Just as the Bible uses the stories of the Patriarchs, Judges, Prophets, and Kings to teach us, so we hope that the Famous Men series (and the accompanying Greenleaf Guides) will be useful in teaching your children about the traits God desires and the consequences - both temporal and eternal - of the choices which they make. The stories can be read aloud to younger students, or read independently by older students, either as the focus of their study or as a supplement. Instructors will find them useful with students from second grade through junior high.
