What kind of people does God make into heroes? All kinds! Anyone who says, “Yes, Lord, here I am. Use me.” Everyone is unique, but anyone can help God help others. The Bible is full of great stories about God's heroes who did great things. Here are just a few of the people you will meet in this book:

• Noah, who built the ark and saved his family and the animals from the Flood

• Joseph, a captive slave who was promoted to the second highest job in Egypt

• Abraham, God’s special friend, who successfully passed God’s great test

• Ruth, a childless widow who became the great-grandmother of a king

• David, a young shepherd boy who went from giant-slayer to king

• Elisha, a prophet who worked miracles

• Esther, an orphan who became a queen of great courage

Your children will love to read about the faith and courage of God's followers. Thought questions help kids apply what they are reading to their lives. Interesting facts teach them something they have never heard before. Bible texts tie the stories to their original source. Best of all, the dialogues in the stories are taken directly from the New King James Version, bringing the characters to life like never before. Everyone can benefit from this book. You, too, can be a hero!
