The Best Writer I Have Ever Read (And I Read Alot!)

I just have to share with you this book and author that we have been reading for our devotion time together in the morning. A good while back, I borrowed this book off the shelf in my great aunt's house. When we finished reading all of the Jesus Freaks books, Extreme Devotion along with Heroic Faith (I HIGHLY recommend these), we began reading this book, They Walked With The Savior.

I have been totally amazed at how author Scott Hagan uses so many literary devices to paint such incredible pictures of the people and things that he is talking about! The book brings out many new and different viewpoints and ideas about people who encountered Christ and does it in a very unique way. Every day I am amazed at how much fun it is to read this book! If you have read my blog for very long, you will find that I don't often recommend books. I don't know why, since I read so many. But maybe because very few impress me this much.
I have found that Hagan has written another book along similar lines called They Felt The Spirit's Touch that I am planning to buy in order to read after this one. I am hoping to win a GC to either Amazon or CBD over on the Bloggy Giveaway that I can buy it with.
Just for your info, he has also written a children's book called "Big Bad Bible Bullies" that would probably be fantastic for kids! Let me know if you have ever read any of his books and what you thought. And if you do read because of my recommendation, I would love to know your thoughts.

Library books galore!

I don't know about you, but whenever we start a new unit I visit the library (or my husband does like this time) and get LOTS of books on the topics we are studying. This month we are studying Ancient Rome and Rocks & Minerals, Earthquakes and Volcanoes. There are DVDs, videos, activity books, fiction books, and non-fiction books. Hopefully , these will last for 3-4 weeks. And that cute crate? Found that at a yard sale a few months back for $4.00!!

We are using Learning Adventures "A World of Adventure" this year and I LOVE it! It is laid out day-by-day and covers everything except math (for that I use Math-U-See). During this unit we are also studying and listening to Handel's Messiah. That has been really great, too. There are plenty of hands-on activities like cooking, science experiments, etc. It also includes Spelling, Grammar, Writing, Vocabulary, History, Science and more! I am very pleased with this curriculum.

And BTW, this doesn't include all the personal reading library books that we have out right now. Good thing our library lets you check out as many books as you want:-)!
