Need to see some more updates. As they say in the book you recommend, “Carry on Mr. Bowditch!” (Carry on Miss Leah :))
By the way, I strongly agree with your recommendation of “Carry on Mr Bowditch”.
Safely home, by Randy Alcorn looks like a good book. Is it a narrative, or biography?
Also, ‘When God writes your love story’ is an incredible book that is a must read! Especially for high school and college age
Safely Home is awesome. And it’s fiction, so narrative.
And, yes, I’ve read “When God Writes Your Love Story” as well. It’s a good book too, though Jonathan enjoyed it more than I did. My favorite “love” book from them is When Dreams Come True.
I love the Scarlet Pimpernel series, I think I started reading them when I was like 12 🙂
My dad and i read them together.
Do Hard Things is an incredible book! 🙂
I read Counted Worthy, and it inspired me to read Do Hard Things. Counted Worthy is an amazing book. So is Do Hard Things. I am so glad I read them! I also have read Before You Meet Prince Charming. Such good books!
So glad to hear, Lilly! Thanks for sharing!
