Dealing with Sin in our Children
by Arthur Hildersham
How can we best deal with our children when they manifest their sinful natures? Authur Hildersham, an English Puritan, preached many sermons on Psalm 51:17.

May God use it to help change little sinners into little saints.

Do Hard Things
by Alex & Brett Harris
A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
A growing movement of young people is rebelling against the low expectations of today's culture by choosing to "do hard things" for the glory of God. And Alex and Brett Harris are leading the charge. Do Hard Things is the Harris twins' revolutionary message in its purest and most compelling form, giving readers a tangible glimpse of what is possible for teens who actively resist cultural lies that limit their potential. Combating the idea of adolescence as a vacation from responsibility, the authors weave together biblical insights, history, and modern examples to redefine the teen years as the launching pad of life. Then they map out five powerful ways teens can respond for personal and social change. Written by teens for teens, Do Hard Things is packed with humorous personal anecdotes, practical examples, and stories of real-life rebelutionaries in action. This rallying cry from the heart of an already-happening teen revolution challenges a generation to lay claim to a brighter future, starting today.

Hand that Rocks the Cradle
by Harvey Bluedorn
Review by Kathy Davis at homeschoolbuzz.com Hand that Rocks the Cradle is a comprehensive list of over 400 outstanding classic books, some well known, others less, but all excellent choices for entertaining, inspiring and stimulating young hearts and minds. This handy booklet will help you choose exceptional literature for your family read-alouds as well as your children’s individual reading time. Little Lord Fauntleroy, The Door in the Wall, Old Yeller, and Men of Iron are but a small sample of books the Bluedorn family has read together and recommends to others. Sorted into three reading levels (easy, difficult, and advanced), the reading suggestions are categorized according to author as well as subject. Mr. Bluedorn does point out however that the level of difficulty was never an issue during his homeschool years. His mother had read aloud some of the more difficult classics when he was young, and vice-versa. Wonderful things happen when you read aloud to your children. Time seems to stop as you are all transported to far-away lands, while echoes of past heroes, real and imaginary, bring smiles and tears, excitement and adventure. Just like Mr. Bluedorn, these will be memories your children will hold dear to their hearts when in the not so distant future, you find they are grown and on their own. I consider Hand that Rocks the Cradle a very thorough and well-researched resource; it will serve you well for many years to come.

Raising Maidens of Virtue: a Study of Feminine Loveliness for Mothers and Daughters
More than a fashion statement — make a purity statement! Do you want your daughter to cherish her purity and honour God by the chaste and lovely way she presents herself? More than a fill-in-the-blank Bible study, Raising Maidens of Virtue is an engaging tool for mothers to use in training daughters who are approaching womanhood to think biblically. Through stories, allegories, illustrations, and memory-making projects, Raising Maidens of Virtue covers topics such as guarding the tongue, idleness, sibling relationships, honouring parents, contentment, modesty, purity, cleanliness, and feminine biblical beauty. Mothers and daughters alike will experience the wonder and charm of the enchanting maiden years through the winsome watercolour vignettes of Johannah Bluedorn! Godly women are not born, but raised. Stacy McDonald has in this work equipped parents to be about the business of raising up rubies, or rather, that which is more precious still, our daughters. She is a faithful guide, for she is a godly example. - Dr. R. C. Sproul, Jr., Pastor, Director of the Highlands Study Centre, and most importantly, homeschooling father of six. In the face of our culture’s shameless enticement of young women to view their identity and worth only in terms of their sexuality, Stacy McDonald passionately challenges mothers and daughters together to return to a pure and gracious femininity for the God who made us uniquely for His glory. -Tracy Klicka, wife of Sr. Counsel for HSLDA, Chris Klicka We need young women who cherish their purity and desire to honour their parents through chaste behaviour, speech, and dress. We need girls of character who cultivate their minds and emotions to reflect God’s design with joy, intelligence, and delight. – From the Foreword by Jennie Chancey

So Much More
by Anna Botkin
Remarkable Influence Of Visionary Daughters On The Kingdom Of God. Today, countless young ladies face difficult problems and challenging questions. While many long for godly purpose in their lives, their bewilderment mounts when they observe broken homes, distant fathers, overwhelmed mothers, degrading college courses, and a lack of spiritual guidance-both at home and at church. As hope for security and stability fades, it is no wonder that many young ladies feel orphaned, unprotected, and without hope for their futures. Within the pages of this book, discover practical, biblical solutions for the young woman who wants to do so much more than just “survive” in a savagely feministic, anti-Christian culture. Find the answers a girl is not likely to get from her church, her peers, or her culture. This book is not another Christian-teenage-girl “survival guide.” So Much More shows how Christian girls can wage war with the world and win.

by John S C Abbott
The sequel to the famous and popular volume "The Mother at Home" by the same author. John S.C. Abbott (1805-1877) devoted his life to writing books with children and young people in mind. In his own words, "This book is intended not for entertainment, but for solid instruction. I have endeavoured, however, to present instruction in an attractive form to gain the attention of the young. Though the book is particularly intended for children, or rather for young persons, it is hoped that it will aid parents in their efforts for moral and religious instruction." The subjects covered are: RESPONSIBILITY, DECEPTION, OBEDIENCE, RELIGIOUS TRUTH, PIETY & TRAITS OF CHARACTER. The book is filled with examples drawn from real life that will speak directly to the heart of the child who cares for his never-dying soul. A true classic!

Your Child's Profession of Faith
by Dennis Gundersen
Do we take the words of a child at face value? How about when he professes to have committed his life to Christ? Is that always a real conversion, or could your child be just trying to please you? A parent ought not to voice doubts that will discourage his child's heart; but we know they are immature as well, and may not know the meaning of the committment they say they wish to make. Least of all we we want to make a mistaken profession of faith that may make them presumptuous, for the rest of their lives, that "I got saved when I was young, so that's taken care of." This is a useful book for parents who want to shepherd their children all the way to the gates of eternal life.
