Well, I finally finished "Pieces of Light" by Julia Cave, the third in a series. You can get all three from Answers In Genesis or if you have a Kindle, you can get it at Amazon too. What I love about Julia's books is they intertwine apologetics and a great story line too. In this book, Dinah Harris, a former FBI agent is a consultant on serial church bomber. It builds the story with the why the young man decided to go on his rampage against the church and how Dinah and the FBI agents find him. You learn how abuse really ravages a family and how when church family turn a blind eye what 'could' happen. You see how different children respond differently to the same abuse. You see corrupt politicians at work with in the story line and how power corrupts. You get it all. If you have read Julia's previous books, then don't delay and get this one. If you haven't read any of them, you can get a great deal at Answers In Genesis for all three. I would love to say more but would be afraid to give too much detail away. Don't miss a great book. I hope Julia writes more in this series because I so love a good mystery and also enjoy such a great tool for apologetics.
Update on me: We have been busy busy busy this summer. So far I have been to the Homeschool Convention in Boise which was great. Heidi St. John of First Class Ministries along with Steve Lambert from the Five in a Row both were Keynote speakers. I enjoyed the conference immensely. We as a family also began a great family class at UBC Academy, Hebrew Made Easy. We have had two classes so far and I am beginning to understand a few letters and how they are pronounced and other basics. Also UBC Academy put on a Biblical Approach training conference. For a day and half, I was immersed in the Principle Approach and the 4 R's. I wish it could have been a week long so I could really understand. It has redefined how I want to approach schooling with the boys and me too but still working on how it will look at our home. Since I have most of my curriculum already, I need to work how this will work with in what I have already. I know it should be pretty easy but don't want to overwhelm us. lol If you are interested in this approach you can check out: FACE or The wonderful teachers we had were from Aletheia College in Twin Falls, ID. They love to teach and help people learn how to do this approach. My oldest boy went to Church camp this week and a week from today, my Father in law will come pick both boys up to go with them for a week and a half. So summer is flying by right now.
