Church History

We read Trial and Triumph to the littler ones and then later, Foxe’s. We also read Voice of the Martyrs to learn about the church today, as well as some of their resources. Also, I try to keep a missionary biography going at all times with the children or something like Evangelists in Chains, Of Whom the World was not Worthy, etc.

Blessings,

Hey Shanna,

We started reading T&T once per month until recently when we pick it up almost weekly. I do not coordinate the readings, though that would be a good idea. I have read Foxe’s aloud and also assigned it to an older child for part of their Bible assignment.

Evangelists in Chains and Of Whom the World Was Not Worthy were both assigned to a child this past school year. That particular child cannot locate the books…sigh. I will continue to look for them so that I can give you a decent synopsis since it has been quite a while since I read them. Since I was not trained to narrate as a child my retention is horrible :(, but I remember that I really liked these two books.

If this is helpful, others among our favorites are:

The Secret Mission and others in the Huguenot Inheritance Series published by Inheritance Publications

St. Bartholomew’s Eve – A Tale of the Huguenot Wars by Henty

But Not Forsaken, by Brenneman, published by Christian Light (about a family of Mennonite refugees from the Russian Ukraine into east Germany during the war)

Tortured for Christ, by Richard Wurmbrand

The Two Margarets, by Mackenzie, published by Christian Focus (about the Scottish Covenanters)

The Bible Smuggler, by Vernon, published by Herald Press (about William Tyndale)

Ink on His Fingers, same (about Gutenberg)

My Escape from the Auto De Fe, by Pastor Wm. Timms, published by Shiloh Publications (about the Protestant Reformation)

Morning Star of the Reformation, by Thomson, published by BJU (about John Wycliffe)

Blessings,
