We are reading The Chronicles of Narnia to the children and I am enjoying them as much as I did the first time I read them, and getting more out of them.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09809934306862670081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6297631190403710992.post-24837529183103083672011-03-05T22:12:37.270-05:002011-03-05T22:12:37.270-05:00Many thanks for these great suggestions so far!

I've found that if I am going through a stressful period her books are always helpful - they convey her confidence that God is with us and offering Himself and His grace through many ordinary means. Her characters always have flaws, but she reveals the struggles going on in each heart so that I end up liking everyone and praising God. I've read three or four of her novels and her memoirs Joy of the Snow. The Dean's Watch was the first one I read and it was incredibly rejuvenative. The Scent of Water was another really lovely book.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.com
