Read Alouds--And the Word Came With Power

As a part of Ben and Caleb's home school curriculum this year, there are a number of read aloud books. The first one that we've tackled is "And the Word Came With Power" by Joanne Shetler. It is the story of how a young missionary woman goes with Wycliffe Bible Translators to the Philippines. So far it is a great story of how God provides for her many needs and works in the hearts of the Balangao people. The book is a well written, interesting account of the joys and difficulties of entering into another culture. You can read a little bit of the story at Wycliffe's site here.

Looks like a great book. I think colorful biographies like this are so inspiring!
