Does your church have a library? Does it contain books about famous Christians written in language that is accessible to your students? The Kentucky Faith & Public History Education Project series of books about famous Kentucky Christians is written at the 2nd to 4th grade reading level. They are high-interest easy-to-read chapter books. Each is just 32 pages long. Each follows the same pattern. Four fourth graders are charged with preparing a display for a state-wide contest about an individual they know nothing about. The books chart their progress using the four-part inquiry process at the core of the Kentucky State Curriculum Standards for Social Studies: ask important questions, hunt for facts, show proof and tell what you've learned. Each book connects the life of a famous Kentuckian to a typical classroom scenario. Each book communicates the Christian message in objective, non-devotional language appropriate to a public school classroom. Priced at just $6/book, they are affordable for everyone. Eight books have been published in the series. Four are about women, four are about men. Four are about African Americans, four are about white Americans. You can find out more at our website here or go directly to Amazon.com. We are adding four books per year to the series so collect them all.
