Walking Therein

Busy With Reviews

Sentinel City of Destiny
by Landel Bilbrey
I am reviewing the book Sentinel City of Destiny by Landel Bilbrey. We have only just begun reading, but I did skim through the middle and end sections to get a feel for it. It has a Glossary to define some of the terms used, because the story is fantasy fiction, and some words are allegorical. The feel I get from it is like The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. This story is set in more of a knights fashion, though.

Seasons at Home Magazine by JoyousHome.com

LOVE this magazine. It is all-encompassing. It is for girls and moms, but also sets a family atmosphere. The present issue is supposed to have articles about home birthing, and I cannot WAIT to read it! I love the issue I have with its recipes, crafts and even a couple of articles that, as Amanda pointed out, could be used as unit studies.I am looking forward to writing a very positive review for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. 

Generations of Virtue: Setting a Paradigm for Purity
by Julie Hiramine
I like this video. I like a lot of what she has to say. We stay away from the pop-culture youth group ideals, and I was afraid this was going to be up that alley. It isn't. I have n't finished watching it because I was having a hard time getting it to play. I tried it again the other day, though, and it worked, so I am looking forward to finishing it and writing up a review for TOS.

Sally Ride Science Set
I wanted to start using this last week, but Eric being sick halted that. It is a classroom boxed set, and I can get to lesson plans and other ideas online. I am not happy with the first and foremost ideology of the focus being on girls education being so important (almost to the point of excluding boys), but I understand that society feels it necessary to give girls an "equal chance" to what boys are offered. I disagree with that notion, but I am looking forward to seeing how well this fits our "classroom".

I will be writing a review soon, and I hope that, as a Creationist, there is not too much evolution I have to wade through, but we will see. I am pretty sure I saw that this is evolution-friendly.
