Danny & I have really enjoyed reading these 2 books together this last month.
“Dangerous Jounery” is a child’s version of Pilgrims Progress. Here’s a review by Terry Delaney, who also read it to his 4 yr old son. It’s recommended for 8 yrs old on up but Danny really enjoyed it and it prompted hours of discussion & questions.
“Hunkin did a masterful job of choosing the pertinent sections from the original Pilgrim’s Progress and placing them alongside the masterful artistic renditions of each scene. The artwork in and of itself is worthy of the price of the book and might even be able to tell the story just by looking at the pictures.”
“Squire and the Scroll” is a beautiful allegory, again with gorgeous illustrations. The author has a whole website with instructions on how to use this book along with squire ceremonies, knights codes etc.

It’s so important to draw attention to reading, and attract reluctant readers to it,especially boys.
I grew up as a reluctant reader, in spite of the fact that my father published over 70 books. Now I write action-adventures & mysteries, especially for tween boys, that avid boy readers and girls enjoy just as much.
My blog, Books for Boys http://booksandboys.blogspot.com is dedicated to drawing attention to the importance of reading.
Keep up your good work.

Thank you for your comment, I enjoyed the material on your blog and will definitely bookmark it for future info. I’m sorry to hear about your niece’s illness and will be praying for her healing & recovery. God bless you!
I just ordered that book for Kyle and am hoping it gets here before our camping trip on Friday.
Thanks for the suggestion.
