50 true-life adventures of real people from the Bible-stories of good versus evil, right versus wrong, and heroes versus villains-and their life-shaping lessons that point children to God-the greatest hero of all!
The Bible is packed with stories of courageous people who loved and served God, and how He used them to do great things in the world. It is also filled with villainous people who disobeyed God and did horrible things. Heroes and Villains of the Bible encourages its readers to aspire to become great, courageous, and heroic servants of God, and reject all that is evil in the world.
With Heroes and Villains of the Bible, children will realize some of their favorite heroes aren't from the movies, but are real people from the Bible.
While we got the book with our son in mind, we quickly discovered the girls loved it too. This 242 page book is filled with beautiful full-color illustrations as well as stories that come straight out of Scripture. I love how the stories are told in a format that kids can easily understand and relate to and it ends with them figuring out if that Bible character was a hero or a villain based upon what they read. There is also a little box for discussion or further application to teach the kids how and why that story is so important and how they can apply the lesson learned from it to their everyday lives. We are currently using this at the beginning of our homeschool lessons each day and the kids are really enjoying it. This book would be perfect for children, make a great homeschool resource, a wonderful addition to a church library or even as a Christmas gift!
