In a world of broken-down Britney's...
In a world of broken-down, drug-addicted teen stars and pop princesses with tarnished crowns, it is refreshing to read a book about a young girl with strong moral fortitude and solid goals.
Julie Albright, the latest American Girl, is a ten year old girl living in 1970s San Francisco. In the first book, Meet Julie, we learn that her parents have recently divorced, forcing Julie and her ...

Discovering Jesus in Genesis1 review
Susan Hunt, Richie Hunt
Crossway Books, 2002
Great for ages 7 to 12
I love the Susan Hunt books for kids. I use them for devotions. I recommend using Big Truths first and let your kids get to know the characters. Then move to Discovering Jesus in Exodus--it is a little simpler than this book. All the books captivate the imagination and my children relate to the situations Cassie and Caleb encounter. My children remind me that it is time for our devotion. I ...

The Legacy of Biblical Womanhood1 review
Susan Hunt, Barbara Thompson
Crossway Books, 2003
Legacy of biblical Womanhood
A group of ladies in our church are using this book as a study toward enriching our Women's Ministry. The authors have stayed focused on God's Word and how it can be used to create bonds within our covenant community. It is well-organized, easy to read, but deep in content and thought. We were unfamiliar with some of the terminology but it is explained in the text. The leader's guide that goes ...

Histories of the Future1 review
Duke University Press, 2005
This is hard to explain...
The book is a collection of essays and ideas about the future. But what is the future? It can be a frontier, promising wealth and a high standard of living. It can be a vision of a city of the future, shiny and smelling of gas. The collection includes one story and even a future game and also a time about...well, timelines. From cell phones in the Philippines to Heaven's Gate, explain ...

Big Truths for Little Kids: Teaching Your Children to Live for God17 reviews
Susan Hunt, Richie Hunt
Crossway Books, 1999
A Superb Children Cathecism Book
I do not regret it a bit when I decided to go ahead and read this book myself, as a result of one of the boys in my class whom it was intended for as a Christmas gift did not show up last year. I just wish I knew about it earlier and had the privilege to use it as the `textbook' for the class. Though I have a minimum exposure to Christian children education curriculum, I would consider this book ...

Good Luck, Ivy (American Girls Collection)3 reviews
Lisa Yee
American Girl, 2007
Great kids book that adults can enjoy!
This is the 'extra' book in the 'Julie' series from American Girl. Julie is the newest American Girl character, and Ivy Ling is her best friend. I am an adult who works at AG, but that doesn't influence my opinions on the books. It just makes it easy for me to read them.
I really liked this book. Ivy was born in America, and so were her parents, but her grandparents are a big part of her ...

Great study or devotional for kids of all ages
Our children are 14 to 5 years old and they all love the stories in this book. It keeps them engaged, is simple and to the point and reinforces both simple and more advanced concepts. Highly recommended!

Susan Hunt

An excellent purchase!
I am so glad a friend recommended this book! My 3 1/2 year old daughter loves the stories and is learning the Bible verses too. This is actually the only children's book I have seen that talks about the Holy Spirit and His role in recalling Scripture to mind, prompting us to make right choices, etc. This was a great purchase and I definately feel it is playing a key role in my discipleship of ...

Women's Ministry in the Local Church3 reviews
J. Ligon Duncan, Susan Hunt
Crossway Books, 2006
Excellent!
Women's Ministry in the Local Church, authored by J. Ligon Duncan and Susan Hunt, is a practical book that seeks to provide guidance on how and why a church can and should have an effective women's ministry. It is a timely book, arriving at a point when the church is in need of this type of biblical guidance. The role of women in the church has been an area of great dispute of late, though ...

This text provides a good example of how one can be a mentor no matter what stage of life you are at or your giftedness. Encourages you to get involved in another's life and be a godly influence. Great for women's study groups/discussion.

Julie Tells Her Story (American Girls Collection)3 reviews
Megan McDonald
American Girl, 2007
the worst thing ever...
Julie's teacher assigns the class a project called "The Story of My Life," of which has several categories, including "The Best thing that ever happened to me," and others. The one Julie is dreading is the part of the assignment titled "The Worst thing that Ever happened." Why? Because her parents divorce is the worst thing that ever happened to her, but its 1974, divorce isn't that common yet, ...

Biblical Womanhood in the Home (Foundations for the Family Series) (Foundations for the Family Series)5 reviews
Crossway Books, 2002
Celebration of Womanhood
What an inspiring collection of commentaries of powerful Christian women. I truly enjoyed and was inspired by different authors. It is an excellent description of how I have felt as a Christian woman who felt at odds with the dangerous sound of the word "submission". Chapter one is not a resonating read like the rest of the book. My sister read it and almost decided to quit. But I implore ...

The True Woman: The Beauty and Strength of a Godly Woman 5 reviews
Susan Hunt
Crossway Books, 1997
Challenging and Encouraging!
This is a great book for any woman who desires to grow in her relationship with the Lord and become the woman He created her to be--no more conforming to the world's image of femininity. Susan Hunt does a great job of sticking with scripture and biblical examples to paint a clear picture of the "true woman."

Groovy pre-teen fiction
Having moved into an apartment after her parents divorce in the 1970's, this book's young protagonist, Julie Albright, continues effectively confronting several personal challenges.
Learning that Joy Jenner, a classmate who is deaf does not get treated fairly at school because of her disability is frustrating. Joy can read lips, but her 'odd' speech patterns frequently get riddiculed by ...

By Design: God's Distinctive Calling for Women5 reviews
Susan Hunt
Crossway Books, 1998
The most definitive book on Biblical womanhood I've read!
Susan Hunt holds to Biblical precepts when discussing God's design for women - how women were created differently from men - for a purpose! This book does not teach women to return to the kitchen and slave to men. This book opens the eyes of women who are unsure of why God made them differently in the first place. I am a stock broker and single mom, and I found this book to be intellectually ...

The Truth is Hard to Swallow
Dennis Rainey's compilation of Christian authors is brought together very well. The content is so needed for the Christian who wants to make a difference in their home and in their marriage.
With a penchant for honesty and thorough research, this book delivers, in each chapter, a feast for thought and self evaluation. The intellectual approach to challeneging the Christian reader makes this ...
