Whether read together at family devotions or alone, Heroes in Black History is an ideal way to acquaint children ages six to twelve with historically important Christians while imparting valuable lessons. Includes brand-new material as well as content from previous Hero Tales editions.

 

"Dave and Neta Jackson have produced a modern day classic here. School age youth of all colors can benefit from this resource. Use it in a Sunday school class (for youth or adults) or as a character study. They highlight traits like boldness, love, and reconciliation using the lives of well-known, positive figures in black history and in today's news. Each short chapter includes a short Bible study and talking points." (Linda Leigh Hargrove, Oct. 14, 2008)
