Worth reading
Today I'm going to add a new link to my page here. The Vision Forum It could fit under entertainment just as easily as educational, because this company sells children's dolls, and story books, as well as History texts and family devotionals. They sell paper bound books and audio books, and Christian movies for entertainment as well. I have not read most of the books they offer, but the catalog gives good descriptions of each item. I saw some historical fiction for older children that looked interesting also, and hope to get a chance to inbestigate some of those titles.

There is one book, a children's storybook, that I have read and was delighted to find it for sale here as I had never seen it for sale anywhere else before. (When we read it, we had borrowed it from the church library.) The book is called "The Princess and the Kiss" and I highly reccomend this book to anyone with children aged 4 to 12. It is focused more to the younger audience (probably 4 to 8), but is delightfully well written and illustrated that I enjoyed reading it to the kids as much as they enjoyed listening to it. The book is refreshing, and encourages traditional values of virtue. If you can't afford to buy this book, then ask your church or city library to order it for you. If half the items in this catalog are as well done as this book, then it would be a library well worth the money invested to own as many of these titles as we can afford.

And no, they did not pay me to post this message, or reccomend this (or any) of their books. They don't even know I have written this post, and for all I know they don't even know my blog exists. I was just happy to see a company so wholly devoted to Christian and Family values that I wanted to share it with you. May your life be filled with blessings and may the joy of new discoveries always bring you renewed enthusiasm.

These folks are great. We've gotten to know them a bit over the last three years at the homeschool conference. They carry really great books and resources.

You're right! And they had that Princess and the Kiss book, as well a another series that I have seen which is exceptionally well done.

Sonlight Curriculum sells those books individually, if a person didn't want the whole set. But it looks like these companies all carry books upholding the same high standards and family values. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
