Description

Shoshana loves cooking so much that she basically lives in the kitchen. She knows just how to make and prepare the food to her family's liking, especially her father's. When her family hosts a feast for a special guest, an accident sends Shoshana fleeing to Kadesh, a City of Refuge. When she arrives there, she works alongside several other girls in a kitchen with tools much more efficient than the ones she was used to; however, she wants nothing more than to be back in her own home and kitchen. To make matters harder, she has to learn how to get along with the other girls in the kitchen. Read about Shoshana's journey of fear, desperation, and growth in this read that will put you in the shoes of a young woman living in the Old Testament times. The beginning of each chapter feature's a Bible verse that relates to Shoshana's story. Bible versions quoted are as follows: New King James Version, English Standard Version, and the King James Version. 159 pgs, pb. ~ Brianna

Publisher's Description of Shoshana's Refuge
Shoshana's Refuge explores the struggles of a young Israelite woman during the reign of Solomon. Traditions, expectations, and the laws of the God of Jacob rise up like a prison around Shoshana, but she takes refuge in her favorite places: her kitchen and the top of the hill where she feels the breeze in her hair. When an accident forces her to take refuge under the law of God and away from all that she loves, she struggles to see God's grace in her circumstances. Will she find freedom among God's people? Or will she seek refuge somewhere else?

We personally own a lot of these books. Many of them are among our children's all-time favorites. That's saying a lot, since my children are voracious readers. There's such variety in this line - they run the gamut from biography to fantasy, but consistently enrich. It is indisputable that every book you read becomes a little part of you. Knowing this, we want to be careful not to fill our children's heads and hearts with objectionable, disturbing or useless material. Many of our customers are Christian homeschoolers, as we are. Even among this group, parents differ in the degree of restriction or criteria they apply in selecting materials they consider appropriate for their children, depending upon their particular convictions in this area. However, we feel confident that even the most convicted parent would have no qualms about this thoroughly Christian series. While books in the Light Line have a "strong Christian message," they are not "preachy." Rather, they skillfully entertain while presenting that message, with vivid characters and strong, exciting story lines. The biographies are among the best my children have read - they have been particularly stirred by With Daring Faith, the story of missionary Amy Carmichael. Series are listed first in each section, followed by single books listed alphabetically.
