Also loved a book called Bright Island by Mabel Robinson. And have never forgotten the book mom used to read to us: Robert Francis Weatherbee by Munroe Leaf. (He also wrote the children's story, Ferdinand the Bull which was banned by the Nazis, to my surprise) And yes, these books are all a part of me!.

I also loved Anne of Green Gables, and some of the sequels, and Winnie the Pooh. Did you ever read the Raggedy Ann and Andy books by Johnny Gruelle? Oooh, and The Little Princess and The Secret Garden. Oh, and all the doll books by Rumer Godden. You're making me very nostalgic today!Keciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00188826846417951616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471228237656801865.post-60343916061310722062011-07-11T09:24:46.429-05:002011-07-11T09:24:46.429-05:00Chris -- I truly believe The Hiding Place was inst...Chris -- I truly believe The Hiding Place was instrumental in laying a faith foundation that prepared me for the trials I would face later in life. I didn't read a lot of adventure books as a child, but I certainly could have included Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, and the Sugar Creek Gang books in my list! I also listened to the sermon this morning, and did find it very encouraging. I truly do love the 5th tree concept, and how it makes Heaven so much more real. I loved Alcorn's "Heaven" book, but enjoyed his "50 Days of Heaven" even more...a much more manageable read for someone in the depths of grief.<br /><br />Judy -- I can just picture you in bed, looking just like Monica & Marla, listening to your mom read Pollyanna. Thanks for sharing the sweet memory!The Sullivan Fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02974080256901038198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471228237656801865.post-45421449655787205532011-07-11T07:42:25.973-05:002011-07-11T07:42:25.973-05:00LOVED this post !

THAT should be at the front of every parent's mind, especially in this day .<br /><br />My very favorite childhood book was Pollyanna. My copy is quite dilapidated, but holds great memories. My Mother and I read together every night when I was a little girl and I treasure that memory !Judy moorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471228237656801865.post-4262754154031875652011-07-10T22:36:26.835-05:002011-07-10T22:36:26.835-05:00P.S.

You might find the sermon I preached today in Indiana encouraging - - if you don't want to listen to the whole thing, then try the last 10 minutes. It relates to the 5th tree link I sent previously.<br /><br />http://www.chrisbrauns.com/2011/07/10/how-can-i-stop-thinking-about-how-someone-hurt-me/Chrishttp://www.chrisbrauns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2471228237656801865.post-77379498013739018722011-07-10T22:33:37.542-05:002011-07-10T22:33:37.542-05:00I have the same copy of the Lion, the Witch, and t...I have the same copy of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe! It's in about the same condition too.<br /><br />The Hiding Place was also important to me. It may have been one of the first steps towards writing a book on forgiveness.<br /><br />I read a lot of adventure books about Davey Crockett, Daniel Boone, Kit Carson, and Jim Bridger.Chris Braunshttp://www.chrisbrauns.comnoreply@blogger.com
