From Sea to Shining Sea: Discovering God's Plan for America in Her First Half-Century of Independence, 1787-1837 (Ages 8-12)

by Peter Marshall & David Manuel with Anna Fishell

From Sea to Shining Sea for Children tells Americas story during its first fifty years. These were the days of Benjamin Franklin and Daniel Boone, Francis Asbury and Charles Finney, Andrew Jackson and Sam Houston. During these years Conestoga wagons and circuit riders became famous, Indian wars and slavery were major concerns, and the Louisiana Purchase and the Oregon Trail expanded Americas boundaries from sea to shining sea. But God was also at work in the young nation, giving its settlers exciting opportunities to shape its history and to be His people. This book, written primarily for young people in the middle grades, includes study questions for each chapter and helps its readers see Gods part in American history.

From Sea to Shining Sea for Children Activity Book (Ages 5-8)

by Peter Marshall

NEW FOR BEGINNING READERS "My son devoured the Children's Version of 'The Light and the Glory', but his younger sisters, 5 and 7, were jealous. Couldn't there be an activity and/or coloring book for little ones? There's no age too young to start learning that the early Americans loved God and knew that He loved them, too." Now now there are Children's Activity Books for very young and would-be readers (ages 5 to 8). Pilgrim and Puritan children of this age were well familiar with God's role in their lives and in the life of their village or colony. But in today's public schools, it is virtually ignored. Your children will enjoy the many coloring pages--and learning of the faith of the first Americans, and why we sing God Bless America.
