I have decided to go in a different direction with this blog. I’m going to begin a series called “Classics with Krista” where I discuss literary classics from a Christian worldview.

This has been a passion for years — My undergraduate degree is in Literature; I have been an English teacher for over a decade and a half, and I taught AP English at Christian schools for over half that time.

I’d love for this to become a forum where my posts are just the start of rich conversations about great works of literature.

So, to start this discussion: Where do we begin? I’d love your input as I choose which books to examine. I’ll list a few of my very favorite works below. Feel free to add yours in the comments!

• Till We Faces by CS Lewis
• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
• Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
• Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
• The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
• Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
• Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
• Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
• Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
• To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
