Christian Biographies for Young Readers from Simonetta Carr

I was embarrassingly old when I discovered that Christians have a history.

No joke, it never occurred to me that there were people who fought and sometimes died in defense of the faith. I really didn’t know a lot about doctrine, theology, and the trends that appear to sway the direction of the faith. I’d been raised in a charismatic church, and it just wasn’t something we addressed.

I don’t remember how I came to own a few Little Lights biographies, but I remember reading them to my little boys while they were in the bath–and that’s how I learned about George Mueller and Hudson Taylor. My desire to teach Christian history to my kids was ignited, and my children love learning about the men and women who served Jesus with their lives!

I could go on and on, but you can hop over and read Four Reasons to Teach Christian History to Your Kids if you’re interested in the ways Christian history will help your children grow and develop.

Christian History Matters for Our Kids.

History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible.

Here’s why:

God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It’s important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings.
Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.
Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God’s Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.
Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others–and on history.

Elementary-aged kids need middle grade resources that are fun, a little sassy, and that teach valuable lessons.
