Survey says...

Today, we would like to share with you a few of our favorite books.  Here is a list of our family favorites.  Let me tell you, it was not easy to choose!

Family Choice

If you have been a reader here before you probably already guessed our number 1 pick is The Bible. We use different versions but NLT is the most used.  We also use Bible Hub for parallel readings.  I have also shared some of our favorite Bible devotions in the video below.

Jonathan - 12th grade 

Jonathan's book choice was a recent book he was introduced to while completing the Illuminating Literature course.  I think the course is really helping him to enjoy literature more than ever.  The book he chose was Pudd’nhead Wilson by Mark Twain. The series he has read and recommends is The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Series.

Stephen - 9th grade

 

Stephen chose to recommend the series of The Chronicles of Narnia and his all time favorite 2 books come from that series as well - The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and Prince Caspian.

Sarah - 7th grade 

Sarah chose any Ameila Bedelia book as her favorite of all time and also recommends The Little House on the Prairie series.

Me (Mom)

My main reading genre usually aligns with self help, nonfiction so I chose Own Your Life by Sally Clarkson or any other book by her as well!  

For my homeschool mamas - I would also recommend Homeschool Supermom... NOT! When Grace Meets Homeschooling.

So there you have it - just a few of our favorites that might interest you for the upcoming year!  Happy Reading!

Smart Money, Smart Kids

I am currently participating in the launch team for a new book coming out, Smart Money Smart Kids by #1 New York Times Best Selling Author, Dave Ramsey, and his daughter, Rachel Cruze.  I have been a HUGE Dave Ramsey fan for years and my goal is to teach my children what I was never taught!

We are currently on the dreaded Baby Step number 2 and it feels like it lasts FOREVER!!  My high school student is also taking the Foundations In Personal Finance course by Dave Ramsey and I'm taking it right along with him!  I want my children to skip Baby step 2 all together!  That's where this book will help!  I'm currently on Chapter 3 and already find myself shaking my head in relation and learning so much to share with my family!  

The book will not be available until April 22, but you can pre-order it now and get an additional $50 worth of free extras!  Check out the Smart Money Smart Kids website for more information.

Currently, Amazon has the best deal at $18.62 and free shipping for Prime Members.

Stay tuned to hear more from me on this wonderful book!
