"When asking my kiddos about this past year's favorites, my son enthusiastically exclaimed, "History is my favorite!" I know this is in large part because of the wonderful, rich resources you have provided for our family! He has been able to make a solid, heart connection to actual people throughout history - God's people, whom He loves dearly. History is not a "long ago, distant date" in which some random people happened to live. The novels you have selected have made "history" right here, right now for my kids. They care about the characters in these books. And because they care about them, they can grieve with them and can celebrate with them through the events that the characters experience. For me, this expands their worldview and their empathy toward others in the here and now.
Thank you so much for all you do to contribute to the heart education of the next generation! We are so blessed because of your efforts!
Many thanks,

I am so happy that your son loves history. Unfortunately, many people feel history is boring and not necessary to learn. We must learn history in it part of our past and what America is all about.
