I have always loved history and it has become my favorite subject to teach in our homeschool too. In the past year I was introduced to YWAM Publishing and the great missionary biographies that they offer. They also offer other Historical Heroes books Christian Living books, and even Creation Science homeschool books. These books are well written, easy to read, as well as entertaining and educational. I read them out loud to my children and all of them from the oldest at almost 12 to the youngest school ager who is 3 loved them. They were captivated by the word pictures and kept wanting to read more and more to find out what happened.
Not only are these books very educational on their own but if you love homeschooling without textbooks as much as we do and can’t get enough of unit studies YWAM Publishing also offers complete unit studies to accompany these missionary biographies. This is just another way that you can learn and explore history as it interests your family without the “confines” of a curriculum.
This 42-book series covers such amazing people as Corrie ten Boom, D.L. Moody and William Carey. These books truly capture the spirit of these wonderful individuals and bring their life’s goals, dreams, and personalities to life. Telling the story of their major life events from childhood, adulthood, marriage, or anything in between, these books will captivate your whole family and leave you in awe of these amazing people.
This week you can win the first set of these amazing missionary biographies which include books 1-5 from YWAM Publishing.
