Biographies for Children
Christian biography for children can serve as some of the most influential literature in the formation of a biblical and Christian worldview. For that reason, we’ve made this one of our richest sections, with a wide range of personal, well-written life stories of important believers in Christ across the centuries. For children 8 and under, you’ll love the colorfully illustrated Little Lights Series. For more complete biographies, the Trailblazers Series is perfect for ages 8-12, depending on your child’s reading skill. For children 12 and up, Simonetta Carr’s Illustrated Christian Biographies for Young Readers are superb.  And we even have DVDs of exceptional quality for 12 and under, the Torchlighters Series.

His interest in religion, however, didn’t go much beyond trying to salve his conscience by good works.

With this realization his heart was flooded with gospel peace and from that day on Charles Simeon was set on a remarkable pathway to spread the good news of Salvation through preaching God’s Word.
