Written on the Wind by Judith Pella and published by Bethany House (2002), will definitely inform you about World War II. This is the first book in the Daughters of Fortune series. There are four books in the series. Many things I read in Written on the Wind, especially regarding Soviet Union and World War II, I had not known before. It will also make you think of what is most important in life, relationships with the Lord and loved ones.  The story is mainly about Cameron Hays, a journalist for the newspaper her father owns, The Los Angeles Journal. He inherited it from his father-in-la ..read more

Passover begins tonight, Monday, April 22, 2024 at sundown and ends at sundown, Tuesday, April 30. Knowing about Passover blesses Christian kids. You might say it’s an essential. Passover is a remembrance and sacred celebration of the freedom that God brought to the Israelites when he brought them out of slavery in Egypt. In the gospels we read about Jesus and his disciples celebrating the Passover on the night before the morning of Good Friday. Jesus helped his disciples know that he was now going to free them from a greater bondage–a bondage to sin. The Passover of Egypt so many years befor ..read more

3w ago
The Knight’s Map by R.C. Sproul with illustrations by Richard Lawnes, and published by Ligonier Ministries (2016) is a beautifully illustrated children’s storybook. It opens with a letter to parents explaining the purpose and inspiration for the story. The author suggests ways parents can enrich the reading experience. He quotes Matthew 13:45-46, which compares the kingdom of God to a pearl of great price. The story is an allegory based on the parables of Jesus. A boy tells his father how kids at school are teasing him for reading the Bible, calling it an old book full of made-up stories. His ..read more

Spring forward/fall back can throw us for a loop. My pastor jokingly told the 11 o’clock service that he was surprised to see that anyone had showed up that morning for the 9 o’clock. At my house I’m not sure when I should start cooking dinner. It’s too light out; it’s still afternoon I tell myself. For little ones and school age children, bedtime can seem way too early. They might even be giving you more of a hard time when they are told its time for bed. Perhaps there’s a way to smooth that out–sweeten the deal. Maybe extending story time a little–or creating a story time if you don’t alread ..read more

If you have a horse lover in your family or among your young friends, Golden Filly Collection 1 written by Lauraine Snelling and published by Bethany House Publishers; 1st edition (2009) is a good, good read.
