Summary

Carl and Todd sit down with a special guest—children's book author Simonetta Carr. A successful teacher, writer, and homeschooling mother of eight kids, Simonetta is undoubtedly busy but denies being any sort of "supermom." As Todd and Carl interview their guest, you'll learn about her passion for communicating doctrine through church history's powerful stories and dynamic characters. With several books already published and a few more in the works, her writings are a great resource not only for children but also for adults like Todd and Carl, who tend only to read books with lots of pictures.    Show Notes:Books by Simonetta Carrhttps://reformedresources.org/books/simonetta-carr/

Warm beer, William Shakespeare, and Gloucester Rugby Club are the three things that come immediately to my mind.

You know, I did play darts for my college in Cambridge.
