Books

Karen’s bio on Goodreads:

Please visit my YouTube channel, especially my project “Great Books for Thinkers and Seekers.”

I seek to glorify God with all that I am and do. I am Paul’s beloved wife of 36+ years. We’ve enjoyed many adventures in reading together, starting with the Chronicles of Narnia. We continue a tradition birthed in Sculley Academy (our home school of 23 years) – “Funky Fridays” – a beautiful treasure box with eclectic books, whatever strikes my fancy, a mixture of fiction & non-fiction, light-hearted & serious, informative & inspiring, devotional & dramatic. Once a week we set aside an afternoon during which I read aloud a portion from each of the approximately 20-30 books inside. We always come away with renewed minds & encouraged hearts!

I am blessed to be mum to 6 precious adult children, each one precious & unique! They’re all readers of one sort or another, diverse in interests & preferences. Some are fellow bookaholics, and I take full credit for that lol 🙂

My parents were professors & teachers, so I’ve been surrounded by books since birth. I learned to read at age 3 and have been devouring books ever since. They are my constant companions and I am “old school” in enjoying real books. They double as weights for me to lug around now that my children aren’t tiny anymore.

I love to find new treasures (recommended by trusted friends or just stumbled upon in a library, bookstore, or thrift shop) as well as old. Life’s too short to just read any old thing, so I choose my reading matter very carefully. (See my website for a long list!) I love encouraging and inspiring others to seek truth and learn to think with discernment. May my life and my reading materials encourage and inspire you, especially if you’ve read your way through this profile 🙂 I’d love to hear from you!
