My Favorite Book:
Bruchko by Bruce Olson (A riveting true story with appeal for both Christians and non-Christians)
An excerpt:
| ...I ran straight into some vines, tripped, and fell flat
on my face, scrambled up, and got tangled in the vines again. Then a
searing pain bit into my thigh, and my whole body went limp. I fell. Everything seemed to move slowly - even my huge gulping breaths. I looked down at my thigh. A long shaft was sticking out of it, with a neat little punch-hole where the arrow had gone in. The hole was a bright red from the blood, my blood, oozing out and down my leg. I couldn't take my eyes off the arrow. It seemed unreal. It had to be sticking out from someone else's leg. But it wasn't. Then I looked up, and my heart almost stopped. I was encircled by dark-skinned, naked men, with huge bows drawn taut. Nine little dots of arrowheads pointed right at me. I forgot about my leg. "Don't shoot, don't!" I said in Yuko, pleading also with my eyes. Their eyes, like little black chunks of coal, made no response. Their arms did not relax their bows. "Oh please," I said in Spanish, "I come as a friend. "Friend," I said in Latin. Without taking their eyes off of me, they removed the arrows from their bows. One of the men walked over to me. I cowered. He reached down to my leg and grasped the arrow by the shaft. Putting his foot on my thigh, he yanked out the arrow. I saw little red, dancing stars. I couldn't breathe. I looked down at my leg and saw a bit of my muscle trailing in the blood from where the arrow had been pulled out. Every second the pain seemed to be more than I could stand, and then unbelievably, it got worse... |

For Kids
A classic book of adventure, mystery and humor, with deeper meaning for those who are Christian. If you start reading these books to your kids, they won't let you stop reading (and you will probably continue reading after your kids have fallen asleep!). Lewis' style allows you to "see" the story as it unfolds. The intricacies and subtleties are all come together in the last two books of the series.
The children's version of John Bunyan's classic story of the hazards associated with the Christian walk. An easy-to-understand version geared toward the younger readers. Our boys have really enjoyed this version, often listening for hours.
