Home Life Devotionals

I recently had the opportunity to go through two family/home life devotional books both offered by NavPress. Both were helpful in slightly different ways although they hit on similar themes. The first was Walking Together by Jack and Cynthia Heald. I had read some of their books earlier in life and was happy to come…

Gourmet Cooking

This book, The Amateur Gourmet (published by Random House), is laugh-out-loud funny. Audible laughter came pouring out my mouth as I read through this. At least, I laughed through the first part.

Who doesn’t like to eat? What kid won’t chow down at dinner time after a long and busy day? But where does our food come from? How does it make it from the ground to our plate? Here are a few books to help answer some of these questions. Bread Comes to Life: A Garden…

Vanishing Cultures

It is fun to learn about the world around us and Lee & Low Books have brought us a series of books about some cultures that are starting to vanish, for one reason or another. This series of books discuss how the people in the different environment and culture live, what type of homes that…
