Life on The Ridge
Before texting, video games, and busy calendars, there was life on the ridge - and it was pure gold.
In this warm, funny, faith-filled storybook, thirteen-year-old RJ invites you into a world where ten cousins meet every morning under the same big oak tree, ready for whatever the day brings.
And the days bring plenty. There are baseball games with a treasured Mickey Mantle bat, a campfire that gets a little too big, a three-wheeler ride that ends in the rock pile, and a prize pig that never should have been lassoed. There are Sunday mornings at Grandma's table - gravy, scrambled eggs, and cathead biscuits so soft they melt in your mouth - followed by church, memorized Bible verses, and lessons that stick for a lifetime. Through every scrape and belly laugh, RJ's big, close-knit family shows what it looks like to love God, love each other, and live out the Golden Rule.
Written by children's pastor Darci LaRue and beautifully illustrated in a nostalgic, hand-painted style, Life on the Ridge is a heartfelt celebration of family, faith, and the simple joys of childhood. It's a perfect read-aloud for parents and grandparents who want to give their children something wholesome, funny, and rich with meaning - and a gentle reminder to gather around the table, tell stories, and enjoy one another again.
Perfect for fans of wholesome Christian children's books, nostalgic Americana, and stories about cousins, faith, and growing up in the country, this is a book families will return to again and again.
Pull up a chair under the oak tree. Life on the ridge is waiting - and you won't want to leave.
A wholesome Christian read-aloud for ages 6-10 (and the grown-ups who grew up on ridges of their own).
