Hi,

I grew up as a reluctant reader. Now I write action-adventures & mysteries, especially for boys 8 and up, that kids hate to put down. My web site is at http://www.maxbooks.9k.com and my Books for Boys blog is at http://booksandboys.blogspot.com

What a great list. I had not seen most of these- now I’ll be on the lookout.

We enjoy Lamplighter books quite a bit. Though they are not devotional in nature they are Christian moral literature with great heroes and vocabulary, too. The Hedge of Thorns and the Golden Thread are two of our favorite. Some of the books are quite short and others are novels.

Kathy,
Such a helpful post! Thanks for sharing your favorites along with the fact that even your daughters can “safely” participate in these devotions. That’s the tidbit I needed to hear:) God bless you!

Hey Kathy,
We have a read a couple books in the Lightkeeper series.

We have all really enjoyed them, and they have led to some interesting discussion. This last time, many of the boys (Wycliffe, Calvin, & Hus), all said they had been priests for many years before they became Christians. We talked for a couple of nights about that.

There are 7 books;
10 Boys/Girls Who Made History
10 Boy/Girls who Made a Difference
10 Boys/Girls who Did not Give In
10 Boys Who Changed the World

(there are different books for the boys/girls versions, they are not together.)

The books are by Irene Howat and we would certainly recommend them.

Thanks for the tip on my erroneous link. I fixed it.
