Hero Tales
This year, Nate and I are reading through Hero's Tales as our morning devotional. Drawing from the lives of faithful men and women throughout church history, authors Dave and Neta Jackson teach character lessons to young (and older) children. All hero sections

 include a two-page biography and three character lessons in the form of stories from the person's life. Each lesson closes with a Bible verse and three discussion questions. All the books contain 15 biographies, and all of the character qualities discussed in each book are listed in the back.

We read the John Newton section right before we saw the movie Amazing Grace on February 24. God has amazing timing. The first character lesson was on Destiny and described how several times in his youth, Newton was saved from death. Yet, it wasn't until God rescued him and his ship from a terrible storm did Newton acknowledge God and His purpose for his life. The other two lessons were on Perseverance and Restitution.
