I saw this series mentioned in a recent post and was looking at their website.

I would be interested in comments pro and con from anyone who has used this series.

Thanks,
Sandy

I haven't used it with my kids, but I have read several books from the series and am SO impressed. I would love to find some local people who were interested in doing a book study on them -- thought-provoking to say the least.

...When No One Sees: The Importance of Character in an Age of Image and Steering through Chaos: Vice and Virtue in an Age of Moral Confusion. These are both excellent books, and they have led to lots of thinking and meaningful discussions. The books are approachable for students as young as 13yo, and they become truly priceless when the reading is accompanied by discussion with a parent and/or other family members. Os Guinness draws from history and from literature to help modern students gain perspective about our own culture and to reach for values that span the ages rather than being held captive by the time in which we live.

I would really like to study two other books in the series with my youngest child: Doing Well & Doing Good: Money, Giving, and Caring in a Free Society and Entrepreneurs of Life: Faith and the Venture of Purposeful Living. Has anyone read these?

Thanks for the feedback. I see my library has one of these, so I'll check it out that way before buying.
