Three Books of Enduring Influence
Rebecca Writes about three books that have had an enduring influence on her life, books that she comes back to and that have shaped her thoughts over a long period of time. I found this to be a very difficult exercise, but here are my choices—quick, before I change my mind.
1. Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
2. The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
3. Teach Your Own by John Holt

I have read some of Holt’s other books, How Children Learn and How Children Fail, but I’m not sure if I’ve read this one. If so, I guess it’s been so long that I’m ready to read it again. Anyway, I love his books, so I’ll be checking this one out today and taking it home. Thanks, Sherry!
