HEROES OF HISTORY SERIES *PENN, WILLIAM *LIBERTY/JUSTICE FOR ALL
by Janet & Geoff Benge ~ William's father had enjoyed favor in Britain's royal court, and all William had to do was show himself to be a faithful royalist, and wealth and privilege would be his. Instead he chose to follow his conscience--to expulsion from university, disinheritance, imprisonment, and the threat of death. He worked passionately for religious tolerance. When the Quaker reformer secured a land grant in America, he laid for Pennsylvania a foundation of liberty, justice, fairness, and tolerance that would later guide the drafting of the constitution of the United States.

HEROES OF HISTORY SERIES *SMITH, JOHN *FOOTHOLD IN A NEW WORLD
by Janet & Geoff Benge ~ The mainsail cracked above them in the ferocious wind as a group of red-faced men descended on John. "You have brought a curse on us. Overboard with you," one of the men yelled. A chorus of cheers went up. It was the last sound John heard before he was dumped over the side of the ship and engulfed by the dark, roiling ocean. Thrown overboard, enslaved by the Turks, captured by pirates, rescued by a princess - the story of Englishman John Smith would seem unbelievable were it fiction. Young John first sought adventure in Europe, traveling as far as Russia and distinguishing himself in the wars that raged across the Old World. But John Smith's real passion was for the New World, and in 1607 he sailed to North America with the men who would establish the first lasting British settlement - Jamestown. There he fought level-headedly for the policies that would enable the fragile community to survive starvation, disease, and deadly attacks.

HEROES OF HISTORY SERIES *WRIGHT, ORVILLE *THE FLYER
by Janet & Geoff Benge ~ At last Orville was free, soaring above the sand dunes, wind in his face. Lying in the glider's wing, he moved his hips in the control cradle and the craft began to turn as planned. But then something went wrong. The glider wanted to go into a spin, and as Orville struggled with the controls, it came to a standstill in midair. When Orville Wright and his brother Wilbur set out to solve the problem of flight, they recognized that success would come with careful observation, perseverance, and ingenuity. From experiments in their Dayton, Ohio, bicycle shop to test flights over the beaches of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the amateur aviation enthusiasts risked their lives and worked tirelessly to solve the problems that had stumped the world's best scientists. Together the Wright brothers designed and constructed a power-driven airplane and, in it, made the world's first controlled, sustained flight.

I THINK GOD WANTS ME TO BE A MISSIONARY
by Neal Pirolo ~ Issues To Deal With Long Before You Say Goodbye ~ Prompted by the high attrition rate of missionaries who do not first “count the cost” of cross-cultural ministry, Neal Pirolo offers this book to help candidates look closely at scores of issues that should be clarified long before they say, “Good-bye.” In an easy-to-read style of dialogue, four young people represent thousands of people who are making that statement: I think God wants me to be a missionary! We enter the lives of these four "missionary-hopefuls." In the first four chapters each person in turn goes to his pastor with a specific issue. However, as they face the one, others arise. In Chapters Five through Seven, then, the youth and their pastors and others become involved in the dialogues as these young people deal with scores of issues that need to be considered. Also by author Neal Pirolo: Serving As Senders and Re-Entry.

PEANUT BUTTER FRIENDS IN A CHOP SUEY WORLD
by Deb Brammer ~ Christian Fiction ages 9 and up ~ "In just a few minutes we'd be landing in Taiwan. My family and I would actually live in this country - we'd learn to speak Chinese, and we'd make Chinese friends and win lots of souls for Jesus. If I was going to be a missionary, I wanted to be a good one." When Amy's family moves to Taiwan to begin missionary work, she is determined to be a good missionary. But the neighborhood girls laugh at her, and Sunday services at the Chinese church become an ordeal. It seems that the only place she feels comfortable is at the English-speaking school with her peanut butter friends. ~ ~ "For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister." "Now I knew what bothered me about that verse. It meant that I wasn't in Taiwan just to make a comfortable life for myself. There were many good things about living in Taiwan, but I wasn't here just to have fun. God had a job for me to do wherever He placed me."
