Summer for the Soul

These summer months are a wonderful time to nourish your soul.

Here are a few of my recommended treasures for children:

Read Aloud Bible Stories (ages 2-3) – volume 1, volume 2, volume 3, volume 4

The Bible in Pictures for Little EyesThis is the copy I had as a child (and still have!) with records included. The newer versions: Old Testament and New Testament.

Hero Tales: A Family Treasury of True Stories From the Lives of Christian Heroes (Ages 8 and up) – volume 1, volume 2, volume 3

Read-N-Grow Picture Bible (ages 9-12) This reads like a graphic novel, and I still remember my children sprawled across the living room, reading it together, many years ago.

Speaking of graphic novels, this brand new one from Tim Challies is fantastic:

Eric’s Greatest Race: The Inspiring True Story of Eric Liddell – Athlete, Missionary Prisoner (ages 8-12)

My recommended book list for teens and adults is on The Palest Ink’s sidebar. A few of those recommendations are authored by Randy Alcorn, who recently wrote a magnificent tribute to his wife, now in heaven.

My favorite read (so far) this year? This.

Is anyone else finding it increasingly difficult to unearth shows and movies that are not offensive? Here is one that my husband and I have greatly enjoyed.

Most recently, we have been turning to Dial In Ministries on YouTube with Pastor Jonny Ardavanis. Readers, this is one I highly recommend. A few to get you started:

How to Meditate on Scripture

Spiritual Warfare

Putting on God’s Armor
