The Kingdom Series - by Chuck Black

I just finished this great set of books by Chuck Black called The Kingdom Series.

Their books that are set in the time of knights. But it takes you through the whole Bible. Of course you can't put EVERY story from the Bible into 6 small books, but you can put several very good stories from the Bible in the right order into 6 books. I enjoyed these greatly. There similar to C.S.Lewis' Narnia books. Because they are allegories. They look like just boy books, but they aren't. I would highly recommend them for boys and girls.

You can see the site for the books HERE.

Enjoy!!!

I Came to Love You Late

This summer I read a book called "I Came to Love You Late". I really loved it. It is a fictional story about Martha and Mary (the Martha and Mary from the Bible). It was a great look at what they might of felt and thought. I would highly recommend this book to girls that love God, his word (the Bible), fiction stories, and the story of Martha and Mary.

Great History/Christian/Missionary books




My family loves these two sets of books. They're called "Christian Heroes: Then & Now" and "Heroes of History". They are the from YWAM Publishing. I haven't read all of them, but all of the ones I have read I loved. My favorite is "Lillian Trasher: The Greatest Wonder in Egypt". I just finished "Meriwether Lewis: Off the Edge of the Map" and am currently reading "Amy Carmichael: Rescuer of Precious Gems". Check them out!




More Than A Carpenter

I just finished More Than A Carpenter the other day. It's a great book. Josh McDowell (the author) actually wrote it after he tried to find proof that Jesus wasn't God's Son, because when he tried to find the proof he needed it wasn't there. Instead he found the opposite, that Jesus was God's Son as a man on earth to save his people from their sin. He found so much evidence that he wrote the book More Than A Carpenter. It was an excellent book and I would recommed it to all christians and also none christians. I think if a none christian read it that person would be a christian, or want to be a christian, by the end of the book.
