Laurie and Harvey Bluedorn of Trivium Pursuit 

The Featured Blogger of the Week will receive the following book,

The Greek Alphabetarion

A Primer for Teaching How to Read, Write & Pronounce Ancient & Biblical Greek Before we can learn a language, we must master its alphabet. Yet many Greek grammars spend little time teaching the symbols and sounds of the Greek alphabet. Failure to master the basics of a language -- its spelling and phonics rules -- will cripple our progress in mastering the whole language. This new edition of A Greek Alphabetarion has been thoroughly revised and reformatted to make it easier for parents to teach their children, and for older students to learn by themselves. A syllabary (practice blending consonants and vowels) and a chrestomathy (practice reading sample passages) have been added in this new edition. A Greek Alphabetarion teaches the Greek alphabet in alphabetical order, letter by letter, using a rhythmic cadence to aid the student's memorization. Then, it teaches the alphabet in phonetic order, classifying each letter by its sound. A Greek Alphabetarion helps the student step-by-step to master reading Greek before moving on to study Greek grammar. Suitable for all ages, child through adult, in homeschools, private schools, colleges, and seminaries. Pronunciation CD included. Designed to be accompanied by A Greek Hupogrammon: A Beginner's Copybook for the Greek Alphabet with Pronunciations by Harvey Bluedorn.

and the Random Blogger will receive the book, The Lord Builds His House

The 127th Psalm has never looked so beautiful. Trivium Pursuit is pleased to announce the release of their newest children's picture book The Lord Builds the House: The 127th Psalm by Johannah Bluedorn. 40 original paintings create stunning, colorful windows on every line of the Psalm, which begins "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it." In Johannah Bluedorn's rich vision, each verse of the Psalm is illustrated with a portrait of "sumptuous simplicity": farm and wild animals celebrate the bounty of nature; the beauty of family; the achievements of builders, bakers, and book authors; and the miracle of God's protection. The book makes the Psalm accessible to very young children, and reminds adults of God's provision for animals as well as for His people. About the author/illustrator: Johannah Bluedorn has been homeschooled all her life and is self-taught in art. Skilled in the use of a variety of media, Johannah has illustrated several other children's books, including Alphabet for Biblical Hebrew, Alphabet for Biblical Greek, Become a Civil War Re-enactor, My Mommy My Teacher, and the forthcoming book From Dark to Dawn: A Tale of Martin Luther and the Reformation (published by Books on the Path). In her spare time, she designs and sews costumes and raises Jersey cows. Johannah lives with her family in New Boston, Illinois.
