Ancient Heroes, Modern Superpowers: 52 New Testament Stories to Help Kids Discover Loyalty, Kindness, Courage, and Faith! a Weekly Guide for Year of Growth

Twelve ordinary people changed the world. Not one of them had a cape.A fisherman who swore he had never met his best friend - and came back anyway. A tax collector everybody in town despised. Four friends who dug through somebody's roof to carry one of their own. A widow with two tiny coins who out-gave every rich man in the room.They had no money, no titles and no plan anybody would have approved. What they did have, your child already has.Fifty-two weeks. Fifty-two real people. One superpower at a time.Every week gives your reader three things: - The Story - what actually happened, told without the boring version.- The Superpower - the strength hidden inside it, and how to grow it.- Your Action Step - one real challenge to try at home or at school this week. Some of them got it right. Some got it spectacularly wrong - Peter denied his best friend, Mark walked out halfway through a journey, Martha lost her temper in front of guests. Those chapters are in here too, because that is how real life works, and because of the promise this book makes on its first page: You don't have to be perfect to become strong.Written in short, clear sentences for ages 9 to 12, with 52 original black-and-white illustrations - one for every chapter. Perfect for family devotions, Sunday school, homeschool, or a child reading alone.Volume Two of The Modern Superpowers Series. Reads perfectly on its own - no need to have read the Old Testament volume first.
