I have always loved the Christian missionary stories
that Janet and Geoff put out. They give me something
entertaining and spiritually challenging to read.
Although they do seem to speed really quickly through
the life of this man and others, it is understandable
that they have a max page that they probably don't want
to go past. Anyways, it really is neat reading these
books.

| John Wycliffe - Heroes of the Faith |
Caughey, Ellen |
John Wycliffe (1330-1384)was a herald of the
Reformation to come. More than a century before Martin
Luther, John Calvin, and other reformers began the great
movement that changed Western history, Wycliffe was
boldly questioning the authority of the pope and the
Roman Catholic Church. Wycliffe urged a personal, inward
religion as opposed to the formal religion of his time.
A prolific writer, Wycliffe issued the first English
translatin of the Bible- -and more than six hundred
years later, his name is synonymous with Bible
translation.

Jackson, Dave & Neta |
Thrilling adventure stories introducing young
readers (ages 8-12) to Christian heroes of the past.
Ned Carter, an eighteenth-century boy of thirteen, has
been working in the dangerous coal mines in northern
England since he was five. He desperately wants to save
his little brother Pip from the same fate. Like so many
poor English families of the day, even the young
children of the Carter family must earn money to pay the
bills. Now Pip is turning five and Ned must find a way
to prevent his parents from sending Pip into the coal
mines.
But when Ned has an accident, Pip's fate seems sealed
without Ned's income, his father is sure to act. But
instead of the mines, little Pip is "sold" to be trained
as a chimney sweep. Before Ned can intervene, Pip has
vanished forever!
Despite his injury, Ned determines he must find Pip and
try to buy him back. But where has Pip been taken and
how can Ned ever earn the ransom money without his
father knowing it? What might the preacher, John Wesley,
do on Pip's behalf?
Was no one there to care or to help?

| The Fate of the Yellow Woodbee |
Jackson, Dave & Neta |
Eleven-year-old Niwa is from Ecuador's Huaorani
tribe, better known as the Auca tribe, which is known
for killing outsiders. The Aucas trust no one, not even
neighboring tribes, so when young Niwa is outlawed by
his own people for angering another tribe, not even his
family will protect him.
Then a huge "woodbee" flies overhead, dropping gifts to
Niwa's tribe from pilot Nate Saint and the other members
of a missions team hoping to share the Gospel with them.
Alone and afraid, Niwa is excited by the prospect of
outsiders who want to help him. He even wants to make
friends with the mysterious strangers and convince his
tribe that the people in the strange woodbee will not
harm them. But when someone else from the tribe lies
about the five men wanting to attack them, the whole
village wants them dead except for Niwa. Will he get
there in time to stop the killing?
In a tribe of killers, one boy longs for peace -.

Jackson, Dave & Neta |
Perrin Whitman was twelve years old and thrilled to
travel by wagon train to Oregon Territory with his
missionary aunt and uncle, Dr. Marcus and Narcissa
Whitman. It was 1843, and life in the wild, unsettled
Northwest promised Perrin the adventure he craved but
also the opportunity to witness a fierce and tragic
battle for peace and freedom.
Upon their arrival in Oregon, Perrin found an immediate
friend in the young Indian girl, Shikam, whose brother
would later become the famous Chief Joseph of the Nez
Perce tribe. Both Perrin and Shikam had the same goal:
keep peace between the white settlers and the Indians.
But when another wagon train of emigrants brought
measles, the Indians become terrified and angry by the
sickness overtaking their people. Will Dr. Whitman be
able to cure the Indians before war breaks out?
His uncle's life is in danger, but what can Perrin do?

| Salt in his Shoes |
Jordan, Deloris |
Before basketball star Michael Jordan's name was
uttered reverently in households all over the planet,
young Michael was just a shrimpy kid trying to play ball
with the big boys in the neighborhood. Tired of being
teased by the biggest boy on the court, Michael is
convinced the only solution is to grow taller. His mama
smilingly suggests putting salt in his shoes and saying
a prayer every night. His daddy tells young Michael that
"Being taller may help you play a little better, but not
as much as practice, determination, and giving your best
will. Those are the things that make you a real winner."
And so they are. At 6-foot-6, Michael may not have grown
up to be the tallest player on the court, but he sure
did turn out to be one of the best!
As his mother and his sister, Deloris Jordan and Rosalyn
Jordan are in a pretty good position to tell us all
about what made Michael a star. They create an image of
a cozy, loving family life any child would be happy to
come home to. Award-winning illustrator Kadir Nelson's
oil pictures of the gangly little Michael with hyperlong
arms and oversized hands capture the preteen potential
as well as his gawky grace. This warm, uplifting story
will encourage young readers to chase their dreams with
hard work and faith.
