Book SynopsisAn Exciting and Inspiring Collection of Vividly Told Stories of Christians Who Really Made A Difference. Half a Million of the Series Sold! Five Books in the Box Great for 9 – 14–year–olds Stories for Both Girls and Boys Box Sets Make an Excellent Gift for When a Single Book is Not Enough It is quite obvious that the USA has produced some incredible human beings who have in their own way, changed, or affected the world. Well, this is also true when it comes to Christianity. Here are five very different people who in their own way, left their mark, not only on America but the world. With a passion to reach the Ecuadorian Auca Indians, an indigenous tribe considered dangerous to outsiders back in 1950, a small team, starting slowly with gift parcels, then meeting with one or two, ended up being murdered by those they were trying to reach. Just when it looked like it was all over, it is hard to believe what happened next. We then learn about a woman who was to become a respected author and speaker, and was married to one of the team above, but was in no way in his shadow. In fact, she was to see and be involved in what came about because of their deaths, and it was, and still is, amazing. Then we find out about a young woman who, inspired by the early aviators, became a pilot, and served during WW2, along with many unsung heroines, ferrying planes and supplies around the country to help the war effort. She would eventually go on to help found what would become Missionary Aviation Fellowship, an incredible organisation to this day. There are many evangelists in the world today – why not discover if one from the past was very different, especially one whose name is on many Christian organisations to this day. Lastly, we learn about a very educated and privileged young woman from the 19th century who felt called to China for most of her life. There is an annual offering for missions each year in her name, which has so far raised 1.5 billion dollars! Explore the lives of these Americans who certainly left their Christian mark on our world. You Will Meet… Jim Elliot – He forfeited his own life to bring the good news to the Auca Indians. Read the story of Jim’s love for a fighting people and his fight for a loving God. Elisabeth Elliot – From the jungles of the Amazon, to the lecture halls and radio shows of the culture wars, Elisabeth was a vibrant role model for godly women all over the world. Betty Greene – Betty Greene was one of the early women pilots. After WWII, Betty helped to set up an organisation that used planes to help mission work – and she was its first pilot. D. L. Moody – D. L. Moody was the outstanding evangelist of his time – in his pioneering endeavour and fervour Moody has become an enduring figure of stature and inspiration. Lottie Moon – Lottie Moon was a dark–eyed, raven–haired mischief at school. Yet she went to China as a missionary to share the good news of Jesus with thousands of people.

Book SynopsisThe Bible teaches us that God always does what He says He will do. It is a great comfort to know, that God’s plans and purposes are not changed by men and women who make wrong or foolish choices. In a way that we cannot understand, God rules over everything, so that His promises are always fulfilled. From the first wrong choice made by Adam and Eve throughout the Bible we meet many people who chose well or who made foolish decisions. This book will help you to focus on God’s Word and His wisdom guiding you in your own day to day choices. Features: 44 devotional readings with scripture references and thinking further questions. Trade ReviewThis book can help children choose well and, most importantly, trust in the God who redeems our choices—even the bad ones—as he unfolds his beautiful plan. -- William Boekestein (Author of ‘Ulrich Zwingli:Shepherd Warrior’)Jean Stapleton has compiled a clear and thought–provoking devotional for children contrasting Biblical characters who chose things such as forgiveness, obedience, or suffering with characters who sadly chose things such as deception, greed, or compromise. This book is an excellent aid for helping children evaluate situations they may face and understand the agency they possess as a child of God to choose what will be God–honoring. -- Heather Winslow LeFebvre (Author of ‘The History of Christmas: 2,000 Years of Faith, Fable and Festivity’)

Book SynopsisAn illustrated reader retelling the story of three friends standing strong against bowing down to King Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue even though they would be thrown into a fire. But God cares and stood with them, helping them to have courage. A reassuring story to help young children talk to parents or those who care for them about situations when they need courage to face hard things, new situations and doing the right thing, and that God can help make us brave. The 'God cares' series provides a Biblical approach to discussing emotions and behaviour with children to nurture an attitude of wellness. Children at different ages approach things differently in their stages of emotional development, so this series works at two different levels: illustrated Readers aimed at 5-7 year olds and Chapter books aimed at 8+ years. Please note that children progress at different reading abilities and stages of emotional development so the age ranges are only a guide for parents and carers. The Bible stories are retold reflecting on the emotions and encourages children to discuss and relate this within their situations. Sections at the back provide a reflective space for children and practical advice for parents and carers. Debbie Duncan, author of The Art of Daily Resilience and Brave, is a nurse and a teacher, and mother of four children. She has considerable insight into what constitutes resilience and bravery: the ability to cope, to stay on course, to bounce back. In her books she considers what is required for physical, mental, and spiritual durability, interweaving biblical teaching, prayers, with personal anecdote and sound advice. This she now applies specifically to support parents and carers raising children.
