Introducing Chalice Hosanna Allison, Serene’s 18-year-old daughter. How many countries has she visited so far? Chalice and I get talking about books--books she loves and books I love.
I talk about the blessing of reading to your children, especially reading rhyming books to your young children. Bill Peet’s amazingly illustrated and incredible rhyming books were some of my favorites to read to our children. Of the 36 books he wrote for children, here are some of our favorites, which you can order online:
HUGE HAROLD (our absolute favorite)
KERMIT THE HERMIT
HUBERT’S HAIR-RAISING ADVENTURE (the first book he wrote in 1959).
RANDY’S DANDY LIONS
THE CABOOSE WHO GOT LOOSE, etc.
I would have kept the podcast going all day if I shared with you all the wonderful books I wanted to tell you about. Here are a few I mentioned.
ISHMAEL and SELF-RAISED by E.D.E.N. Southworth (Lamplighter books)
All books by A. W. Tozer, especially THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD, THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY, and THE PURSUIT OF GOD
Books by Elizabeth Goudge, especially GREEN DOLPHIN STREET
THE JOURNEY OF PRIVATE GALIONE (HOW AMERICA BECAME A SUPER POWER) by Mary Nahas. Few people know about this book, but every American should know how this young soldier was used to direct the history of America.
And so many more.
