This is a four volume series of books that are full of educational stories taken from the lives of great Christian men and women throughout the ages, including modern day heroes and heroines.

Drawn from the lives of Christian heroes, the stories  in this series are designed to help foster Christian character traits in its readers.  Hero Tales is a great way to acquaint children with historically important Christians while imparting valuable lessons. 

I have read the first three volumes in this series and am looking forward to reading volume 4.  While this book is written with the elementary child in mind, I thoroughly enjoy them myself as I read them alone or read aloud to my teenagers.  For each featured hero there is a short biography with three true stories from their lives. 

 

Hero Tales takes at the look the lives of such great people as John Bunyan, Florence Nightingale, Billy Graham, Corrie Ten Boom, Brother Andrew, Mother Theresa, D.L. Moody (one of my very favorites), Amy Carmichael, John Wesley, Lottie Moon and many, many more.
