Christian Book Wisdom and the Millers
By Mildred A. Martin

The Miller Family Series by Mildred A. Martin are a series of books that include the following titles:
Storytime with the Millers
Wisdom and the Millers
Prudence and the Millers
Missionary Stories with the Millers
School Days and the Millers

Our family enjoys reading stories aloud to each other. This series of books, by an Amish Mennonite author, is great for this activity. Children reading at approximately a 3rd grade level or higher might enjoy reading them independently.

Each book is a collection of character building and inspirational stories that involve the Miller family or others. Most stories include a verse of Scripture to refer to as the lesson of the story unfolds.

My kids love these books. The stories are sweet and innocent but have a definite lesson. You could use them to target specific character traits you want to build or you can just read them for enjoyment together. I like that there are a collection of stories in each book. This allowed us to pick them up and read in short bursts and still feel like we had received a full lesson.

The Missionary book is in a slightly different style. It details a variety of missionaries throughout history. Prudence and the Millers has an activity book to supplement it called Prudence and Your Health. Wisdom and the Millers also has a supplement workbook called Working with Wisdom. It is designed to build your child's reading comprehension, vocabulary, language and writing skills at approximately the third or fourth grade level.

If you are looking for sweet, Scripture based, character building stories I think you will love these books. I highly recommend them.
