Reading is such a gift, and I cherish books that are pure and exciting, and deepen my love for Christ. This list was so helpful, and I am sure that I will go back to it many times!<br /><br />Many Blessings In Christ,<br />~Shannon~Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662177419749848246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202719161192429137.post-79476157717684270492010-12-03T20:43:38.219-05:002010-12-03T20:43:38.219-05:00Thanks for the question -- it was a 'slip of t...Thanks for the question -- it was a 'slip of the lip,' or in this case, the fingers. This was from a list used for an English literature class and I forgot to scratch the comment -- the entire class read and studied "Great Expectations" together so it wasn't to be read as a 'bonus' book. I'm glad you asked! It's a great piece of literature and I hope you'll read and enjoy it.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950133979397831058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202719161192429137.post-24778411545695454142010-11-30T13:59:38.982-05:002010-11-30T13:59:38.982-05:00Thank you for these lists-some of our favourites a...Thank you for these lists-some of our favourites are here and some to explore.<br />Do you know the Milly Molly Mandy series by Joyce Lankester Brisley? These are suitable for elementary age and are set in England in about the 1920s. Short stories about a little girl living in the white thatched cottage with her mother, father, grandparents and aunt and uncle.<br />Another English author that we enjoy is Shirley Hughes whose books are mainly for the under fives. Probably her most famous series is the "Alfie" series but there is also a book of poetry about the seasons, for little ones, called "Out and about." There is one reference to halloween which is easy to alter or miss out but otherwise we love this book with its beautiful pictures.DeliveringGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320150355352857841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202719161192429137.post-65288897982141046432010-11-20T19:15:25.711-05:002010-11-20T19:15:25.711-05:00Mrs. Morecraft,

We'll check it out and try to let you know as soon as possible. Meanwhile, I know I can highly recommend the first edition which was invaluable to me as a young mother. I know the author is a precious Christian lady, so I doubt that she would recommend HP, but don't know for sure.<br />Thanks for the question.<br />Mrs. MorecraftBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950133979397831058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202719161192429137.post-21944840841328409362010-11-15T19:43:58.173-05:002010-11-15T19:43:58.173-05:00Dear Mrs. Morecraft,

I was not...Lauren,wow, you have taught the teacher! I was not aware of what exactly bothered me about this book -- now I know! While it's important to know what the world-view of an author is, it doesn't automatically exclude reading the book. Thanks for pointing out the flaw in this one -- we'll certainly be on our guard while we read it or perhpas decide not to read it at all.<br /><br />Johanna, I'm so thankful you've enjoyed the classes -- so have I! Yes, the Roar From the Other Side is truly wonderful, applicable not only to poetry writing but very helpful with writing better prose. I'll look forward to 'seeing' you in January, Lord blessing.<br /><br />'Dreameagle,' I just ran out of steam before I got to the 'older' book recommendations. Of course, many of the 18+ ones are still great for us older ladies, but I also love book such as St. Elmo, by Augusta Jane Evans, written during the Civil War (or War of Northern Aggression depending on your perspective ;-) and anything else she wrote. I like most all Christian biographies, especially those about missionaries or historical ones such as Fair Sunshine by Jock Purvus, on the Scottish Covenanters. I like some modern authors but read them with my 'guard up,' both theologically and in other important ways. Usually, I don't recommend everything an author has written but only books I have either read myself or that have been read by someone I trust. I'll try to get a more complete list out as soon as I catch my breath.<br />Blessings,<br />Mrs. MorecraftBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950133979397831058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202719161192429137.post-53652650763641828812010-11-12T19:46:40.698-05:002010-11-12T19:46:40.698-05:00Why The Secret Garden?
