These are the tales of the ones left wounded….
I enjoyed reading these stories of hope – they are kind of
sad at first—some are very hard to read, but thanks to God, and the help of His
called servants, Ben, Joseph, Antonio, Caitlyn and Jorani are rescued from what
seemed to be hopeless situations. I cried when I read these stories, so you
might want to keep a box of tissues close by as you read this.
TALES OF THE DEFENDED ONES is a great book to use for
missions work with children, or social work classes for older children. There
is a teacher’s guide available (I didn’t get that to review though). I
recommend this book for church libraries, youth leaders and teachers. Great
book. $8.99. 208 pages.
