Building Godly Character with Older Books - Audio CD by Dennis Gundersen $7.50 | CD | Grace & Truth Books OUR PRICE: $6.00 When our family began the homeschool journey back in the early 1980's, we heard many seasoned, experienced parents telling us: "The older books, from the 19th and 18th century and even before, are so much better and richer in content! Find as many as you can and use them in your homeschooling!" As we began to ask ourselves why this is, it became increasingly clear that many of the books Christians wrote in those eras for the education of their children were based on more biblical thinking, and perhaps even more importantly, a biblical view of children. This message explains what we have learned in almost three decades since then about why books from those eras are so often better, richer in content, and make a more lasting impact when it comes to character-building. Not only will your family be enriched by a deeper acquaintance with literature from past centuries, but this message by Dennis Gundersen also explains how parents can make wiser selections from among the literature of today for children. single Audio CD, 50 minutes Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:
