(I have Mennonite ancestry on both sides of my family.) <br /><br />Also bonus points for not deifying Luther and Calvin, but presenting them as flawed individuals that God used for His purposes.

Maybe 8 years ago? I think the last time I went was to buy tickets for a DCTalk concert... not an experience I care to repeat!Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319901329438691914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-54835539670405541312012-10-24T08:47:19.630-07:002012-10-24T08:47:19.630-07:00I haven't been into the 1 Christian book store...I haven't been into the 1 Christian book store in RI in 2 years? 3 years? It's been a long time.<br /><br />I'm excited about this series!! My oldest (9 yrs) loves history as much as I do. He sits and reads our historical books for pleasure! I picked up some biographies of famous Christians but I'm finding the writing is horrendous. Clearly the authors did not care about the subject and their bias comes through the writing. I bought them at a used book sale so I'm not out much in the way of money. But I've been looking for good alternatives. I think these might suit my purposes!Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-74709896741114274922012-10-24T08:17:49.241-07:002012-10-24T08:17:49.241-07:00Ha!

All those titles of self worth and positive thinking. *shudder*<br />I am putting this series on my list, it sounds most excellent!<br /><br />PS I haven't bought a book from an overpriced "Christian" book store since book 14 in the Mandie series! <br />We went in to buy the boys a special Bible and I was so appalled at the prices that we walked back out again. The kids wanted to know why so many portrayals of Jesus gave him blue eyes... So much explaining to do!Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446914963118461073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-85528389021127565742012-10-24T07:03:17.118-07:002012-10-24T07:03:17.118-07:00Unfortunately none of my history teachers made the...Unfortunately none of my history teachers made the subject come alive until my freshman year of college, and that, unfortunately, was my last history class. This sounds like a great series.<br /><br />That reminds me I should go to the Christian bookstore more often to check the markdowns. I don't go often because most of their stuff is ridiculously expensive -- one item I went in for specifically because I had a coupon was still more expensive than I could find it online.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-11889361095388779582012-10-24T06:54:06.207-07:002012-10-24T06:54:06.207-07:00So I'm not the only one who goes into Christia...So I'm not the only one who goes into Christian book stores and feel discouraged by the titles.Ticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970101432834731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-19786929059372910672012-10-24T06:15:17.845-07:002012-10-24T06:15:17.845-07:00I have a couple of these but haven't read them...I have a couple of these but haven't read them.
