I'll have to go back and re-read Joslin now, perhaps I could pencil in??Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448595911801738792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448734488938314646.post-72057367983234214542012-04-15T01:18:31.972+10:002012-04-15T01:18:31.972+10:00Ooops, I meant Wildsmith had the mistake about Mar...Ooops, I meant Wildsmith had the mistake about Mary, not Spirin! Sorry! Another older one that we just read from our library is "He is Risen" by Elizabeth Winthrop. It uses the KJV, so somewhat awkward, but the pictures are nice.<br /><br />I stopped reading Joslin's book last week when she wasn't using "Hosanna" at Holy Thursday. Really? Come on, do you have to change the text THAT much!!!!!Jennifer Gregory Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677077951743177153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448734488938314646.post-39630333568071601262012-04-14T10:46:46.739+10:002012-04-14T10:46:46.739+10:00Deanne

I know what you mean about text change, one of my dd's gets most upset.<br />I'll check out He is Risen, maybe for next year:)<br />It was your enthusiasm that prompted me to buy Spirin, just waiting for copy, will use pencil to correct.<br />I'd LOVE you to do a good, bad, ugly post. You have no idea how much time I spent at your blog reading your opinion before I bought these books.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448595911801738792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448734488938314646.post-72706717383225085412012-04-14T10:03:25.488+10:002012-04-14T10:03:25.488+10:00I haven't seen the Thorn Bush one.

I started to read it, but when the very first page had changes, I just wasn't happy. I found "He is Risen, Indeed" http://www.amazon.com/He-Risen-Indeed-David-Erickson/dp/0758609876/ was a better retelling. <br /><br />Love The Easter Story. Only one small area that we had to correct, he writes that Mary, the mother of Jesus went to the tomb! My son caught that one and kept changing it. <br /><br />Glad you like the Biffi. My boys are not tiring of those books at all.<br /><br />Do you think it would be terrible to write a post on the Good, bad and ugly of Lent and Easter books? I keep thinking I need to do one.Jennifer Gregory Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677077951743177153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7448734488938314646.post-39601919136892025972012-04-14T07:51:34.085+10:002012-04-14T07:51:34.085+10:00looks like some great books, I am doing the kids t...looks like some great books, I am doing the kids talk at church tomorrow- the story of the three trees!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683022126069845991noreply@blogger.com
