Be alert as you read books with your kids for any themes that echo of Christian truth.

So any situations where there's sacrificial love, people laying their lives down for another,

mercy, anything about hope in the darkness pointing to our hope in the new heavens and the new earth,

anything that even explores in a way you can talk about with your kids, the reality of sin, any of those kinds

of echoes, just be alert to them. There are just echoes of the gospel that you'll find in

any book that's well told. And so keeping your alert to those themes and when they come up,

pause and reflect back. What does this remind

you of? Katie Butler is an author who writes regularly about faith, medicine, and the power

of great stories. She's written many books from Crossway, including the Lamplight series of

Decide As You Go Adventures for Kids and the Dreamkeeper

Saga.

Corey Johnson is the founder of Good Book Mom, a ministry that reviews children's books

from a biblical worldview.

Katie and Corey are the co-authors of a new book called Stories Woveen in Silver, pointing

kids to the gospel through children's literature

from Crossway. Well, Katie and Corey, thank you so much for joining me for the Crossway podcast.

Thanks for having us. Thank you so much for having us to that.

And many of those books, especially recently, have been books for kids.

And they're just wonderful, the Dreamkeeper saga and a more recent series called

The Lamp Light Series.
