Be Brave About Books

In other blog posts, I’ve shared my daughter’s story and discussed how books have changed over the past 150 years, but now I’m encouraging you to BE BRAVE about books. 

I have gone through quite the journey to understand just how impactful books are on children and see clearly that these children entrusted to us are so precious. There is darkness fighting cleverly and fiercely for their hearts and minds. (Read more about that topic on another blog.)

In the video below, I discuss in greater detail why it should matter what books our children read, and how you can take a stand today. We can bring them to beautiful language and ideas, away from the busyness and negativity of the world. Come learn about my journey and be brave about books with me!

All books on our list are chosen to be engaging, but books that rank high in entertainment value may be more appealing to reluctant readers and/or those who are new to good and beautiful books.

All books on The Good and the Beautiful Book List are deemed appropriate and wholesome, but some books have more emphasis on moral principles than others. A lower rating for moral value does not mean the book is inappropriate; it only means that moral values are not as highly emphasized.

Books that score high in literary value include exceptional writing, use of literary devices, and a rich vocabulary. All books on The Good and the Beautiful Book List are well-written, but some have a higher literary value than others.
