Heroes of History - Harriet Tubman: Freedombound from YWAM Publishing
I've been homeschooling for the past 17 years, and one resource I would never do with out has been YWAM Publishing! For this review - we are privileged to introduce you to Heroes of History - Harriet Tubman: Freedombound and the Digital Unit Study companion.
At our first homeschool conference...way, way back, someone gave us a free copy of Gladys Aylward: Life of Adventure. We took it home and we were hooked! The very next year, I went straight to YWAM Publishing and purchased their entire set of both Christian Heroes: Then & Now and Heroes of History My dear husband never recovered from the shock that I bought "one of everything on the table." It is the one of my best purchases!
These stories have been LIFE CHANGING. All 8 of my children have grown up reading and listening to amazing stories of how God used ordinary people to change the world! One of our family sayings is "Someday, you will have a YWAM book".
Heroes of History - Harriet Tubman: Freedombound is an excellent addition to your American History study. These books are great for independent reading for ages 10 and up, but we love them as family read alouds. All the titles are available in paperback or e-book format, or as well-done audio books on CD or MP3 download.
Harriet Tubman: Freedombound follows the life of a truly inspiring woman in history. Harriet is born a slave but, later escapes and becomes the "Moses" of her people, leading many to freedom along the Underground Railroad. Her courage and refusal to give up are great lessons for our children today.
Her story is captivating, we could not put it down. That's what I love most about these books - they introduce ordinary men and women that God uses to do extraordinary things. The books have never failed to show us how God can use even just one person to change the world. Children need heroes to look up to, and YWAM Publishing has provided an entire series of them!
The Unity Study that goes along with this book is fantastic as well! It comes as a digital download full of great ideas that can help you use these books across your curriculum. It combines science, history, geography and more that will help you expand the reading into more learning.
The Unit Study is very easy to use - you can pick and choose what you want to include. We love to use the Chapter Questions for vocabulary and reading comprehension.
Printing out the maps that are included makes a great geography review. When I teach geography in my Coop classes - I always give each student a Christian Heroes: Then & Now book to read and report on.
We especially love the quotes! They make great handwriting practice.
I HIGHLY recommend the Christian Heroes: Then & Now & Heroes of History series. One quick warning...don't let your family read these if you want them to live an ordinary life!
