A love for reading is one of the most precious gifts that we can give children. It nurtures their imagination and creativity, lets them explore other worlds, and opens their minds to new truths and knowledge in appealing, inspiring ways. But how can we sort through thousands of children's books to discover the really worthwhile ones? Elizabeth Wilson offers us a newly revised, comprehensive guide to the very best in children's literature. Just as in the original volume, she comments on the tone and content of excellently written, captivating books in over two dozen subject areas. Hundreds of new titles have been added while retaining timeless classics and modern favorites-all of which respect traditional values. So that no matter what the children's ages are or whether they love fact or fiction, you can trust these books to share things that you can believe in and kids will delight in.

Recovering the Lost Art of Reading addresses these issues by exploring the importance of reading in general as well as studying the Bible as literature, offering practical suggestions along the way. Leland Ryken and Glenda Faye Mathes inspire a new generation to overcome the notion that reading is a duty and instead discover it as a delight.

▌편집자의 책 소개 “생각하며 느리게 읽는 독자는 영혼의 노래를 듣는다.” 편집 작업을 하다가 마주친 문장 앞에서 잠시 멈추었다. 그동안 영혼의 노래가 들리지 않았던 아니, 들을 수 없었던 이유가 평범하기 이를 데 없는 문장 속에 들어 있었다. 생각 없이 읽었고, 성급하게 읽느라 영혼이 들려주는 노래가 있다는 것도 알지 못했다. 시는 늘 어려웠고, 해서 읽어 내지 못했다. 알 듯 모를 듯한 시어(詩語) 앞에 주눅 들기 일쑤였고, 평론가가 풀어 놓은 해설을 옆에 두고서야 비로소 주억거릴 수 있었다. 생각을 더하고, 속도...
