I wanted to let you know about some awesome DVDs available for your children. They are DVDs based on the lives of:
Jim Elliot (missionary to Auca Indians)
Perpetua (one of the first Christian martyrs who heroically gave her life in the Coliseum)
Eric Liddell (runner made famous in movie Chariots of Fire)
John Bunyan (wrote Pilgrims Progress...most influential Christian book outside of Bible)
Gladys Aylward (missionary to China who led over 100 orphans to safety during WWII)
Richard Wurmbrand (imprisoned for his faith for 21 years in Romania and founder of Voice of the Martyrs)
Harriet Tubman (a brave young woman who not only saved her family from slavery in America but countless others as she led them on the Underground Railroad)
Adoniram and Ann Judson (young American missionary couple who bring the gospel to the closed nation of Burma)
Martin Luther (young Catholic monk who courageously stood up to church corruption and began the Protestant movement)
Robert Jermain Thomas (a brave missionary who smuggles God's Word into the hermit kingdom of Korea with amazing results)
John Wesley (fiery preacher who, with his message of God's free grace for all, goes on to evangelize England and early America and help found the Methodist Church)
Corrie ten Boom (brave woman who, with her family, hid hundreds of Jews from the Nazis and was later sent to a concentration camp)
Augustine (a famous Christian preacher, author and apologist in the early Roman empire)
Samuel Morris (a young African prince who was captured, found Christ, miraculously escaped and went on to share his faith as a missionary)
William Booth (founder of the Salvation Army, a worldwide charity organization)
Amy Carmichael (missionary to India who saved many young girls from temple slavery and started an orphanage)
William Tyndale (translated the Bible into English and killed by English government for that).

William Tyndale (translated the Bible into English and killed by English government for that).
Each of them are TRUE Christian heroes and people our children should know about and admire. The DVDs are very well done and for those who were martyred (Elliot, Perpetua, Robert Thomas and Tyndale) that fact is done in such a way as to give honor to God and to show that their lives were not in vain.
Plus, each DVD comes with about 30 pages of printable activities for your children. I will be showing these to my Elementary age children this school year.
In my experience, it is often hard to find videos which are about heroic Christians and are done in such a way as to keep your children's attention. But these do both and I can't say enough great things about them!
You can find out all about them at their website http://www.torchlighters.org
