We read a ton of books in our house and lately we’ve been reading some of the books from the Terrestria Chronicles. An allegorical series, The Terrestria Chronicles is a series of 7 books “written with a three-fold purpose: to honor Jesus Christ as King, to challenge young readers to love and serve Him, and to teach them to guard their hearts for Him.
