Book Recommendation

I am about three "parables" in to Peter Leithart's Wise Words, found here. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, particularly to families with youngish children (late elementary-early teen)--although adults will find much encouragement from it as well. Leithart has taken principles from the book of Proverbs and woven them into short stories or parables rich with Biblical imagery. This book has been a great read for our family worship times, and has stimulated some wonderful discussion within our family. Give this one two thumbs-up, five stars, and a drool mark!

By the way, Leithart also has a weblog, found here. It is a little on the scholarly side for my every-day usage, but his sermon notes and meditations are insightful and encouraging.
