I think parenting must have been designed to keep us on our knees.<br /><br />Kim- I saw that suggestion on your blog a while back. I couldn't decide how to refute the comment without being rude, but decided to address it here in the future since the whole issue is a question worth wrestling with. I'm glad that when I get to the teen phase, I'll have a godly mother like you to gain wisdom from.Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05694521143609595819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36661610.post-1165615033383032322006-12-08T16:57:00.000-05:002006-12-08T16:57:00.000-05:00Hi,Alicia! Thanks for this! I have not read this book,but have had it recommended for my 14 year old....I had my reservations. I have reservations about a lot of things,but especially christian fiction *love* stories. My daughter reads a lot! I mean,ALOT and I sometimes have trouble finding her things to read....Thankfully her American Literature library and Lamplighter books keep her pretty busy this year...I just have a slight caution with themes of romantic love at this age...no real need for it,IMO...as a young adult it may be okay....Honestly,I'm just not sure how I feel about it. I don't read Christian fiction myself,but my mom and sister do. they always try to give us books like that. We just try to choose really good books with different focuses.<BR/><BR/>Just my thoughts! I like your thoughts on this.Kimhttp://www.lifesong-kim.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36661610.post-1165602214179109552006-12-08T13:23:00.000-05:002006-12-08T13:23:00.000-05:00In addition to that last comment, Mom didn't know about the Mark of the Lion series.Hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36661610.post-1165602168931482162006-12-08T13:22:00.000-05:002006-12-08T13:22:00.000-05:00Well, if it's any help, Mom said that I could read it when I turned 16. Of course, I had read the Mark of the Lion series (which are pretty much the same)when I was likr twelve.Hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36661610.post-1165593394637411182006-12-08T10:56:00.000-05:002006-12-08T10:56:00.000-05:00Just ran across your blog....as a Mom of 2 young girls....I try not to stress over their futures BUT I am already blown away by what the oldes finds out at school and YES even at church. I'd much rather her not "find these things" out that way and have to come ask me, but how do you know when they are ready to know about some things? I guess we just continue to keep God first in our lives and homes and trust he will guide us and them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
