Friends, there are so many important things our kids
can learn from Christian history. Studying men and women of the Christian faith
and the movements of the Church gives depth and weight to history, allows kids
to develop real-life heroes, and gives children a better understanding of the
sovereignty of God.
Christian history is one of my very favorite things
to study personally, as well. I thought I’d make you a great, big, ENORMOUS
list of Christian history books. They’re sectioned by age range, and then by
historical time period. We’ve used these resources ourselves, and I highly
recommend them!
I’d also be honored if you’d take a look at my new
youth biography, When Lightning Struck! The Story
of Martin Luther. It’s perfect for middle school and high school
students, and a great read aloud for 3-5th grade as well. The book publishes
November 1st, and I’d be delighted (DE-light-ed) if you’d pre-order it!
Without further ado, here’s my ginormous list of
Christian history goodness.
