Recently, the kids and I were given the opportunity to review another outstanding book from the Christian Heroes: Then & Now series from YWAM Publishing. We've read and own a few of the other book titles offered from YWAM Publishing. We've enjoyed all the books we've read. They make a wonderful addition to any family's library.
YWAM Publishing is an amazing company that offers families a fantastic collection of books about heroic tales of important people from history and missionary tales about daring, faithful Christians. Two of their most popular series are Christian Heroes: Then & Now and Heroes of History There are 50 titles to choose from in the Christian Heroes: Then & Now series. Heroes of History has 30 titles to choose from. I love how these two amazing series provide readers strong, faithful, determined, and patriotic men and women to learn about and look up to.
For this review, we received a physical Betty Greene: Wings to Serve from the Christian Heroes: Then & Now Series. This extraordinary book tells the story of Betty Greene, a missionary pilot who flew all over the world. Elizabeth (Betty) Everts Greene was born in 1920 in Seattle, Washington. She was an American pilot. At the age of 25, she took the skies starting her famous flying career. She was the first MAF pilot. As a Missionary Aviation Fellowship (MAF) pilot, Betty flew Mexico, Peru, Nigeria, Sudan, and Papua New Guinea. During her daring missions, she was able to bring her two loves in life, flying and serving the Lord, together.
"I believe that love is better than hate.
And that there is more nobility in building a chicken coop
than in destroying a cathedral."
~ Betty Greene
Betty Greene: Wings to Serve is recommended for readers ages 10 and up. The paperback book is 193 pages long. It's well written and easy to read. I love how the book brings the life of Betty Greene to life. The book is written in way that brings readers of all ages in. It's not a difficult read. It works great as a read aloud for younger readers and works just as well as an independent read for older readers.
~Unit Study Guide~
To accompany the book, the company offers a unit study guide. This is a great way to use living books in your history lessons. We received the digital download of the unit study to accompany the book. We chose not to use the unit study guide for this book, but have used a few of the others in the past.
The Unit Study Guide is meant to go along with the book. The unit study guide is meant to be used by parents and teacher as a way to help reinforce learning. These books with their unit study guides are perfect for a living history style of teaching. We love this style of learning about history.
No boring textbooks!
The unit study guide offers curriculum that covers geography, history, bible verses, reading comprehension, vocabulary, creative writing, essay writing, art, and drama. Parents and teachers can look through the study guide and use what they like or they can use the entire things. One of the nice things about homeschooling is parents get to pick and choose what they want their students to work on.
Over the past few years, we've reviewed a few of the other titles offered.
Be sure to check them out too!
