    I am wanting to work in some missionary books for my children, but I don’t know how to fit in one more thing in my schedule. I knew you ladies would have some great ideas. Any thoughts?

    Do you already read during breakfast or lunch? I have had trouble fitting these books in also unless they are what my DH is reading as our family read aloud…but instead of reading a whole book on a certain missionary I have started using Hero Tales by Dave and Neta Jackson. There are 4 volumes filled with three stories each of different missionaries.

    Since the stories are short I can fit one in during lunch or during a “break” in the day. Or when the kids are just getting “wild”. I say “ON the couch I am going to read from Hero Tales!” and all the kids come running. I read the short story and then we are off onto other things.

    Of course I would love for my dc and I to know the whole story of these great missionaries but for now this is a way to introduce many missionaries and countries (great for geography) to my children in little snippets of time.

    It’s better then nothing. 🙂

    Oh and by the way..even though the stories are short..they still can make me cry with amazement of how great our God is. (referring to a past post about getting emotional while we read to our children)

    Hi Amanda,

    As far as scheduling goes, I agree with Shelly, breakfast, lunch or evening-family-readaloud is a great time to add these books in.

    In case you want more ideas for missionary stories, I asked about this last year and got lots of responses. Heres the link incase you’re interested

    I heartily second the Hero Tales suggestion! Also, YWAM publishing has wonderful missionary books in the Christian Heroes Then & Now series here: text to link
