Belly Up<\/a> by Stuart Gibbs<\/h2>\n

\"Belly<\/a>We discovered this book through Sonlight’s always-excellent summer reading recommendations. I’ve yet to read a book they suggest I didn’t love, and Belly Up<\/a> is no exception.<\/p>\n

It tells the story of a hippo homicide at Fun Jungle, a brand new zoo in Texas hill country. Zoo officials claim the mascot died of natural consequences, but 12-year-old Teddy Fitzroy and his friend Summer McCraken suspect foul play. Their surreptitious investigation puts them in all sorts of danger.<\/p>\n

Belly Up<\/a> is fast paced and imaginative, like none other we’ve ever read. Lots of fun zoo and wildlife facts are interwoven with plot details, so the book feels almost as educational as it is entertaining. The kids constantly begged for “one more chapter,” so we finished the story in short order. We’d have been sad for it to end so soon had Mom not discovered (and preemptively ordered) four more titles in the Fun Jungle series<\/a>. So instead, we immediately began the next installment.<\/p>\n

How to Be Your Own Selfish Pig<\/a> by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/a> This classic by Francis Shaeffer’s daughter has been around for decades. I remember reading How to Be Your Own Selfish Pig<\/a> as a college student myself, and it was old even then.<\/p>\n

I finished re-reading it last month with my 13-year-old son, Daniel. He’s taking an apologetics course at our weekly homeschool co-op, and Macaulay’s book is part of the curriculum used for that class. It tackles the faulty foundations of atheistic and humanistic Worldviews so prevalent today. <\/p>\n

William Carey: Obliged to Go<\/a> by Janet & Geoff Benge<\/h2>\n

\"WilliamOur family loves the Benges’ missionary biographies. My husband bought the entire set at a homeschool convention a couple of years ago. I finished reading William Carey: Obliged to Go<\/a> aloud to the children last month. <\/p>\n

Known as the father of the modern missionary movement, Carey met with a lot of opposition from church leaders of his time. They did not share his conviction that the Great Commission is still applicable today. Nor did they agree with Carey that Christians have a responsibility to take the gospel to people who have never heard it before.<\/p>\n

Yet Carey responded to God’s call and moved his family to India, overcoming countless obstacles to do so. There they lived and worked and saw the Lord move in mighty ways. Carey’s is a story of tenacity. A powerful testimony that demonstrates how God can use even hardship and tragedy to grow His kingdom. <\/p>\n

Because He Lives<\/a> by Jennifer Flanders<\/h2>\n

\"BecauseI’d read through the manuscript for Because He Lives<\/a>, the latest in my line of devotional journal, several times before it was finally published last month. <\/p>\n

But now that I have a print copy, I’m going through it again. Slowly this time. Doing the word studies. Using the journaling prompts to jot down my thoughts. Looking up Scriptures. Painting in borders. Using my Prismacolor pencils<\/a> on the beautiful vintage artwork. <\/p>\n

Although I designed this journal for Easter, it can be enjoyed all year long, as one reviewer rightly noted. It covers prophesies pertaining to Jesus’s birth, death and resurrection, miracles He performed during His earthly ministry, events of the passion week, His promises to His followers, and the work we should be doing as we await His return.<\/p>\n
