Sharpen your kids' thinking skills
I am having my two youngest kids read this book over the summer to allow for us to talk about thinking issues. Sometimes we think our children are unable to think, but we just don't give them enough credit. And so, in this new "kids" book by Lee Strobel, there are 12 stories that will help them defend their own faith. Each chapter has questions at the end that are wonderful conversation starters ...

Beetle Bunker Better Than First!
Just like Candy Bombers, Beetle Bunker combines elements of the historical with characters that give insights to struggle, determination, and overcoming obstacles. Sabine is a wonderfully rich character who makes this second installment even better than the first. Erich, the central character in the first book, is grown up and a doctor in East Berlin. Sabine is his much younger sister handicapped ...

Smuggler's Treasure (The Wall #3)

Best in the series...
This fabulous conclusion to Robert Elmer's Wall series is probably my favorite. Smuggler's Treasure has the kind of pacing and intrigue that kids need to keep them engaged in a book. Plus, they will learn about history while absorbing information about the events that took place in Berlin in 1989. I'll never forget when the Berlin Wall came down. I was a freshman in college and watched with ...

A Way Through the Sea (The Young Underground #1)

The Young Underground Series
My children and I very much enjoyed all 8 books in this series. Although the escapades that Peter, his sister Elise, and friend Henrik get themselves into are far-fetched, my children very much enjoyed these books and did not want me to put them down until we'd finished reading 'just the next chapter.' I was pleased with the historical references and the epilogue that would relate the book to the ...

Practicing God's Presence: Brother Lawrence For Today's reader

Robert Elmer, Brother Lawrence

NavPress Publishing Group, 2005

Deep enough to change your thinking.
This book attracted my attention immediately. I've heard of Brother Lawrence for twenty years, but each time I read a piece by him, I bogged down in the archaic language. Elmer takes the meat of Brother Lawrence's philosophy/religious tenets and puts them in words I can relate to. I intend to read this small volume several times. The first time was rewarding, but the material is so rich, it ...

Another Elmer Treasure!
"Candy Bombers" is definitely a historically accurate and riveting novel with an ingenious plot and a good Christian emphasis. I am 15 years old, but Robert Elmer has been one of my favorite authors since I was 11. He is a master of young adults' historical fiction, bringing history to life through exciting stories overlaid with long-lasting lessons about God and the Christian life. I HIGHLY ...

Great short story collection
"Eat My Martian Dust" is a wonderful collection of short stories. These 14 tales vary dramatically in locale and environment, but do have an interesting connection. The short stories are by different authors and this adds to the overall enjoyment of the collection. Excellent writers with different styles gives this book flavor! Some of the authors were new to me, but I will now search out ...
