The Church History ABC’s

 

Children will learn about 26 individuals throughout history who played a significant role in church history in the Church History ABC's Augustine and twenty-five other heroes of the Faith. They'll read about Saint Augustine's open confession of enjoying doing wrong when he was young. However, God took hold of his heart and Augustine repented of his sin. Then they'll learn about Ulrich Zwingli and how God used him in Zurich to teach about Jesus at the end of the alphabet.The book is recommended for children aged 3-6. The A to Z stories are simple enough for young children to understand, which is what I love about this book. Additionally, the added information at the end of the book gives older children more information about each character.

John Newton, writer of "Amazing Grace"

Blinded by his own sin it took God using a bad storm and a shipwreck for

John Newton to finally see his need for a Savior. Like his famous hymn 

"Amazing Grace" says, I was blind, but now I see. 

In the back of the book we learn some more in depth information about John Newton such as in 1780 John Newton greatly influenced...the young Member of Parliament William Wilberforce. Newton convinced Wilberforce, who thought about leaving politics for the ministry, that he could make a great contribution by working tirelessly to abolish the slave trade. Wilberforce first introduced the bill...in 1791. It was passed into law in 1807...

The authors' books: the Church History ABC's Augustine and twenty-five other heroes of the Faith along with Reformation ABC's The People, Places, and Things of the Reformation from A to Z and Bible History ABC's God's Story from A to Z are wonderful books. The books teach young children God's Word, the foundation of Christianity, the truth that salvation is through grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ not by works, and the many individuals throughout the centuries from Martin Luther in 1517 challenging the Catholic Church to the faithful missionary Florence Young who due to war established a water based mission field. Florence established the South Seas Evangelical Mission using a yacht named the Evangel and reached thousands with the gospel. Your children will have so much fun making their way through the ABC's and will even have some laughs along the way. I would recommend this book to all parents, educators, and caregivers with children. Even though these books are for children, adults will enjoy them too.
