Christian Heroes: Then & Now and Heroes of History YWAM books listed by time period to use in your history studies.The Christian Heroes: Then & Now and Heroes of History books are an excellent way to bring history to life. Each book is about one individual and the impact he or she had on history. All books are written by Janet and Geoff Benge.

These books can be assigned as independent reading for older students or read together as a family read-aloud. Many are available as audio books as well. They add audio versions of the books every year so check the website for details.

If you have younger children or children who are sensitive, be careful of your selection of books to read as some of the heroes faced very challenging circumstances. It is important for us to read these stories, but you may choose to read some of the more difficult ones when your children are older.

The Heroes for Young Readers is a great place to start for younger children. We really enjoyed these stories of the heroes of the faith told in verse.

You can also find crossword puzzles and coloring pages related to some of these books on the bonus material pages of the YWAM website.
