This is the first book in the Hidden Heroes series. I highly recommend this entire series! We use missionary stories as part of our daily devotional time and there are a lot out there that are hit or miss. We were looking for something great to follow up after Missionary Stories With The Millers and this was perfect. The stories in here were interesting and my kids looked forward to it everyday. Best of all it inspired us to aim for more in our prayer life and in our faith in God. I'm alternating with her Potter's Wheel biographies and other biographies in between each of her Hidden Heroes books to make them last longer. My kids are 11 and 12, but I think these would be engaging to as young as 6 and they interest me as an adult too.

With Two Hands: Stories of God at Work in Ethiopia (Hidden Heroes #1)

BOOK #1 IN THE HIDDEN HEROES SERIES Why would a crippled old man wait by the side of the road every day for twenty years? Why would a slave and a witch doctor walk for three days to find a man called Jesus? Why would a lame man purposely hobble to a tribe where he knew he could be killed? Sixteen captivating true episodes from the ministry of missionary Dick McLellan in Ethiopia, as well as many national missionaries, show the power of God in the midst of darkness. One by one the people declared, "With this hand I renounce the devil and all his works! With this hand I embrace my Savior Jesus Christ! All I am and all I have! Two hands!"  The Hidden Heroes Series tells inspirational stories for preteens (ages 9-12) that are suitable for read-alouds for younger children. Evangelical Protestant Christian missionaries take the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who then take it to their own people. Biographical true accounts bring the miraculous work of the gospel to life through personal testimonies of historical figures. Sonlight Homeschool Curriculum has called the books in The Hidden Heroes Series "glorious," "marvelous," "incredible," beautiful," "challenging," "dramatic," and "exciting."
