone books. She was kind enough to send us  Operation Christmas Spirit in exhchange for a review and spot in this years Gift Guide.

if Charlie and I were looking to buy books in this series after he reads two, we would purchase six because it catches our eye and it wouldn’t matter that we didn’t purchase 3, 4 and five before Charlie learns number 6 as each book is a stand-alone book.

When Suzzane was still here, she always read Christian based books, and if she were still her, she would love Sonerise Stables and this series of books as it is about family, friendship, horses, and God.

With Charlie, I know he loves the “LORD” and that he believes in him. He doesn’t read books with the “LORD” in them as we haven’t found any children’s books with God in the storyline so Sonrise Stables is a huge plus for our family.

Operation Christmas Spirit is a chapter book which Charlie is just getting into reading. I sat down to read a couple of chapters as I wanted to see if Charlie would be able to read these books on his own and I think he can.

Being a Christmas book means we can put Operation Christmas Spirit up to add to our Christmas collection of movies and books we get out each year to read during the Holidays. But I think Charlie will want to read it other times of the year just like the Grinch move which he always wants to watch.

Here is some information you might want to know about the books as it might help you decide to purchase these books for the children in your lives. They catch your interest enough to read these books.

Rosie and Carrie are sisters. They’re 12 in book 8 (Carrie is adopted).
The 2nd book covers Carrie’s adoption.
Book 3 focuses on evolution vs. creation, specifically as it relates to horses. In this book, they buy the farm where they currently live.
In book four they volunteer nurse mare foal rescue facility.
Book 5 focuses on outward appearances vs. inner characteristics and qualities.
In book 6 Follow Our Leader, the family has their first horse summer camps at the stable. The theme is “Who are you following?”
In book 7 Rosie and Carrie compete in a competitive trail ride with some interesting twists and turns.
Take the time to check out Sunrise Stables  and Operation Christmas Spirit  as well as the other books in this series and let me know if you or your children have read these books and what they thought of them.

A rascally pony, two run-down carts, and a pile of moldy harness seemed like a strange start to a journey full of ups and downs that led Rosie to the most meaningful Christmas of her life. But looking back, she knew it all began that fall day at the livestock auction. When Billy King asks questions about the biblical Christmas story, his curiosity inspires Rosie and the other children to dive into Scripture for the answers. Together they come up with a secret plan for a unique Christmas celebration—Operation Christmas Spirit.

The theme of the book is the Christmas story. Traditional conceptions of the holiday are compared to what God reveals to us in Scripture. The book doesn’t read like a Bible commentary though, and I don’t intend to dictate how anyone observes the holiday – or maybe chooses not to.

Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
