We started a few years ago reading Bartholomew's Passage. We had obtained it from a small bookstore not knowing it was part of a wonderful series. When we went looking for the other two books in the series, we were dismayed to discover that the entire series was out of print.
Much to our joy they began printing them again last year, starting with Jotham's Journey. This year the second book in the series has been re-released - Bartholomew's Passage. These are wonderful stories that intertwine with each other. Each character makes a brief appearance in the other books, exciting the children that they meet again someone they know. They meet up with a man who helps them connect to their families, and to the Christ child. There are questions and thoughts to ponder as you read each day. My children were disappointed at the end of each days reading, as it usually ended in a cliff-hanger :)
I must warn you that there is some violence involved, so if your children are sensitive you may want to read through the day's reading prior to reading aloud. I can't wait until next year's release of Tabitha's Travels. I hope you enjoy these journeys as much as my family has.

"You are the salt of the earth. . . You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and PRAISE YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN." Matthew 5:13 - 16
