All book lovers mourn when we discover that one of our favorite books is no longer being printed. That was how members of the Roe family felt when Patricia St. John’s autobiography -- An Ordinary Woman’s Extraordinary Faith -- went out of print several years ago. I made an exciting discovery this year -- it is back in print with a different name: Patricia St. John Tells Her Story. We are once again able to offer this wonderful book to Patricia St. John fans: Patricia St. John |

About ten years ago, Don and Rachel were in a bookstore in Ely, Minnesota. They spied a picture book titled The Bear That Heard Crying, by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock and Helen Kinsey. After reading this story that is based on a true event, they decided to purchase the book for me as a Mother’s Day present. You might think that is a bit odd -- giving an adult a picture book. But in our family, everyone enjoys picture books. Our reading material does not just consist of titles at our reading level; we read everything we are able to read! I thoroughly enjoyed the gift and I put it on my bookshelf. The influence of the story of Sarah Whitcher (the little girl in the story) in my life, however, does not end there. Several months later I was discussing home school curriculum at a friend’s home. As I glanced at my friend’s bookshelf, I noticed a very interesting title: Sarah Whitcher’s Story. I took the book off the shelf and soon discovered that this was a longer version of the story that was presented in The Bear That Heard Crying. The exciting part is that Sarah Whitcher’s Story was written by a Christian author -- Elizabeth Yates. Ms. Yates tells the story from a Christian perspective! |

It Happened In America: True Stories from the Fifty States, by Lila Perl is a fun book that will add spice to any study of the United States. The book is out-of-print; check your local library or inter-library loan. Copies are also available at this time for a good price at www.amazon.com I am interested in starting a page on this website that would list books (historical fiction and biographies) for each state. Titles that immediately come to mind for Minnesota are: Please e-mail me if you would like to share titles that would help people learn about your state: chrisroe@christiannovelstudies.com |
