Oh, I love Jennifer Chiaverini’s Elm Creek Quilters series! It’s generally clean, and while it’s not inspirational fiction, there are occasional conversations on Christian or Jewish faith matters and mentions of church and the Bible in most of those books, especially those set around Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Hello Kelly,
I am right there with you – I want to read it ALL! 🙂
This year we are reading The Letter on the Tree by Natalie Savage Carlson, about a boy who attaches a letter to a Christmas tree that is answered by a another boy (that’s where we are in the story now). It takes place in Canada – we are really enjoying it. http://amzn.to/2hbc9Az
We have also read A Certain Small Shepherd by Rebecca Caudill and enjoyed that, too. http://amzn.to/2ggD4xz
Best wishes on your quest to simplify. If you make it, please share how you did it! 🙂
Hy girls,
I”m a mother of 2 boys 5 and 3,5 a family with what to start CM homeschool in Greece. Here is another post of mine with more details https://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/topic/cm-get-started-non-native-english-speaker/#post-588429
Since I’m not a native english speaker and my children are not speaking at all english (we just started to learn english with them). I ‘m looking for any of the audio books you are mention. I whant our children to hear good english, and not mine.
Are there any audio book for free, for our age? Any site?
How are you purchasing the books? Is there any time with sales.It is very hard for us to afford books. Here in Athens we can not find them on garage sales ,or used.
ANY help would be appreciated.
For purchasing high quality readings, we pay $14.95/mth for Audible
The monthly fee is most worth it and the narrations more consistent.
For other children’s tales, you can’t go wrong with Jim Weiss, which can be bought and selected by age, too, from Peace Hill Press: https://welltrainedmind.com/store/
If you get the Peace Hill Press newsletter, you get advertisements of their discounts on audios; that’s how I downloaded two Weiss productions for under $6.
At Amazon you can get some great deals on used (Very Good or Like New) CDs from Jim Weiss.
Lastly, Homeschoolradioshows sells huge collections of MP3 recordings of radio shows. They have three collections: each at $89, so you’d have to save up, but the collections are awesome! They are here:
I hope that gives you a start. What I have usually done is listened to a sample from the free one as well as from Audible and then made my choice as to what I download for free versus what I use an Audible credit on.
