Beneath the Cat's Claw

  This Series of Books Is Fabulous!

Wow! This series of books is fabulous! After our family finished “A Young Historian's Introduction to World View,” we read these books aloud. As we turned the pages with anticipation, my children and I were truly “engaged.”

All the novels are filled with twists and turns. Oh, the excitement! Oh, the suspense! The characters encounter danger, and face difficult decisions. As they act on their worldviews, we see how their circumstances “flesh out,” and have the unique opportunity to understand why the characters do what they do.

By the way, don’t expect the characters in the novels to become Christians—they don’t. That’s because these books were written for the specific purpose of worldview training. As such, they initiate family discussion about the importance of worldview, and why people of different worldviews make different choices.

One of the things our family appreciates most about this series is that the various supporting characters in the books are neither predictable nor stereotypical. Instead, they are like real people—some are benevolent while others are mean. Some are faithful to adhere to their religion while others are somewhat unfaithful.

The “Young Historian’s Worldview” study and these four books promoted a great deal of thoughtful discussion around our house, and strengthened our children’s Christian worldview.
