Chris, Excellent book recommendations, but a bit over the level of our five children ages 7 and under. Mary Jones and Her Bible is written at a level appropriate for school-age children. Noel Piper's Faithful Women... and Elliot's Through Gates of Splendor are both excellent biographies, but beyond our kids. For those following this thread, however, we'd also commend the Lightkeepers series from Christian Focus publications, which are 10-to-a-book introductory-level biographies of notable men and women in history written for children of younger ages.

wow that sounds like a fascinating book. Glad to hear your children already want to pursue God. It is times like these, in their youth, when there is much ground to be gained or lost. When habits can be developed that will allow them to stay on the narrow path and not become a simple mind who ends up being destroyed. I wonder if your kids would enjoy biographies then like “Faithful Women and Their Extraordinary God,” a short book discussing 5 missionaries and their challenges. A very good book. I couldn’t put it down after I started it. You can find it online for free at Pipers desinggod website. Another book is “Through the Gates of Splendor” by Elliot.
