HERO TALES

TIMELESS LESSONS FOR FAMILIES FROM THE LIVES OF GREAT CHRISTIANS

Each of the four volumes are drawn from the lives of 15 key Christian heroes and constitute a beautifully illustrated treasury of 45 exciting and educational readings designed to help foster Christian character qualities in families with elementary aged children. These inspiring collections presents a short biography followed by three true stories for each hero plus an applicable Scripture verse and discussion questions. Whether read together as family devotions or alone, the Hero Tales volumes are an ideal way to acquaint children with historically important Christians while imparting valuable character-based lessons (noted in italic after each story title).
