Has anybody read these? I have not bought any of the books yet but I have read through the catalogues. The books intrique me. Themes of character building and truth are woven in the stories. I like that idea. So many of today's children's stories are so flat and self-glorifying. I am curious though if in any of them there is a subtle hint of manipulation (ie. fear, guilt tactics) ? Really, it would depend on the heart of the author, right?
I'm asking because the publisher incudes both "Families where Grace is in Place" and "Sheperding a Child's Heart" in his book list for parents, which seem to be on opposite spectrums. He is very selective in the books he suggests and makes available.
I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, you know? :shrug
Ever since I started homescooling, finding resources has been harder....home education and parenting are all mixed in together and it's hard to find resources I can fully trust. I'm still insecure in both. :O
