Family Reading Booklist
FAMILY READING BOOKLIST Biblical evaluations of wholesome books for your children and family by David E. Pratte www.gospelway.com/family Family Reading Booklist © Copyright, David E. Pratte, 1994, 2013 Introduction One of the greatest needs for families today is wholesome entertainment. Television, movies, music, etc., are generally filled with immorality, violence, and just plain depression and me- diocrity. Entertainment, like other areas of a Christian’s life, ought to encourage and challenge him to be a better person (Phil 4:8). Most families could use help in finding that kind of entertainment. One excellent source of entertainment can be good books; but many books, especially those written more recently, are also filled with immorality. How do we find good books? The purpose of this booklist is to review some good books I have come across that you may be interested in having your family read. Some of these may be considered “classics,” others are books I just happened across. You may have some difficulty finding some of the books, but you should have enough information here that your library can obtain them by interlibrary loan. I have looked for wholesome qualities in the books such as: faith in God, family devotion, honesty, hard work, courage, helpfulness to others, etc. I have also sought to avoid negative qualities such as sexual explicitness, profanity, violence, drinking alcohol, smoking, gambling, evolution, irreverence toward God, and other forms of ungodliness. I have tried to note when I found such qualities in books, good or bad. Some problems I have considered serious enough to eliminate a book from the list, but in other cases I have kept the book on the list but warned you about a problem. -

Discursive Construction of the Ideal Girl in 20Th Century Popular American Girls' Series by Kate Ha
“Too Good to Be True”: Discursive Construction of the Ideal Girl in 20th Century Popular American Girls' Series by Kate Harper A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2013 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Georganne Scheiner Gillis, Chair Heather Switzer Lisa Anderson ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2013 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the discursive construction of the trope of the ideal girl in popular American girls' series in the twentieth century. Girls' cultural artifacts, including girls’ literature series, provide sites for understanding girls' experiences and exploring girlhood itself as a socially constructed identity, yet are often overlooked due to their presumed insignificance. Simple dismissal of these texts ignores the weight of their popularity and the processes through which they reach such status. This project challenges the derisive attitude towards girls' culture and begins with the assumption that these cultural texts do ideological work and therefore require consideration. The dissertation traces the development of the ideal and non-ideal girl over time, taking into account the cultural, political, and economic factors that facilitate the production of the discourses of girlhood. I include analysis of texts from six popular American girls' series as primary texts; visual elements or media productions related to the series; and supporting historical documents such as newspapers, "expert" texts, popular parents' and girls' magazines, film; and advertising. Methodological approach incorporates elements of literary criticism and discourse analysis, combining literary, historical, and cultural approaches to primary texts and supporting documents to trace the moments of production, resistance, and response in the figure of the ideal girl.
