Reading Aloud vs. Just Reading

Friday, June 16th, 2006

I’ve just had a revelation revisited:
A couple of years ago Laurie mentioned a good book to read aloud: Bob, Son of Battle, by Alfred Ollivant. One day, scanning our bookcases I came upon it! I’d picked it up a library book sale, who knows how many years before! Praise God! Another year or so [...]

Dear Mrs. Bluedorn,
