Bookstore blowout

3 days ago we learn that the christian bookstore in our city was closing down and offering 40-60% off their shelvess. Guess what we did as a family? We all took a trip there. Dangerous proposition giving our family love for books. That bookstore was not one of our favorites given their rather liberal selection (good, deep, and theologically sound books are overrated these days and rare!), and on top of that, their rather high prices (I prefer to shop at CBD even if it means paying shipping fees, it still comes cheaper for us). Nonetheless, who passes out on such a sales, you never know what you can stumble upon. We did manage to find some, especially for the kids.
Here is what we got:

For me:
Creating an Intimate Marriage by Jim Burns (started already and loving it!)
Communication Key to your Marriage by Norman Wright
How to talk so kids can learn by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish
The culture-wise family by Ted baehr and Pat Boone
The Virtuous woman by Vicki Courtney
The Ultimate Guide to Homeschooling by Debra Dell (started already and loving it! as well)

For hubby:
The Other Six Days by Paul Stevens
The Messiah in the Old and New Testament by Stanley Porter
The Courage to be Protestant: Truth-lovers, marketers and emergents in the Postmodern World
Adopted into God's Family: exploring a Pauline Metaphor by Trevor Burkle
Why Bother being Good: The place of God in the Moral Life by John Hare
On the New Frontiers of Genetics and Religion by Robert Nelson
The Drama of Scripture: Finding our place on the Biblical Story by Craig Bartholomew and Michael Goheen
Creation by Hans Schwarz
Affirming the Apostles' Creed by J.I. Packer
A Confessing Theology for Postmodern Times by Michael S. horton

For the boys:

Writing & Rhetoric - A Writing Curriculum Review and a Giveaway

Curriculum choosing and buying can be a very daunting task. So many subjects to cover, so many curriculum to browse though, and so many companies to consider. Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued.
