"I wonder if you would consider an addition to your blog that is related to these articles. I would love to see you add an "Ashley's Favorites for Teens Reading List". My daughter and I have an extreme challenge finding wonderful reading material for her. She is 14 and reads at a college level. It seems impossible to find appropriate material, subject matter, etc. She frequently defaults to a younger reading level because she doesn't care to read about the topics that popular culture currently deems appropriate for her age. Hope you can help!(for boys too...mine is 16.) We both love your blog! Thanks for all you do for our kids!!!!"
All Time Favorite Christian Fiction Books:
(2 Covers for Redeeming Love...same book! Incredible. I read this during Finals Week my junior year of college. Needless to say, I did not do so hot that semester on finals...oops!)
These are a 3 book series by the same author, Francine Rivers. Trish Helsel introduced me to this series and it is the most challenging book I have ever read outside of the Word. It's about gladiators, love, grace, Roman Empire, etc. It's awesome!
This is a 14 book series about the Baxter Family. It is set in Bloomington, IN and when I went to Bloomington on Kanakuk Movie Trail...I wanted to go meet the Baxters. I had to quickly remind myself THEY ARE NOT REAL PEOPLE! The office girls at K2 got hooked on all these books this summer.

I LOVE all the Karen Kingsbury books you put up, you really can't go wrong with anything by her. Some of my other fave's of her's are Even Now and Ever After, as well, as the 9/11 series which I think Is One Tuesday Morning, and two other books with similar type titles. I also wanted to recommend a book I read around my freshman year of highschool that was AWESOME! It really helped me to take a strong stand for my purity. It is called "And the Bride Wore White" by Dannah Greesh. She is just totally open with you about the struggles she went through and trys to help you avoid mistakes she made. If you journal along with it like she asks you to, it is a really powerful adventure! ANyway. I vould talk about more books all day--but just wanted to tell you thanks and I LOVE YOU!
I also LOVE the Karen Kingsbury 9/11 series. I am not a big reader but I really got into these books and enjoyed reading them for summer reading. They are a great series and I think that if you don't like to read try these books because I really enjoyed them and I recommend them to everyone! Love you Ashley!
