A Summer with the Moodys is a book that celebrates the adventures of everyday life in a Christian family! Through the years, we have seen a need for godly reading material for children - books that display good role models with families working together serving the Lord. A Summer with the Moodys was specifically written to fill that need.

A Summer with the Moodys follows a family throughout the summer. You will see them help a widow and her dog, Honey. Max, Mitch, and Mollie start two little businesses. With those businesses come some excitement! Little Maddie adds her spark of joy, too. Woven throughout the book is the Moodys' love for the Lord and their fun time together. Twenty-one black and white illustrations are included with the book.

A Summer with the Moodys is geared toward children ages seven through twelve and makes a great read aloud for younger children!

Comments from those who have read and loved the book!

It's not very often that my kids come to me and ask things like, "Mom, can we have Family Fun Night where we play games instead of movie night Friday?" or, after reading Scripture, "Can we each pick out a way to apply that?" Julie, mom

Sometimes I get choked up and nearly cry at the purity, honest, Christian example in it - every child should get to hear it. A Mom

I really liked the animals and the idea of Family Fun Night. I like how they did their Bible verses together. And I loved cooking with Mollie! I also liked how they took care of Mrs. Clifton and Honey. Kayla, 8

My girls loved this book, we read it in just one week. The next week when I got out a new book for our read aloud time they all protested and begged to read the story of the Moody family all over again! As a mother I enjoyed the "real life" aspects of the book, like the Momma taking needed naps and the children learning to be responsible for chores, ect. Melissa, mom

I like the fact that the book was about a Christian family who wanted to please God in all that they did. It made me want to serve God better. Courtney, 12

This book is outstanding! Abby, 7

It is a wonderful, wholesome story! My boys appreciated that it had unexpected turns and that you never really knew what would happen to the family next!!! April, mom

It was nice and refreshing to read a book about a family with wholesome
values and a love for the Lord. I wish there were more books like this out
there, thank you for writing this book! Jean, mom

I purchased Sarah's book A Summer with the Moodys as a Christmas gift for our children. The older children, ages 10 and 11, have been reading it aloud to our entire family in the evening, and they laugh and laugh. Thank you so much for a wonderful book. Please write a whole series. I would buy them all! Kathryn, mom

We wanted to write you, Sarah, just to let you know how much we loved your new book, A Summer With the Moodys. My son and I read it each night before bed and we enjoyed it immensely. We laughed alot. It is a very quality book for children to read or have read to them because of all the many instances where children relate to their parents and each other in a Godly fashion of respect and honor. We loved the book and we are telling all our friends about it. A mom and son

Oh THANK-YOU Sarah!!!!! This afternoon I looked out the kitchen window to find the driveway strewn with everything that should have been in the garage...and I knew immediately what was going on! Our 4 children ages 7, 5, 5 and 3 were blessing Daddy and me by cleaning the garage!!! They swept it spotless (the vehicles weren't in there) and then put everything back in it's place! A mom

I had to tell you, Sarah, that my son, who just turned 6 years old, read your entire book in just 2 days. (BTW, we were on a break from our usual hs routine) I had read aloud to him the first 7 chapters the first day and then lost my voice - he asked if he could continue reading by himself - I said sure (thinking he might last one or two chapters) but he read up to chapter 12 the first day and then finished the book the second day. Icouldn't believe it! He still keeps talking about the characters in the family as well as all the pets they watched. Wonderful book! Thanks! Laura, mom
