These aren’t my picks, I haven’t thought it through and deduced it to that point. But I agree with these conclusions as great books that we should read with our children.

Hmm, I’m not really sure where this is classified in my blogs. It definitely is related to Biblical understanding (therefore education) so it will go here. It is also related to family life - so I’ll probably cross post there too. But in reality it is only a link to another excellent blog post.

Carmon at buried treasure books begins like this:

It’s not that I don’t care about what’s happening in the political realm, but I get frustrated at apathy on the one hand and ignorant compromising on the other that I see among Christians who ought to be able to count on both hands, many times over, the number of times the wool has been pulled over their eyes in every election dating back to when the Moral Majority first gave evangelical voters a voice.
