Product Description BOOK #1 IN THE HIDDEN HEROES SERIESWhy would a crippled old man wait by the side of the road every day for twenty years? Why would a slave and a witch doctor walk for three days to find a man called Jesus? Why would a lame man purposely hobble to a tribe where he knew he could be killed?Sixteen captivating true episodes from the ministry of missionary Dick McLellan in Ethiopia, as well as many national missionaries, show the power of God in the midst of darkness. One by one the people declared, "With this hand I renounce the devil and all his works! With this hand I embrace my Savior Jesus Christ! All I am and all I have! Two hands!" The Hidden Heroes Series tells inspirational stories for preteens (ages 9-12) that are suitable for read-alouds for younger children. Evangelical Protestant Christian missionaries take the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who then take it to their own people. Biographical true accounts bring the miraculous work of the gospel to life through personal testimonies of historical figures.Sonlight Homeschool Curriculum has called the books in The Hidden Heroes Series "glorious," "marvelous," "incredible," beautiful," "challenging," "dramatic," and "exciting."Book 1 -- With Two Hands: True Stories of God at Work in EthiopiaBook 2 -- The Good News Must Go Out: True Stories of God at Work in the Central African RepublicBook 3 -- Witness Men: True Stories of God at Work in Papua, IndonesiaBook 4 -- Return of the White Book: True Stories of God at Work in Southeast AsiaBook 5 -- Lights in a Dark Place: True Stories of God at Work in ColombiaBook 6 -- Living Water in the Desert: True Stories of God at Work in Iran Review Not only are the kids learning and "seeing" God's hand at work (it is PRECIOUS seeing their faces when they realize how God worked in each situation, chapter after chapter), my husband and I are also having our faith bolstered!!! We LOVE this book and the blessed time it has been for our family. God has blessed all the work of your hands, Rebecca...thank you! ★★★★★--L Hiss, Amazon ReviewerWe absolutely loved this book! It broadened our faith and encouraged us all to press on, trusting God no matter what we face. It reinforced for all of us that our lives are not in our own hands, and that nothing can take our lives until we have completed our purpose on this earth. This was an excellent addition to our homeschool study of the country of Ethiopia! All five kids, ages 5-16, plus mom were thoroughly engaged. Highly recommend. ★★★★★--Mommynificent, Amazon ReviewerWow! This book has been such a joy to read at dinner together as a family. I grew up overseas with missionary parents and the stories bring back many memories. My children have been so blessed -- teens all the way down to kindergarten age. Inspiring true stories about the beauty of the gospel for people so desperate for the freedom only God can give...you will love it! ★★★★★--David Larson, Amazon ReviewerWe've read this aloud to our kids while playing lego and ended up with all lego dumped and kids sitting on sofa glued to the stories, and then the book stolen and found with a boy wrapped up with it in bed at night. Great stories - inspiring, faith growing, joyful, exciting. The writing is excellent and we thoroughly recommend this author. ★★★★★--A fan, Amazon Reviewer Review "I believe no Christian's life is "just normal," because each is a God-story waiting to be told in heaven someday. In the meantime, I thank God for With Two Hands! where I get a preview of one of those heavenly stories. Thank you, Rebecca Davis, for giving us and our children a glimpse of God's work through the life of Dick McLellan and the hidden heroes of the Ethiopian church." ~ Noël Piper (Author and Wife of John Piper) About the Author Rebecca Davis lives in Greenville, South Carolina, where she loves to research and write true stories for children and their families about God's great work all over the world
