But yes, it&#39;s a great idea!<br /><br />Booklogged - As I remember, there was some debate about the importance of believing in yourself PLUS practicing and cultivating your talent - not blind belief. I&#39;d personally hate for my girls to hesitate to take chances because they&#39;re afraid they might look foolish. Belief can only take you so far without discipline and skill, I&#39;d say. But skill and talent and discipline without belief won&#39;t get anyone very far. We agreed that it&#39;s true that believing in something bigger than yourself is really important, too!Darla Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-7164809204681240032009-08-27T18:36:55.995-04:002009-08-27T18:36:55.995-04:00Loved this little book and look forward to the next. I&#39;d like to know more about the discussion between your daughters on believing in self. I thought that was an important kernel to ponder.Bookloggedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817877016467777103.post-11790329874400967032009-08-27T15:14:22.673-04:002009-08-27T15:14:22.673-04:00I love the idea of a Chesterton biography for young readers! But yes, I can see why the modern references would feel out of place.Nymethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
