Each month a discussion occurs over days at my house about which books are “WORTHY” to go on the list of Simple Short Christian Book Reviews. Each month I wade through at least 50 books and I enjoy every minute! But very few will make it to the final list.
I think about things like Christian Worldview, and historical accuracy, would I want this book in my personal library or would the book be helpful in the daily life of a Christian Homemaker? Does the book capture me? Is it educational?
Here are my picks for this month’s Christian Book Reviews. I hope they will be a blessing to you and your family!

FICTION
The Lord Peter Whimsey Series by Dorothy Sayers was recommended by my daughter-in-love! An exceptionally well-written series where the main character, Lord Peter searches for truth to solve mysteries but also wrestles with moral truths as well. The series was first written in 1923. I was enthralled with these entertaining and meaningful books and I have decided I need a Bunter! (You will have to read these treasures to find out who this character is…)
THEOLOGY
Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: A Response to Evangelical Feminism is a must-read for every Christian living in the world today. Yep…I feel that strongly about it. We all need to know how to defend our faith and be able to explain to others in a loving way, why we believe certain biblical principles. This is the most well-written and biblically sound book on the subject. We have an epidemic going on within Christianity today…it is really the same problem that has occurred throughout the centuries. Will God’s people believe God’s Word or do what is right in their own eyes? This is a hot topic that deserves our attention and study.

HOMESCHOOL
Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography will be on the Christmas and Birthday list of every Laura Ingalls Wilder Fan! This is Laura’s very first manuscript written for adults about her life. It was later, at the suggestion of her daughter Rose, written into many children’s books that we all know and adore as The Little House on the Prairie Series. Not only do we get to see the first draft of the book we are treated to a tirelessly accurate annotated version. This could be an entire history curriculum in itself! Filled with photographs and original documentation. Hours of enjoyment is just waiting for you and your kids!
