Heroes
of History
By Pat Iacuzzi
As a public school
teacher, now retired, I’m always on the look-out for a gift of knowledge to
pass on, and this was an absolutely fantastic find! So I thought I’d post this
information about a Wall Builders e-mail I received (an informative Christian
site about American historical events, the Constitution, and early American leaders)
promoting a wonderful series for youth ages nine and up. Some of you, especially
mothers of home-schooled children might already be familiar with these titles,
(total: 25 books in all, five to a group) a series of biographies of well-known
Americans, written by Janet and Geoff Benge and published by YWAM Publishing.
Though they may be written for children and young adults, I believe they could be
a great research tool for adults as well, especially about the lesser-known,
but significant names in American history.

The biographies about famous Americans series
includes books one through twenty in sets of five; another set, 6-10 about Christian heroes, names that may be unfamiliar to many,
and something you may no longer find in public schools. These books are an
opportunity for parents or grandparents to offer family members exciting
glimpses into the lives of our most notable Americans of the past. My rating: 5 Stars!
Besides Amazon, these sets can be ordered on the YWAC Publishing site:
