Homeschool Review Crew.

YWAM Publishing has an incredible bundle of books included in their Christian Heroes Then and Now Series that the whole family will enjoy. We read George Muller: The Guardian of Bristol's Orphans and really enjoyed reading about his life. Early on, George was quite wild and wanted nothing more than to party and have fun no matter the consequences. George's life would soon change when he decided to attend a sermon reading with a friend. As Herr Kayser spoke George was fixated by what was spoken. Day after day George continued to go back and listen to Herr Kayser's sermons. George would end up asking God to forgive him his sins. George would go on the preach, feel called to various ministry positions. In 1830 George would meet Miss Mary Groves. The two would wed that same year. The Muller's would move to Bristol in 1832. George along with a friend would preach at Gideon Chapel. The people of Bristol were hungry for God's Word. George would meet a little girl named Emily that would again change his life. The Muller's started "The Breakfast Club" for the many orphaned children of Bristol. They wanted to reach them as most had probably never heard the name of God. They would also feed them. Eventually the number of children attending was overflowing. George would found the Scriptural Knowledge Institution for Home and Abroad that would establish day schools, Sunday schools, and adult schools for the poor. The organization would also provide free Bibles and help foreign missionaries financially. George would also go on to found many orphanages.

For the child that loves to read, they may want to find a book or two on a related topic within the book that interests them and then write a short report. The possibilities are limitless. The study guide also has activities for various grade levels. This is helpful for the parent that may want to read the book aloud during evening family time. YWAM Publishing's Study Guide's are truly amazing. The study guide is 64 pages in length.
