Our Mother Tongue by Nancy Wilson
The importance of the spoken and written word in Christian culture cannot be overestimated. In this English grammar guide, Nancy Wilson surveys the major concepts in English grammar for beginners at the late elementary and junior high level (even adults seeking a brush-up). Wilson avoids common, contrived sentences that serve merely to illustrate her point; instead, she uses many selections from Scripture and from great English writers which help to instruct the student through their content, style, and structure. In addition to a helpful format that highlights key definitions, punctuation issues, and important concepts, short historical sidebars tell the fascinating story of the development of English. She continues the traditional and challenging exercise of sentence diagramming, which trains students to quickly analyze the structure of any given sentence. The grammatical explanations, the logic of diagrams, and the rhetoric of her examples combine to make a fine textbook.Nancy Wilson has spent more than forty years as a pastor's wife and homemaker in Moscow, Idaho. She is the author of several novels, including True Companion, Building Her Home, and Praise Her at the Gates, and she contributes regularly to www.feminagirls.com. She has three married children and seventeen grandchildren with her husband Douglas.
