I Kissed Dating Goodbye

This has to be one of the most popular books among homeschoolers over the past decade. All three of my older teens read it, and I did, too. Not because we're part of the courtship crowd that really latched onto this book (we're not), and not because we're opposed to dating (we're not), but because I wanted to provoke my teens to think about how to behave with the opposite sex. I also included this book on the reading list for Life Prep for Homeschooled Teenagers for the same reason. You may or may not agree with Harris, but his premise is definitely thought-provoking.

This book is softcover, has 236 pages, was printed in 1997 and is in good condition (there is yellow highlighter on a few pages). Sorry....this one's sold.

The Apostles' Creed: All You Need to Believe

For the moment, I am out of books to post. I know I have more somewhere, but I haven't found them yet, and our older kids are coming to visit this week so I want to spend the time with them, not digging through boxes.

So, I should have more books posted before too long, but in the meantime, here's a book that we don't need because we already have a copy.

Pastor Donald Cole has had a radio show for many years at Moody Radio in Chicago, and we often listened to him when we lived in that area. He is wonderful: so knowledgeable about the Bible, and so compassionate when answering questions from callers to the show.

My husband and I each noticed the offer for this book from Moody, and each sent for it, unbeknownst to the other. Hence the two copies!

One of you is supposed to be blessed by this book, which is why this book went out to the first person who requested it.

God's Grace Bible Studies (Set of Three)

I happened to find these last summer while visiting my son at the Christian bookstore he manages. They are unique because they combine Bible study and history.

The books were written to be adult group Bible study guides, but I used them with dd17 last fall and winter, and they worked fine just for two people.

These guides include many photographs and editorial cartoons from the time periods studied, as well as brief stories and comments from people who lived during those times. The selections from the Bible chosen for each section are especially applicable when examining the events of the decades covered in these books: the 1940s, 1960s, and the 1970s (those are the only books they had left; I wish I could have gotten them all).

These books are softcover, printed in 1999 and 2000, have 40-48 pages each, and are in excellent condition. Sorry, these have been sold.

A Woman of Blessing Bible Study

Now that my daughter is close to finishing home school high school (only one year to go). we've enjoyed studying the Bible using a variety of studies that I find in Christian bookstores.

We used this particular study a few months ago. (We had two others from this series but I had her write in them; this one we only discussed, so it's in perfect shape and I can resell it.)

The way the study is set up is very useful. A story develops over the course of several chapters, each told in the voice of one of the characters. This particular story is about a woman whose husband is transferred to another state, and she and her children must leave loved ones to go somewhere new. As each chapter reveals more of the story, questions about the story and about the Bible verses linked to each chapter help the reader understand how God blesses us through our circumstances, and how we can bless others even when our circumstances are not ideal.

The book is written for small-group study and includes guidelines for small-group leaders. However, we found it to work very well as a study for just two people.

This book is softcover, has 64 pages, was printed in 1999 and is in excellent, like-new condition. Sorry, this one's sold.
