K. Kaptein
Title:A Christmas Carol
Author:Charles Dickens
Summary:My favorite character in this book was Tiny Tim.I think the best part of this book was when Marley’s Ghost came to Ebenezeer Scrooge and scared him for the first time.The ghost made Scrooge realize that if he continued his dark life, not caring for others and hating the Christmas holiday, then he would end up like Marley and the other Ghosts who were chained up who had to travel the world.I learned from this book that Christmas is a time when kindness is shown.It is a time to show compassionate good will to men, even people we don’t know.It is a time to bring the truth of Christmas to all men.

Title:History of Dordt College
Author:Mike Vanden Bosch
Summary:The book had two important chapters on the AACS struggle Dordt faced in the late 60’s and 70’s.It was valuable to read about that and be reminded that each school must decide what the proper goal of Reformed Education is.Worthwhile for anyone to read who wants to understand dangerous educational philosophies that are proposed in today’s day and age.

was Entertaining entertaining and suspenseful but glamorized the occult.Those who were not wizards or sorcerers were labeled “Muggles” and characterized as “ignorant, mean, and overall not with it”.The book also implied that magic, witchcraft and the like were great as long as used for good.I would not recommend it to a young audience.
