Book Review: The Church History ABCs

About The Church History ABCs Dramatically converted on the stormy seas, a slave-trader-turned-abolitionist penned the best-loved hymn of the Christian faith. A church father was arrested and martyred for teaching the truth about Christ’s incarnation. Captured by pirates and shipped off to Ireland, a priest baptized thousands of pagans, from paupers to princes. Now who ever said church history was boring? The Church History ABCs is a fun way for kids to learn about great figures in Christian history. Twenty-six heroes of the faith march through the alphabet, boldly telling their stories in language children can understand. This wide range of characters—men and women from across the centuries, from all over the globe—reflects the breadth of church history and reminds children that these great figures of the past were living, breathing people who lived and died for the glory of God.

Review: For You They Signed by Marilyn Boyer

For You They Signed: The Spiritual Heritage of Those Who Shaped Our Nation by Marilyn Boyer How many signers of the Declaration of Independence can you name?  I could only name a few.  I wasn't born and raised in America so I had a good excuse :).  I am now an American and I want to teach my children the Christian heritage of this nation.  It is important to let them know that our Founding Fathers feared God, not men.  It is important for them to understand that the signers of the Declaration of Independence relied on God's principles, provision, and power.  It is important to teach them to value and preserve their freedom.  Our youth in general today tend to look at athletes, musicians, and celebrities as their heroes.  I desire to show my kids that Jesus is our #1 Hero.  And then godly Christ's followers whose lives demonstrate righteousness, faithfulness, devotion to God, integrity, moral values, and Biblical virtues are ...
