Collected Poems written by Charlotte Mason graduate
Bryana Johnson
Now available in paperback and KINDLE
"Bryana Johnson's first collection of poetry establishes her as a Christian poet who communicates the gutsy, bleeding beat of life and death...restoring our confidence that there are poets who labor over the word, and who have something to say that the world needs to hear." - Nathan Harms, Director, Utmost Christian Writers Foundation
"These poems are works of elegance...In a voice both compassionate and compelling, Bryana presents her readers with works that examine what it means to be human and how our very faults and foibles can, in the end, become instruments of grace." - Wendy Galgan, editor of Assisi

ReplyDeleteHow was it, btw? :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, we so wanted to do this! We are still going to go this weekend, but costumes just weren't possible this year. However, I will show DOB your picture and we will pretend. :-D
ReplyDeleteWould you say the movie is appropriate for a 6 and 11-year-old?
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed the movie! My husband especially liked it-and it takes a lot to impress him. It was closer to the book than the LOTR movies. My only two criticisms were that there were too many over the top special effects. It became unreal when everyone escaped death in unbelievable ways, over and over again. I felt it took away from the original realistic storyline, imo. My second beef was that there were so many nasty orc scenes in this one movie. Really gross. Personally, I wouldn't let my six year old watch it. Not only because of the violence, but because the story is so rich, a six year old will not understand the deeper conversation. I don't want my kids to miss the main themes and so I make them wait. We let our ten year old son watch it with us (after reading the book) and I felt we were pushing the limits.
ReplyDeleteYou all look wonderful! Thanks for the information about age-appropriateness.
ReplyDeleteMedieval Times?
