I have a list of favorite books on my shelf here,but I was using it for another purpose, so I have to find it and then I can recommend more.
I just read a book to my kids on Hudson Taylor from the Christian Heroes Then and Now Series. It is a chapter book, so Ian isn't ready for it yet, but we all enjoyed it from the 6 year old to the 18 year old. We requested more and are eager to read those as well. I love to read true stories, but I tend to cry, even if they are just picture books. My kids always look to see if I am getting choked up on the words when they are touching.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
