In our home we have books, many of them. They come in all shapes and sizes, about a variety of topics. Some of these books teach us to do things like cook, clean, and garden. Some tell stories of long ago. Some are testimonial, and tell us what people did and why. Some are expository, and explain the meaning of that most wonderful book, the Bible.
I want my children to read books. I want them to understand the purpose of books, to use them wisely, and to see all of them through the lens of Scripture.
Toward that end, my oldest daughter is beginning a book review section that she will be hosting on her blog. Her first book review is on a book about Elizabeth Prentiss and can be read here.
