“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Isaiah 5:20
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;”
I am so thankful for good books – we are blessed to have several good ones out there available to us! However, sadly our world is progressively becoming more & more accepting of wicked things; calling evil good and good evil.
We need to give our children quality books to read. I’ve composed a list of great books that families and children of all ages can read. This is not an exhaustive list and will add a part II over time.
