For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart? —Job 8:8,10

We live in a time in which we have little knowledge or appreciation of those who sacrificially laid the foundations for the faith and freedom we enjoy today. That is why we are so excited to offer, for the first time, the Children’s History of the Reformation Series, a set of three books that we hope will serve as a starting place for discovering the lessons from a “former age.”

Each beautiful hardcover book covers the significant events and lives within various periods of the Reformation in different countries including Scotland, England, Germany, France, and Italy. This set is the perfect introduction to the great heroes of the faith and their stories of sacrifice, tears, triumphs, and sometimes martyrdoms that will help your child appreciate the Reformation. Give these books to your “independent” readers and let them explore on their own, or read them aloud as a family. An important and necessary addition for the Christian family library.

Stories of the Reformation in Germany and England, written by Rev. B.G. Johns, M.A., was originally printed circa 1860. The main idea of this volume is the truth and manliness of Martin Luther: while not perfect, his words, actions, simplicity, and his courage, are traits every one should strive to imitate, especially in our day of mere form in Christianity. Reads like an adventure story. Hardcover. 338 pgs. Retail Value $25

Stories of the Covenanters in Scotland is a compilation of three stories: The Persecuted Family, Ralph Gemmell, and Helen of the Glen, originally printed 1859-1871. They paint a true picture of our Christian ancestors who suffered for the civil and religious liberty we now enjoy. Recommended for reading aloud. Hardcover. 292 pgs. Retail Value $25

Stories of the Hugenots in France and Italy includes Blanche Gamond: A Heroine of the Faith, an autobiography with a preface by Dr. Merle d’Aubigné and five other true stories of persecuted Huguenots. Dr. d’Aubigné reminds us that the profession of Christianity was easy in his day, and how much more so in our days of peace and pleasure. Such was not the case with Christians in early times and it will do us good to read these accounts of their sufferings and triumphs for the sake of Christ. Hardcover. 297 pgs. Retail Value $25
