Honey
for a Teen's Heart
Gladys Hunt
Honey for a Teen's Heart shows how good books can help you
and your teenager communicate heart-to-heart about ideas, values, and the
various issues of a Christian worldview. Sharing the adventure of a book lets
both of you know the same people, see the same sights, face the same choices,
and feel the same emotions. Life spills out of books -- giving you plenty to
talk about! But Honey for a Teen's Heart will do more than strengthen the bonds
between you and your son or daughter. You'll also learn how to help your teen
catch the reading habit and become a lover of good books. Gladys Hunt's insights
on how to read a book, what to look for in a book, and how to question what you
read will challenge you and your teenager alike. It's training for life! And
it's fabulous preparation for teens entering college.

Invitation
to the Classics
Os Guinness and Louise Gowan
From
Homer to Chaucer, Dickens to C.S. Lewis, each author receives a chapter that
includes a biographical sketch followed by a thorough summary of the classic(s)
he or she penned. The "Issues to Explore" sections at the end of each
chapter pose penetrating questions for interrogation of the text as well as
recommendations for further study depending on whether your scope is technical,
theological, analytical, critical, or biographical. Once you read Invitation to
the Classics, you may agree with C.S. Lewis that we must "keep the clean
sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only
by reading old books."
