Children are fascinated by real people who had real adventures. Just as the Bible uses the stories of the Patriarchs, Judges, Prophets, and Kings to teach us, so we hope that our history units on the Middle Ages will be useful in teaching your children about the traits God desires. The titles in the Famous Men series emphasize biography, so you can focus on issues of character and the consequences (bot htemporal and eternal) of the choices historical figures made. From these examples, we and our children can learn to make wise choices in our own lives. The stories in Famous Men of the Middle Ages can be read alous to younger students, or read independently by older students, either as the focus of study or as a supplement. Instructors will find Famous Men of the Middle Ages useful with students from second grade through junior high.
