Living Books for Valentine's Day

Living Books for Valentine's Day

In February, many of us enjoy cutting out pink hearts and telling our families how much we love them. Our family has slowly built a collection of books we enjoy reading through this time of year to help us build on our understanding of love and it's practical applications. 

 

If you are searching for a way to learn as a family about Valentine's Day and to direct your children to understand what God says about love, check out our Beloved Guide which takes families on a 5 day journey studying the 4 biblical loves. 

The books shared below are used in our guide as well!

Thank you for these recommendations! I have a good handful of these I purchased a couple years ago. I’d like to add some more to our library when able, but for now will utilize the library.

Thank you for thinking of your audience. I enjoy reading your list of books for kids. I am trying to instill the love of reading in my two grandchildren. Your selection makes it so much easier.
