Jotham's Journey- Has anyone read it?

[gratefulmother]

I saw this book at the bookstore today and thought it might be a good holiday read aloud. Does anyone have any thoughts on it? Thanks!

But have long heard good things about it here. I hope to buy it for Advent this year!

We have read it twice at Christmas for Advent and we also have another one in this series. We love these books. I recommend that you snatch it up if it wasn't a high price because these books are out of print right now and almost impossible to find at a decent price.

Jotham's Journey is back in print! http://www.amazon.com/Jothams-Journey-Storybook-Arnold-Ytreeide/dp/0825441749/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224990510&sr=1-1

We have read each of the three stories, Jotham's Journey, Bartholomew's Passage, and Tabitha's Travels. We pick one each year for Advent. I read someplace last year, but cannot find it now, that if Jotham's Journey does well the others will be printed.We really enjoy them and plan to continue the rotation.

Warning: The story is suspenseful and there is some real action. There is a scary character and my dd did not want to hear this before bed when she was younger. Last year when she was 6 she was ok with it. My ds9 has enjoyed it since he was 5.

We have enjoyed all three of the books in this series.

That is great girligirlmom! I am so excited to see that. We already own Jotham's Journey and Bartholomew's Passage. I wish I could get Tabitha's Travels. I decided to search for TT at Amazon. Did you see the prices on that one? :ohmy: The cheapest price was $74.99 and went up to $140 before I decided I couldn't read anymore LOL.

I think I might buy a couple of copies of Jotham's Journey to give away to help with the sales of that one so they might print more of the others.

There is some very suspenceful story lines in it. I have boys so they thrive on that but I can see girls and even some younger boys or sensitive boys having trouble with some of it.

Thanks to these boards we have read and loved Jotham's Journey for the last 3 years during Advent. It never gets old.
I am so looking forward to getting my hands on the next two someday.

It's a great holiday read- along with the other 2!:001_smile:

Love it here. It's been a tradition since my oldest was in Kindergarten, and I see us reading one of the books from the series annually for a *very* long time.

There is a "devotional" component at the end of each day's story. The first time we read through them, I just read the story. We're now on our second go-round, and I will read the devotional myself and make it more appropriate for the age of my kids. But this is just us. They are wonderfully fun and exciting and well loved here.
