It explained in great detail all the various inventions they made to make their lives on the island safer and easier. <\/p>\n<p>And the book made us privy to the father&#8217;s thoughts about their plight, as he narrated the whole story.<\/p>\n<p>As Christians, we really resonated with the Robinson family&#8217;s strong faith in God. It was evident on nearly every page, as they prayed for God&#8217;s protection and praised Him for His mercies. <\/p>\n<p>We especially loved the narrator&#8217;s accent in this particular audiobook version. He did a wonderful job with all the voices.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/joybileefarm.com\/elderflower-anti-aging-serum\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">15 Anti-Aging Skincare Recipes from the Garden<\/a> by Chris Dalziel<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/joybileefarm.com\/elderflower-anti-aging-serum\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/15-Anti-Aging-Skin-Care-Recipes.png?resize=300%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"15 Anti-Aging Skin Care Recipes\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-30657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/15-Anti-Aging-Skin-Care-Recipes.png?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/15-Anti-Aging-Skin-Care-Recipes.png?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>I got this book as part of the UB&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimatebundles.com\/#a_aid=a1152&#038;a_bid=f3b96412\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mastering Menopause Bundle<\/a> I purchased this summer. <\/p>\n<p>Sadly, neither that bundle nor this book is available apart from that limited-time (now expired) offer. <\/p>\n<p>So, instead of linking the title to the book, I&#8217;ve linked to one of the author&#8217;s anti-aging recipes on <a href=\"https:\/\/joybileefarm.com\/elderflower-anti-aging-serum\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">her website<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in all-natural, homemade remedies, you should definitely check the site out. <\/p>\n<p>There you&#8217;ll also find a wealth of information on everything from gardening, growing mushrooms and micro-greens to making teas, tinctures, and salves.<br \/>\n<strong> <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/August-Reads-IG.png?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"August Reads\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/August-Reads-IG.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/August-Reads-IG.png?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/August-Reads-IG.png?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/August-Reads-IG.png?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/August-Reads-IG.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/August-Reads-IG.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/August-Reads-IG.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/August-Reads-IG.png?resize=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I only finished three books in August: Swiss Family Robinson and two others.
