How do these books help you capture your resistant learner or reluctant reader you ask? Some children have a hard time finding books that interest them, but is a shark attack not interesting? Is the sinking of a huge ship not interesting? Is settling in a new land and having to start from scratch not exciting? Is fleeing from war not exciting? These books are filled with thrilling story topics, many of which actually happened or are based off something that actually happened. For many kids, knowing that it is a true story makes a book more appealing.

Reading books by historical fiction authors can open doors to opportunities for learning. One might learn things such as: Key dates in history, locations of historical sites and events, important figures and events in history, the writing style of historical fiction authors

Whether you’ve got a budding author in the home or a reluctant writer, there are ways to help boost them along by providing opportunities of writing in addition to your language arts curriculum. Teach your children how to write historical fiction to give them engaging experiences that take advantage of interest-led learning and their imagination to cover several subjects in one activity. By giving your children a general framework of a writing assignment (instead of a specific writing topic), you can guide them to flourish with their own creative flair.

Ask Dayna Esau where she’s from, and you’ll need a minute—and maybe a map—to take in her answer. Originally from Canada, Dayna was already on the mission field as a baby, along with her parents, in Cameroon in Africa. The family spent nearly a year there before returning to Canada for three years. Their next stop was Perth, Australia, for four years, followed by Chiang Mai, Thailand, for six years. Then Dayna and her family settled back to Canada and called British Columbia “home” for seven years.

Sanctified homeschooling is homeschooling with purpose, the greatest purpose. It is not only about academics but raising the next generation of children of God who are firm and steadfast in the faith. It involves raising children who will not waiver or compromise with the fast paced, morally decaying tide of the world.

Let me just say up front that I understand crises can hit people at any age. I know that children and teens and young adults and seniors can all face life-altering tragedies and challenges. Crises are not solely reserved for middle age.

The ministry of One Hope Canada has 40 Bible Camps across Canada. Originally the ministry was called the Canadian Sunday School Mission (CSSM), sending children’s ministry missionaries to the far reaches of Canada to present the gospel to children and youth, particularly to those having the least opportunity to hear of Christ, and discipling them for living and serving through His church. This is the purpose that One Hope Canada still embodies today, not only through Bible camp ministries but through community missions and missionaries, online ministry, training and resourcing, and coming alongside in partnership with the local church to reach every boy and girl in Canada with the good news of Jesus Christ.
