My YA Review

Based on Earley’s The Common Rule, this youth edition gives practical tips on developing new habits. He gives the background and reasons behind incorporating his Common Rule into everyday life.

While I don’t necessarily agree with every aspect of Earley’s rules they did make me think through some of the choices I’ve made in my life.

The Common Rule Youth Edition would be a great addition to a K-12 Christian school library. It is appropriate for middle school and up.

I received a complimentary copy of The Common Rule Youth Edition. This is my honest review.
