I was wondering how a person decides what is THEE best that describes Phil 4:8 because there is never an end to books
Ecc.12:9-14
And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many Proverbs. The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright words of truth. 11 The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd. 12 And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wewarisome to the flesh. 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep hHis commandments, For this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, whether good or evil.
There is just so many…and I think the books should be inspirational mostly. The Lord has shown me not to go with “fantasy, science fiction, etc. books here in our family. We have really enjoyed Keepers of the Faith books that are fiction and include our Lord Jesus alot.
It is hard to find books when you are done, they leave you with that special warm message.
Does anyone have lists like that? We love “true” stories here as much as possible.
There’s only so much time that we have and they need to be Phil 4:8.
Thanks

We should feel confident as Mamas to decide what books are appropriate for our families.
Our family enjoys books from Lamplighter Publishing. You may already be aware of these since you know KOF books. These are reprints of 19th century Christian/Character stories like the KOF books. We are part of the book club and get four books a month. Right now Homeschool Co Op is having a 30% off Lamplighter books sale until July 31st.

I enjoy using the booklist guide called All Through the Ages to help choose quality history selections. The books are arranged chronologically with a brief description. I feel that the author has arranged her lists age appropriately. Books are also labeled by where she first located it: Beautiful Feet, Lamplighter, Landmark History, Veritas Press, etc. You may not prefer every book in the lists, but there are plenty in the lists to choose from that would suit your criteria.

Lamplighter definitely; Grace and Truth book selections; Bethlehem Books and those from Vison Forum come to mind immediately.

I will check out the Grace and Truth and All Through the Ages but we don’t have a very good library and ILLoan is 2.00 each here. I will need to try to find them used. Found The Children On Sunday by Sylvanus Stall free online. It will be good for bible. It is very “Christ Centered” I think.
Thanks
