“Wow, she’s savage.” exclaimed one of my boys. We were partway into the first chapter of Harriet Tubman by Janet and Geoff Benge and my boys were already enthralled. Turns out Harriet Tubman is one of the coolest people they’ve read about in history, since she carried a pistol in her pocket to motivate panicking runaways. Harriet Tubman is part of the Heroes of History series, and takes place in Maryland. That’s perfect because we are reading books through the 50 states this year, and Maryland is close enough we can do some field trips related to Harriet Tubman! Since this is really one of the first read-aloud books I’ve done with my youngest boys, I had been very concerned about how well they would listen, but not anymore. These books are written so well that even my youngest is happy to sit and listen intently to the story.

What I love about the Benge books – they are written so very well that they draw you in, and yet they hold true to the actual history of the character. The authors do tons of research, and stay true to the real story. But the action is so incredibly described, and faith is central in every book. I love having them on my shelf for my readers to grab, and three of my kids have read through the entire series on their own. I also love having the books to grab as read-alouds now that I am able to do that again.

Besides the Heroes of History series, they also have Christian Heroes Then and Now series, which features many different missionaries. all of the books are exciting and fun to read. So many books are available, its an incredible life work by the Benge family, and I highly recommend this series for anyone wanting living books to make history and church history come alive.

Have you seen the Benge Books? If you homeschool, you probably have seen them at homeschool conventions or one or two of the books have been used in your curriculum package. We are giving away several sets of these fabulous books!

Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
