- Discover Alexis de Tocqueville’s discernment in uncovering the true source of America’s greatness.
Through depictions of dramatic events, each biographical vignette keeps children hooked on the facts of history while simultaneously fostering patriotism and faith. Black and white illustrations bring added context to the stories, showing portraits, battle scenes, and key turning points.
Profiles of Valor is perfect for reading aloud as a family, an ideal gift for a budding historian (grades 7 and up), a great addition to your daily morning basket reading, or a wholesome recreational reading option for independent readers.
Book Format
While the stories are ordered chronologically, each chapter can stand alone if desired. Each biographical sketch will take approximately 30 minutes to read aloud.
Each chapter is introduced with a definition of the virtue demonstrated and a relevant Bible memory verse. At the close of each story, comprehension questions help check for understanding while application questions foster discussion to bring the virtues into modern life. Meaningful quotes from statesmen and important personalities are also included throughout the volume.
Read this volume and the entire four-book series to fall in love with American history, reconnect with its godly founding values, and discover a pathway for its future.
