Human beings like to carve our world into bite sized manageable bits: Years, seasons, months, weeks, and days. The first part of this bibliography, tracking time, looks at the ways we do that. The second is a list of <\/a>devotional calendars and almanacs; these are a type of publication that allows the reader to consider a verse from the Bible or a historical fact for each day of the year. Or choose a knitting project for each month, or a household chore for each season. Be creative and pick a new way to track time with books from our collection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
