My name is Jamie too! I especially like the what you're reading posts. I have 3 kids age's 9,7 & 4 and am always looking for good clean books for them. <br />I am currently reading Peace Like A River by Leif Enger and The Reason For God by Tim Keller. My oldest son is reading The Borrowers and my younger son is reading a Magic Tree house book, and I read lots of picture books to my daughter.

It might take awhile. :) Here is what we are reading.<br /><br />Read aloud: The Castle in the Attic by Elizabeth Winthrop. I think this is one we picked up at a library booksale when you can fill up a bag for $5. :) It has been on my son's shelf for quite awhile. We found it and thought we would give it try. All three kiddos seem to be enjoying it.<br /><br />Me: My kids have been very into the Left Behind for Kids series lately. It reminded me of when I read the Left Behind series many years ago. In order to be able to talk to them about it, I decided to start the series again. I am on the second of the prequels right now. I am also reading "The Wisdom of God: Seeing Jesus in the Psalms and Wisdom Books" with my Bible study group. We just do one chapter a month, so we will be in this one for awhile :)<br /><br />Sophomore daughter: She just finished reading "My Antonia" by Willa Cather and today is starting "A Midsummer Night's Dream". She is also reading "Journeys of Faithfulness" by Sarah Clarkson.<br /><br />6th grade son: He just finished "Bridge to Terabithia" and will be starting a new one next week. Still choosing what that will be. :) I guess that will go on our March list.<br /><br />Kindergarten son: He is working his way through the ABeka 1st grade readers and is reading every other book he can get his hands on. Two passions he has right now are the Adventure Bible and "Indescribable", a devotional we bought him for Christmas.<br /><br />I think that sums up the major books we are into right now. :) Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176455320261606187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-29913979445854223452019-02-13T07:14:34.836-08:002019-02-13T07:14:34.836-08:00We'd love to meet you at the library sometime!...We'd love to meet you at the library sometime!

Perhaps we'd better get our hands on a few.

I'll have to go look it up. They sound great! I struggle to read series books out loud to my kids. But, maybe I can get them started with one and leave the rest just sorta strewn about to lure them all in.

I'm planning to follow it up with the other two books in the set (The Purpose of Man and The Crucified Life). Tozer, with only an elementary school education!, was such an amazing man and I often feel so humbled to have my faith sharpened by his reflections on Christ! <br /><br />The kids and I just started the Viking Quest series by Lois Walford Johnson together and I have to say I am impressed. These are DISTINCTLY Christian historical fiction novels (there are 5 of them) and already we're loving the first in the series "Raiders from the Sea". The stories follow a 10th century Christian Irish brother and sister who are abducted by Vikings and the many ways their faith is tested and strengthened as they learn to pray and seek blessing, even for those who kidnapped and wronged them. <br /> Krista Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352928130757919226noreply@blogger.com
