In this episode of Bookish Talks with Lia, I’m talking with the team behind Redeemed Reader, a ministry helping Christian parents and educators confidently choose books for children and teens.

We dive into their book, The Redeemed Reader: Cultivating a Child’s Discernment and Imagination Through Truth and Story, discussing:

• Why stories matter in shaping kids’ hearts and minds

• How to shepherd your children’s imaginations

• Tips for choosing books with both literary excellence and a biblical worldview

• Why Redeemed Reader engages with both Christian and secular books

Redeemed Reader’s mission is simple: “We’re reading ahead for you so that you can confidently choose books for your children and teens.” Their reviews, book lists, news, and resources equip parents and educators to raise thoughtful, discerning readers.

Whether you’re a homeschool parent, a teacher, or just a book-loving mom, this episode is packed with encouragement and practical guidance for raising readers who engage both heart and mind.
