Reading for reading’s sake is akin to watching TV for TV watching’s sake. You should eat good books, not just any books. Use our site to find the best of the best – edifying, entertaining, challenging reads for adults, and even more importantly, for your kids. There’s so much propaganda aimed at these little ones, during their early, undiscerning years. You’d have to carefully sift through Amazon, or your local library, to find them books that aren’t half bad. Or you can spend time here and find what’s awesome!
So what makes our book review site different?
We’re looking through a Christian lens for what is praiseworthy, with a particular emphasis on steering clear (with only the rarest of exceptions) of anything that takes God’s Name in vain. See here for more on how we evaluate books.
These are all recommendations. Some sites review the latest, both the good and the bad. We’re passing on only our favorites, no matter what year they were published (just so long as they are still in print). That means parents won’t find many of these on local bookstore shelves, but you will be able to reserve them at your library or find them on Amazon.
If this is your first time to RP’s Recommended Reads, the best place to start would be these articles:
Find more articles in our “Book lists” and “Articles” sections below, where you can also find individual reviews grouped in categories for children, teens, and adults. So take a meander… and if you like what you see, let others know!
