HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW: Our Review of Christian Heroes: Then & Now


     A couple of years ago we were introduced to the Christian Heroes: Then & Now series from YWAM Publishing.  We love them!  They are amazing books that focus on Christians who have made a difference with their lives.  I was thrilled to be given the chance to receive and review Christian Heroes- C.S. Lewis book this time along with the Study Guide that corresponds with the book. 
     
     Our son Josh, who is 14, was so excited to read all about one of his favorite authors.  It didn't take long for him to read through the 189 page paperback book.  It has 17 chapters filled with knowledge of C.S. Lewis.  It is fun and educational at that same time.  It held his attention with no problem at all.  

     I asked him what he thought of the book and his response was this....
     "It was neat to find out that C.S. Lewis' real name was Clive Staples Lewis.  He didn't care for people to call him Clive so he asked them to call him Jack. I had no idea what a hard life he lived, but it never stopped his love of hearing and telling stories. He used his stories to tell people about the truth of life.  He especially loved to share his faith in Jesus Christ through writing imaginative stories." 

     My kids have loved C.S. Lewis'  books for years.  When they were little I would read these books to them, then as they grew older, they would read through them again themselves.  His amazing stories taught us so much about life.  I love how he brought each of the characters in his books to life. Our favorite books are the Chronicles of Narnia series.  We have the books and the audio dramas for them. They are getting worn out from years of use. 

 

     As Josh read through this true story of C.S. Lewis, he was also able to work through the study guide that was provided.  He would answer the questions that went along with each chapter.  This helped him to remember what was going on in the book. 
 
     I love how the study guide was set up it has a few sections such as: 
  • Key Bible Verses
  • Display Corner
  • Chapter Questions
  • Student Explorations
  • Community Links
  • Social Studies
  • Related Themes to Explore
     There is so much more. I can't list them all here, but I know you will love these Unit Studies. They can be used with many age groups.  Even high school students will be able to use them. 

     YWAM Publishing is a wonderful company that goes out of their way to make resources that go above and beyond.  The Christian Heroes: Then & Now series is my favorite. They are able to tell true stories in a way that keeps students wanting to read more and more.  Books like these are so important for our children.  They share what others have gone through as they answered the call of God on their lives.
