Anne Bradstreet: Christian Biographies for Young Readers
Anne Bradstreet was the first published poet in America. She arrived in the American colonies in 1630 and lived an often difficult pioneering life. Despite the disapproval of people who thought that only men should write and study, Anne expressed her thoughts in beautiful poetry. Today’s students of Anne’s poetry appreciate her descriptions of early American colonial life and her honest accounts of her struggles and joys. For Christians, Anne’s poems are much more than this, encouraging them to recognize the beauty of God’s creation, His faithfulness, and His unfailing promises.

The Poems of Anne Bradstreet
$11.50A real sense of calm pervades Bradstreet’s poetry. She has genuine affection for the things she writes about, whether that be family, or the vistas of nature, or her husband, or the “pleasant things” lost in the house fire, and so in no way does she come across as a pinched ascetic. But neither does she come across as someone who is in frantic pursuit of worldly goods.
Anne Bradstreet came to fame when someone published her poetry as The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America. Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who had crossed the ocean to help found the new colony in America. She lived on the frontier and lived a fairly uneventful life loving her husband and children. However, she was also a well-educated and imaginative woman whose poetry continues to be admired to this day. This collection of her poems is a forgotten classic that we would be well advised to read.

Anselm of Canterbury: Christian Biographies for Young Readers (Simonetta Carr)

Through Anselm’s story, Simonetta Carr teaches what life was like in medieval Western Europe. Young readers will learn of the tempestuous relationship between church and state during this era and the significance of Anselm’s writings about why God became man and the relationship between faith and reason.
