Tales of the Defended Ones by Beth Guckenberger

I am so excited to have another book to add to my bookshelf for when my children are older.  I really liked the perspective of this book and how Beth Guckenberger shows the readers that God hasn't stopped caring for those who can't care for themselves, such as children who are child laborers, adopted, living with a disability, etc.  What better person to write these mission-minded books than a person who is living in the midst of some of these issues.  Guckenberger lives in Mexico, and is dealing with many of these issues in what she sees daily.  I love the mission focus.

This is a very kid-friendly book.  It takes complex issues and puts those same issues on a child's level to make it easier for them to understand.  It has maps, pictures, illustrations of other children's drawings, and information about the countries they are talking about in that particular chapter.

She wrote another book before this one in the same kind of way.  It's called "Tales of the Not Forgotten."  I am definitely going to add that one to my shelf, too.

If you are looking for a resource to help broaden your child's world and help them to see what some children live like in other cultures, then this is a great book for you to read.  You can take this book further by being a part of their ministry, as well.
