YEAR 7
Substitutions
Devotional Reading: Mere Christianity is quite good and a classic, so read it, but I would skip Tozer and The Pursuit of Holiness and instead select something else.
For Joan of Arc, those titles are fine, but you might want to use Belloc's book on Joan of Arc instead as a read aloud.
