‘We are thankful for this series which introduces the littlest kids to some of the biggest names in church history. The illustrations are engaging and the writing is simple, yet edifying. We look forward to reading these books to our own children.’ — KEVIN AND TRISHA DEYOUNG<\/p>\n

‘I’ve read these books. I’ve read them all. I’ve seen the pictures big and small. They’re full of truth. They’re good to read. They’ll bless the children. They’ll meet a need. Make God’s work known, to children young and old. Enjoy the reading, these tales must be told!’ — MARK DEVER<\/p>\n

‘My love for history began when I was very, very young, maybe four, at most five. I was introduced to historical riches by way of materials suited to my age and God used that to fashion me by grace into what the Puritans called “a Lord’s remembrancer”. These board books, unique in many ways, are ideal to kindle a similar love for history, especially a love for the tremendous story of God’s people. I heartily recommend them to parents and grand-parents. In a day when knowledge of the past is increasingly shallow, even among Christians, these are a key antidote.’ — MICHAEL A.G. HAYKIN<\/p>\n

‘A great help to \u201ctrain up a child\u201d is to inspire them with stories of godly men and women who followed God\u2019s calling with passion. As you read these simple board books to your little ones, and they say, \u201cRead it again!\u201d pray that a fire will be lit in their hearts to serve God lifelong! Let these beautiful books ignite a hunger for real stories of adventure in your children and grandchildren.’ — MARY BEEKE<\/p>\n

‘These books tick all of my boxes for quality, Christian children’s literature, understandable, memorable, and enjoyable. They are well-written, beautifully illustrated and fun! An unforgettable introduction to these godly men and women in church history that hopefully will lead to an interest in learning more about them and their personal walk with the Lord. Great for use at home, at church and at school. My only complaint is that there are only four of them. Please create more!’ — CONNIE DEVER<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
