Puritan Board Doctor
My husband and I have made summer reading lists (he's a teacher with summer off) and I would like to add some biographies to my list. I watched an interesting documentary on Jefferson and Hamilton the other night on PBS, which made me want to know more about Jefferson, so if anyone has a recommendation for that, please let me know!
I would also like a biography of a Puritan or other Reformed hero of the Faith. I would like it to read like fiction, that is, in a story format. (Do all biographies naturally do this? The few I have read do, but I am afraid some may just be facts, facts, and facts.) I would like to be entertained and informed as I read. Our old PB Librarian had a snippet about Jonathan Edwards on a recent blog entry, and I could read more about him, but I would really read about anyone, were the story good enough. I don't need their whole life story, but all the good parts. (No six volume treatises, please!)
