2-Star Rating

Not Recommended

These books are not the worst. But they all have fundamental problems of quality or worldview.

Mostly they're still on our website because they've won awards or are part of curriculum lists. Some of them, like The Kingdom Series, are not books we'd personally recommend, but we're not morally opposed to carrying them. Plenty of people have enjoyed some of these books, and that's fine. But, in our honest opinion, you're better off reading something else.
