Books! Books! We love books!

Disclaimer: Some of these books are obviously faith based and I am happy to point people to authors that honor God in their writing. Some of these books are not necessarily faith based but have offered direction for our family on our homeschooling journey or for home management and so I have listed them here. Always read with discernment and spit out any portions that do not align with the Word of God, which is the ONLY book that is wholly trustworthy. Otherwise, we are required as Christian parents to pray that the Holy Spirit will always guide us in discernment. Happy reading!
