My oldest DS just started Res to Ref, and he was reading from Peril and Peace yesterday.... He brought me the book and narrated a portion and then said,"Mom, the next part you JUST have to read yourself... i can't do it, it is just too amazing." So he had me read the portion where Polycarp is martyred, which had made a strong and wonderful impression on him.... and just a few hours later he went to church and heard a youth guest speaker preach on being bold and fearless for Christ. He is going to a youth spring break overnight retreat to hear this same speaker preach tomorrow night. I cannot adequately describe the excitement in his eyes, or the joy of this momma's heart.

I love how God weaves HOD into our lives, and I am so thankful for the way Carrie allows God to use her to create a tool to bring His living Word into our hearts.

That's wonderful! My ds is dyslexic so I have to read the history assignments to him. We both had tears streaming down our cheeks when we read that passage. It is incredibly moving.

I could not agree more! What a special memory you and your ds have from that day together! :D
