Here you will find a running, exhastive list of recommended books. Books added in the current calendar month will be bolded. Books added in the last calendar month will be italized. List will include genre. Genre title will be underlined.
Genres include: Christian Non-Fiction, Christian Fiction, Biographies, Non-Fiction, Fiction, Historical Fiction, Science Fiction, Mysteries, Animal Stories, Fantasy, and Picture Books
Christian Non-Fiction and Christian Fiction are more likely to include strictly Christian material. Other genres may also include Christian material but will not necessarily be about Christian things. Biographies, for example, may contain both biographies of Christians and non-Christians. To put it another way, a book about Martin Luther's theology and philosophy would be in Christain Non-Fiction. A book about Martin Luther's life would be in Biographies.
You can find reviews and reasons for the recommendations at the Bookworms Library Resource page.
There will also be a rating system. The Overall rating system will be 5 stars. ***** 5 stars is excellent, 4 stars is good, 3 is so-so, 2 is bad, and 1 is very bad. However, there will also be a parenthetical rating which will make it easy to see the main problem with the book. This will be the opposite of the Overall rating. 5 is very bad, 4 is bad, 3 is so-so, 2 is mildly, and 1 is very mildly bad.The rating system will also include an age range. More on the rating system can be found on the: Bookworm's Library Resource page, Book Criteria post of : Date: Wed. May 25, 2011.
