Forty-acre swindle(George Washington Carver)
Sinking the Dayspring(John Paton)
The fate of the yellow woodbee(Nate Saint)
. . . Anyway, I could list a whole lot more, but I'm sure you get the idea!
My parents bought me a couple of these for my 10th birthday, and I've been reading/collecting them ever since! There are 40 in all, and I think I've read all but 2 of them. They are written for the 8-12 age range, but they are interesting enough to keep the attention of an older reader. And, like the description says, they are timeless lessons for young and old!
Have you ever read these books? If so, I'd love to hear what you thought of them. . .and what your favorite title was :)
I have read a lot of them...any of them I can get my hands on through the library, and I have LOVED all the ones I have read!! :) Five of the ones you mentioned above I have read, but the ones I haven't read...library, here I come again!! :P
ReplyDeleteI know this is a REALLY old post, but I just came across it and had to comment. I haven't read any of these books. I want to though(especially now!) I got Thieves of Tyburn Square from the library once but couldn't really 'get in to it'. Have you read that one? I want to read the one on Nate Saint.
ReplyDeleteYes! That one's really good! It's sad, but good! They all are!! :D
DeleteAnd the Nate Saint one is. . .amazing!
We read a book in school last year on Nate Saint. And the year before on Jim Elliot. Actually I've read many things on those 5 men killed by the Aucas. It's such a powerful testimony and story. :)
