I would say this is a must read for every parent. While I do not agree with everything the author says, Shepherding a Child’s Heart gives very good clear Biblical ways to raise our children. The priniciples are not new to me, but they are articulated well.

My opinion on books I am curently reading
I have 4-5 books by my bed that I am reading. And I just finished this one.
The Greatest Business Decisions of All Time gives stories of companies such as Zappos, Apple, Ford that made innovative decisions that made a huge positive impact on their company. In hindsight some of their decision was counterintuitive, but later those decisions defined the company.
I borrowed King’s Cross from the library, but I like it so much I’m going to buy a copy.
Tim Keller is best known for his book Reasons For God, which I love. That book has strengthened my faith and it’s a book that I’ve shared with unbelievers. King’s Cross is another faith building…
This book is very popular, but I have to say, I didn’t love it. It’s probably because I am not the intended audience for this book. The focus is on being more sold out to Christ in response to His love for us. While that is always a good reminder, it’s not where I am in my life where I need to hear that.
I borrow this book from my pastor. This book is given to new church members – a good basic book, not real exciting, but not boring. The first 1/2 is pretty good. After that it was dragging a bit. It’s a good book to read and use for discipling others. The book gives a good understanding of what the gospel is, not just at the point of “accepting Christ” but the what you should do after “accepting Christ.” It also gives a proper perspective of “church” and what it means to be a member of a church.

Another E.L. Konigsbury lend to me by my friend E. And now I see why Konigsbury is one of E’s favorite authors.
Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver is something of a historical fiction. I don’t know how accurate it is, but since I don’t know much about the Middle Ages, it doesn’t matter to me. At least it gave me a bit of insight into the aristocracy in those days. Very good reading, I couldn’t put it down.
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsbury is a very fun book to read. I love children books like this. It’s simple yet there is something deep about it. The author understands the heart of a child, and speaks to both adults and children with action, humor, relationship and character developments. The innocence of a child’s perspective towards life is nicely portrayed, and that is something we can all learn from. I like the little twist in the ending.

Thank you, E for lending me this book. I couldn’t put it down and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I liked everything about the book, the intrigue, the fictional dialogue mixed with historical information, learning something about Leonardo da Vinci, and it had a surprise ending, well, it was surprising to me at least. For once, I am going to tell you, don’t read the last page or you’ll spoil the whole story.
Spoiler alert!
Read another Hamish Macbeth mystery – a mindless diversion.
The build up in these books are always good, but the resolution is disappointing. The murderer killed 3 people leaving no trail and for months the police had no leads. Then all of a sudden, she stabs someone in the lobby of a hotel and gives herself away. I think the author just wanted to end it.
I saw this book at the library with one of Thomas Kindade’s pictures on the cover with Thomas Kinkade as the author. Kinkade writes too?
I found out he can’t. I’m sorry, but I quit a third of the way into the book because it was so boring. I know it’s suppose to be a…
