That is awesome that your family read the Bible together each night. I wish more families would be that dedicated.
ReplyDeleteI find it outstanding that someone else was touched by the same book as me. A child called it was so moving and sad. I look at it from many different points of view and wonder how anyone could have turned a blind eye to David. So glad someone else has read the book.
ReplyDeleteMandy,
ReplyDeleteYou mentioning that your family read the Bible together each night reminded me of when my mom and me use to read Bible Bedtime Stories before I went to bed. I use to love it. I like you also was touched by the booked A Child Called It. It is very sad to think that some kids actually have to go through that. That book is a good eye opening book.
My parents also read the Bible to me each night when I was younger. I had a children's Bible that was easy for small children to understand. I also loved being read to when I got into school.
