The Why Behind CPLibrary
As our culture has changed, so too have youth books changed…a lot.
Public education & libraries have changed too…but not always in great ways.
So, we did something about it! We built a unique library where YOU CAN BORROW the best, thrilling, engaging, inspiring youth books ever written…on every worthy & academic subject…and all morally safe!
They’re rare and valuable…but available to YOUR children & teens!
“Why read at all? It’s the Video Age, isn’t it?”
Ahh, the elephant in the room! Language is a special gift from God for us humans, created in His likeness. He IS the Word, and He’s shown us that language is His key transport of ultimate truth to the ultimate soul for ultimate purpose. The world may grab your child’s retina, and pretend learning is merely data retention in the material cerebrum, but God’s World says the immaterial “heart” is the real target of education.
What we first grasp, at a spiritual level, in every sphere (theology, government, law, art, science, language, mathematics, music, etc.) is what our brain then harnesses, permanently (not just “for the test”).
How do we transport the greatest truths to our offspring’s souls? Lyrical language and moving art! These are the hallmarks of living books, whereas most books today are only fragmented factoids and machined clip-art. Don’t miss this! Because, God made rich language & art to be carriers of immaterial content to the immaterial soul of your kids/teens!
We read because we’re created in God’s image.
We read because we’re alive.
We read so we can feed and think deeply.
We read because we crave profound meaning, purpose, and principle.
The Greatest Generation (who fought World War II) were raised on such books. Thus, in crisis, they did mighty things to rescue millions. Your kids likewise need to be fueled to unshakably offer truth in all spheres to this current culture. That’s your mission, and ours! Join the Children’s Preservation Library community…doing this together!
“…What is more important than having all the resources, though, is the confidence I have in letting my children use them. It is much different when we go to the public library where I must take time to carefully screen out harmful or junky books. This is a big deal to me! There is so little time to read, and so few years my kids are at each reading level. I want them to have the very best literature, not just the currently popular books at our public library. What is the Children’s Preservation Library for but to make available to our children the very best books–in both content and style?”
