You may have seen the buzz lately. My friend, Bonnie Rose, recently released her new book, Asia: Its People and History and it’s being welcomed with wonderful reviews. And for good reason. It is a beautiful book.
Inside its pages, you’ll find a 16-week study taking you on a journey through six countries in Asia — China, Vietnam, Laos, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Iran. Written as a study guide for ages 8-12, Asia: Its People and History introduces children and their parents to the people and history of each country, and tells several stories of persecuted Christians living in these countries, calling attention to the urgent need to pray for them.
Using stories of individuals (some fictional, some true accounts), as well as thought-provoking discussion questions, Bonnie Rose engages readers in a way that tugs at the heart. You’ll learn about the fascinating history of each country, animals,culture, and most importantly, the tender stories of faithful Christians who truly know what it means to be persecuted for the faith.
Bonnie Rose also provides free bonus content on her website to go along: http://writebonnierose.com/asia-its-people-and-history/.
