Hero Tales Vol II: A Family Treasure of True Stories from the Lives of Christian Heroes
Hero Tales Vol II: A Family Treasure of True Stories from the Lives of Christian Heroes contains true, character-building stories about Christian heroes. Written to introduce students to models of Christian virtue, each tale will inspire. Furthermore, children find encouragement to be heroes for Christ themselves.
Each chapter includes a highlighted character trait, appropriate Scripture, the story, and several follow-up questions about the tale.
The Hero Tales volumes contain a larger font and give the appearance of being appropriate for a young audience. However, we find that the stories in Volumes II and III include persecution. These difficult issues much better suit an older, more mature audience. The tales inspire and build faith, in spite of hardships suffered.
When interwoven within the chronology of the thread of history in Missions to Modern Marvels, these tales will provide students with true heroes as seen in God’s eyes. We will use many of the stories, but not all, of both volumes of Hero Tales II and III (with the exception of some stories from time periods that we have already covered in previous guides).
A Closer Look at Hero Tales
With special permission from the authors, Heart of Dakota obtained a special reprint of Hero Tales Vol. II and Vol. III. You’ll enjoy reading and rereading these volumes, time and time again. Plus, any unused stories fit well in the Biography genre of Drawn into the Heart of Reading, so you won’t waste any of these excellent stories.
This list includes the heroes that the students will be reading about in Vol. II: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jim Elliot, Festo Kivengere, Eric Liddell, Watchman Nee, John Perkins, Amanda Smith, Corrie Ten Boom, and Cameron Townsend.
Each person within the volume typically contains an introduction and three stories. All are narrative and unforgettable! It is our prayer and hope that these stories will challenge your students to live out their Christian faith in their everyday lives beginning right where they are planted.
- Note: This book is scheduled for the student to read independently.
