Family Devotionals
 | Duncan's Journey: A Little Lamb's Adventure through the Twenty-Third Psalm by Becky Emerick This is a book I wrote for my own children that leads you verse by verse through this beloved Psalm through the eyes of a lamb named Duncan. |
 | by Miriam M. Schoolland An excellent devotional for children and parents to read together. My parents read this to me as a kid, and I've read it to my children twice. It's theology at their level. |
US Historical Fiction
 | by Esther Forbes My family loved this book when we were studying American History! They kept begging me to read another chapter. The ending was sad and dragged a bit. |
Lamplighter Books
Lamplighter is an organization that takes classic, out-of-print books and gives them a second life. These are heart-changing stories that you'll want to re-read to your children every year. Below are my favorites for children. | by Amy LeFeuvre I highly recommend this book, which tells a compelling tale about fighting our giants inside. My children were brought to tears during a conversation with an old soldier. I highly recommend the full-version, although the picture version does have beautiful illustrations. |
 | By Mrs. George Gladstone What are the consequences of our anger? Follow the life of young Helen as she discovers the tragic effect our anger has on the people around us, as well as the forgiveness that can be graciously given. Warning: my daughters had tears flowing at the end of this book, but the memory of its impact will last a lifetime. |
 | by Annie Fellows Johnson This is a tale about waiting for the perfect husband and not settling for less than God's best. I want to re-read this to my daughters year after year. |
 | by Christoph von Schmid A beautiful story of friendship. We adored the characters in this lovely book! |
 | by Christoph von Schmid This dramatic story creates such a thankfulness for the world around us as we see what it would be like to discover God's creation for the first time. Little Henry, kidnapped and forced to live in a cave for much of his childhood, is mesmerized by everything when he finally emerges. The text is beautiful and inspiring. |
 | by Elizabeth Prentiss This story illustrates how a contentious child is problematic for the whole family by contrasting two little girls, Golden Thread and Tangle Thread. We read this years ago, and my children still talk about the kind of thread that they are. |
