Light of Faith Resources :: Story Books & Audios
Books have a strong influence both on us and our children, contributing
a great deal to the shaping of our worldview. Humanistic books are
man-centered, and God is not even mentioned. Rather than offer “good
moral stories,” we have chosen to offer books that are overtly
Christian. We want to emphasize the unchanging reality of God, the
precious Gospel of Jesus Christ, the faithful testimony of the
Scriptures, and the witness of a transformed life. You will find that
books written for children in earlier centuries touch on subjects less
common in today’s children’s literature, such as the death of a parent
or child, religious persecution, and the consequences of sin. We
recommend that parents preview all of their children’s reading material
so as to be able to choose what is best for each individual child.
Organizing reading books into levels is a challenging task. Reading
levels may be more easily defined, but interest levels can vary widely.
We have loosely divided the books into four levels in order to assist
you in making your choices. We chose not to have an adult reading level
as adults are capable of reading from any level and may find their
favorites in several different levels.
READING LEVEL 1
Picture Books • Easy readers •
Read-alouds of interest to younger children
READING LEVEL 2
Full-length stories of a simpler nature
• An interest level that extends to all ages
READING LEVEL 3
For a confident reader • A more fully
developed story line • For a wide level of interests
READING LEVEL 4
Challenge to maturity • Special interest to young people • Because of
topics, some not suitable for younger readers
