I'm looking for a good site to review books for my church's library. Most of the ones listed as "Christian" don't seem to have a true Christian perspective. The best one I've found so far is thrivingfamily.com (Focus on the Family) It gives a good review, but most of the children's books I'm wanting to evaluate aren't listed.
Any suggestions?

I am a member of Church & Synagogue Association (CSLA) and the professional, Monica handles all the reviews four times a year. To become a member, the cost is $50 for an individual membership with many benefits such as a conference every July. There is also ECLA with a similar format for $40 a year. Also, I take advantage of free reviews for Fiction. The website is FamilyFiction. You get updates each Tuesday as a 20 page magazine every month with reviews for adults, teens and children. I hope these options help. Yes, you may have to put out a bit of money to get some help, but are worth it. I also look at books that I may be interested in and see if my public library has a copy. That way, I can read the book for myself and offer my own review. Good Luck.
Thanks so much. Will definitely look into it. :)
Thank you. I will look into that.
I've been looking, too. I have the same problem.
