Heroes of History - By Pat Iacuzzi

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:
