GraciebytheBay Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Can you share your favorite missionary bios for 7-8th grade? I would really like it if the book had a study guide, but it is not a necessity. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I don't know about a study guide, but the stories are humbling, inspiring and make an impact on my 14 y.o. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, "A Chance To Die" about Amy Carmichael, I can't remember the name, but, a biography about Gladys Aylward the movie is the "Inn of Sixth Happiness".

Melody Green… its about him though.... I need to pull that out for my son to read.... It was a book I read during a time when I was really questioning if I was saved or not... ( new Christian)but what I really needed was disciplining! *Ü* Wasn’t a salvation issue I had.... a growth issue is what I had.... Thanks for the reminder... :) Also... Bruchko.... now that my brain is working.... fantastic book... an extraordinary young man.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Gracie, Do you have Netflix? There's a wonderful, short documentary on Jim Elliot, narrated by his wife, Elizabeth, that tells the story of his (and his team's) martyrdom among the Auca Indians, and the resulting decision for several of the wives to continue their ministry. It is really, really good, and a wonderful supplement to his biography. He and Elizabeth are among my heros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
