Teaching Kids About Commitment and Unselfish Love

by Susan 4 Comments

One of the best ways to teach your kids about commitment, responsibility and unselfish love is to get them reading or listening to the autobiographies/biographies of past and present missionaries.

These men and women lived (or are living) lives of dedication and vision, with wonderful and daring adventure stories that show your children the Hand of God at work in the lives of His people. These stories are terrific teachers that help your children to see that truly God does work in the lives of every day people just like them.

Some of our family’s favorite stories are the books about Jim Elliot, Elizabeth Elliot, Nate Saint and Steve Saint. Jim Elliot was a missionary to the country of Ecuador where he and his crew were killed by the Waodani tribe. Nate Saint was their pilot and he was also killed.

Steve Saint, Nate Saint’s son, tells the story of his father and his fellow missionaries better than anyone I know and you can follow him on Facebook.

Here’s a List of Books and DVDs  To Get You Started:

Heroes of the Faith: Jim Elliot

Through the Gates of Splendor

Walking His Trail

End of the Spear

Beyond the Gates of Splendor

    I in addition to my friends were actually reading through the good hints on your website and so all of a sudden I had a horrible feeling I never thanked the web blog owner for those techniques. These young men came certainly warmed to see them and have now simply been taking advantage of those things. Many thanks for getting very thoughtful and then for picking this form of superb themes most people are really needing to discover. My honest regret for not expressing gratitude to you earlier.
