I actually got to read all three of ...Hey Kaitlin!<br /><br />I actually got to read all three of the Peleg Chronicles in a day or so over Christmas break - you are definitely right about the cliffhanger - in both the first and second volumes! They were REALLY excellent - I absolutely loved all of the biblical themes woven throughout, and was really challenged in several areas as I read! It also gave new meaning to the book of Job, since that was the only inspired Scripture they had back then - amazing lessons were learned from that one book, and we have 66!<br /><br />God bless you :)Grace Mieczkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606684876757200856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876889288578310052.post-60232529554359164712013-12-20T21:02:55.958-08:002013-12-20T21:02:55.958-08:00(The server in Texas is a bit goofy right now...so...(The server in Texas is a bit goofy right now...so if this replies ten times...that's why!)<br /><br />Grace--YES! I know what you mean! It's not about introspection, but magnifying Jesus. <br />Oh, fun! I've only read the first one ("Foundlings"--because it was free!)--but it was completely permeated in Scripture. I was really impressed! There were definitely some intense/slightly scary parts, but it was on-the-whole a satisfying read. (It can be so hard to find good Christian fantasy! This was pretty bueno!) ...But, it DOES have a cliff-hanger-of-an-ending...so if it goes on your list, you'll probably want to make time allowances for the sequels, too. :)<br /><br />Elanee--your comment brought Psalm 16:11 to brain! :) You've said it all so perfectly...I can only add "YES!" <br />Oh, gracious. I hope you don't feel lost-in-time-travel too long! It's completely awkward over here, because I'm still referring to 2010 as "last year," and STILL dating papers as "2012." :)Kaitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00067938477484323153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876889288578310052.post-91198491592014366792013-12-18T11:16:01.490-08:002013-12-18T11:16:01.490-08:00Thanks for sharing Kaitlin!

He is truly amazing, to not only control and create everything, but also to care about us so much that He died to save us from our sins. And who are we to deserve such kindness? Oh for a greater dose of great fullness to Him who alone can satisfy our deepest longings. <br />P.S. Same here about feeling like you're still in November. I really am not prepared for Christmas so soon. I feel like we should still be looking forward to Bible Bee:) Elanee https://www.blogger.com/profile/12081381036737173413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876889288578310052.post-91020405321301192012013-12-18T06:20:08.030-08:002013-12-18T06:20:08.030-08:00Amen!

I continually have to be reminded that growing in Christ is not to find out more about my "inner self", but to learn more about my infinite God!<br /><br />And.... our family owns the Peleg Chronicles (actually, Melody and I gave them to some of the kids as Christmas gifts last year), but I have yet to read them :) They might make it onto that elusive "To Read" list for 2014!Grace Mieczkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606684876757200856noreply@blogger.com
