More good book reviews!
Someone in one of my yahoo groups was saying they were really happy that I told them about the book by the Duggars family. That it really encouraged them. I wrote her back with a list of some other books, we’ve been reading lately. These are books I read this summer/fall to my daughter who turned 7 this summer. She really enjoyed them!
Missionary Stories with the Millers by Christian Light (Every chapter is an amazing true story of miracles that happen to missionaries!)
Glady Aylward, Missionaries then and now (One of the chapters in the above book was about her and someone from this group prob gave me this book in my happy box at the AR retreat! My daughter loved the book and we read it twice. Our friend had the cartoon version which we watched but not as good as the book. What this woman endures for the sake of getting the gospel to China is amazing!)
Anita Dittman by Moody Publishers–Just finished this one and couldn’t put it down!!! True story of a girl who was half Jewish who lived in Germany during the Holocaust. She comes to faith in Jesus and her faith is what keeps her going through such difficult times. My daughter told me last night, "Mommy, I knew the Germans were bad to the Jews but I didn’t know that they were that bad!" And this book didn’t tell half of it because it was written for children! But it really made us appreciate so much, what we have here. Esp when you read about people so skinny, their bones are sticking out, going to bed starved and their hair falling out from malnutrition. That just breaks my heart. Makes me really appreciate the abundance we have in this country as well as the fact that I don’t have to be afraid to tell people I am Jewish here. It’s also good for my daughter to see what goes on in the real world!
I think one lesson my daughter learned was that believing in Jesus does not mean life will always be rosy. He is just there with you during the difficult times and sees you through it! This is an important lesson in itself.

Book Review by Bonita (a reader of this blog)
I absolutely loved the book, Housewives Desperate for God. It gave me a fresh outlook and vision for the task of being a homemaker in the 21st century. It really helped me to realize how the job of housewife is a profession that is looked down upon by must people. This book helped me to discover “the beautiful picture painted in Scripture of the truly fulfilled homemaker who glories in the hopeful calling God created for her”. If you have the time this summer, I hope you can read this book.
The new Duggars book is great!
I learned SO much from reading their new book, A Love the Multiplies which I purchased from Vision Forum. I like the way they structure their day and the conflict resolution strategies are priceless! This was my all time favorite book of the yr that I read : ) I know I always say that!
