Must Read Children's Books

After speaking at a parenting class at church about Duncan's Journey, the new children's devotional through the 23rd Psalm I've had published, I was asked to provide a book list for other resources I found helpful.

First, here are some excellent family devotionals:

·       ABC Bible Verses by Susan Hunt  http://www.amazon.com/My-ABC-Bible-Verses-Hiding/dp/1581340052/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b
