Junior Fantasy Fiction. Fulfills "Newbery winner or honor" category in the Pioneer Book Challenge.
I've read this dozens of times in my life time, it won the Newbery award in 1976. It's the 4th book in the 5 book series, The Dark is Rising. I read this out loud to my boys and they enjoyed it immensely. It takes place in Wales and is based in Arthurian mythology. The entire series is wonderful!
Recommend: Yes
Non-Fiction. Fulfills the "Self Help" category in the Pioneer Book Challenge.
I have always loved to listen to Sheri Dew speak. She has a way with words and can express difficult concepts in a relatable way. Brian and I read this book together and it has helped us think about gaining answers to difficult questions. Asking questions is never a negative exercise, but it is one filled with effort and can be considered a wrestle. The biggest takeaway for me was that perhaps answers are not the most important thing in asking questions, but the closeness and love that I feel from my Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ as I ask and act.
Recommend: Yes.
