Christian history for kids is valuable! Here are 4 reasons you’ll want to teach the history of God’s people.


4 Reasons to Teach Christian History to Your Kids


Christian history matters for our kids.

Not only that, learning about Christian history can be fun for children. After all, they are drawn to story, and they gravitate toward heroes!

Let’s talk about four compelling reasons for sharing stories about the history of our faith with your kids. Then, we’ll explore some fantastic Christian history books you’ll want to check out!

Reasons to Teach Christian History to Your Kids

1) Teaching Christian History gives kids heroes.

Humans gravitate toward celebrities, sports stars and comic book characters. Let’s give our kids some real heroes–people who loved Jesus and lived to his glory.

The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!” ~ Psalm 16:3 (NLT)


When Lightning Struck!: The Story of Martin Luther for your teens.


2) Teaching Christian History gives kids peers and a family history.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” ~ Hebrews 12:1-3 (ESV)

What could be better than allowing the “cloud of witnesses” to point our kids toward Jesus?

3) Teaching Christian History gives kids a clear view of God’s sovereign hand in history.

Charles Spurgeon (the “Prince of Preachers”) once said:

Cheer up, Christian!  Things are not left to chance: no blind fate rules the world. God hath purposes, and those purposes are fulfilled. God hath plans, and those plans are wise, and never can be dislocated.”

We often cannot see God’s purposes in our own lives, but we can recognize them years later in the lives of others.

4) Teaching Christian History gives kids solid examples of lives sold-out for Jesus.

One of my boys wrote a long testimony to give on the day of his baptism. He gave me permission to share the last paragraph with you. He was nine at the time:

I’m a Christian. I will follow Jesus for the rest of my life…  I’ve been thinking about all the great Christians we’ve been reading about like Lillian Trasher, Mary Slessor, and Eric Liddell.  I want to be like them–a God-fearing Christian who leads many lives to Christ. I will follow Jesus with my life.”

Christian History Books

When children are young, we teach Christian history simply by reading it. You can incorporate the readings into your history, science, art, music, devotions or bedtime routine.

I’m excited to share some of my favorite Christian history books and series with you.

  • Martin Luther’s story is exciting.There are death defying moments, epic spiritual battles, narrow escapes, a kidnapping, revolution, and war. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Luther is a vital figure in Church history. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the truth of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone as explained by Scripture alone once again. When Lightning Struck!: The Story of Martin Luther from Danika Cooley and Fortress Press is the perfect family read-aloud, and a fun narrative read for your teens!
  • The Old Testament in the Bible covers important history, from Creation through the Prophets. God called a people unto himself, taught them–and now us–who he is and how to worship him, and helped us understand why we need a Savior. Teach your kids about the Old Testament with fun narrative and important biblical truth through the Who What Why series from Danika Cooley and Christian Focus Publications.
  • The Reformation was an important time in both the history of the Christian Church, and in global history. God used his Word, new technology, and faithful believers to bring people to the truth of Scripture. We are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone. Scripture alone is our authority–not the word of councils or popes. We live our lives and do all things to the glory of God alone. Teach your kids about the Reformation Church with fun narrative and important biblical truth through the Who What Why series from Danika Cooley and Christian Focus Publications.
  • In Christian history, the Modern Church has faced turbulence, growth, and reformation. The Modern Church has seen the rise of missions and evangelism. It has experienced brutal wars and oppressive regimes. The Modern Church, too, saw the rise–and fought for the end–of chattel slavery. During the time of abolition, many Christians chose to glorify God by loving their neighbors as themselves. Believers searched Scripture to find what the Lord has to say about his creation. All humans are made in the image of God. We are to love and care for others. Through the preaching and teaching of God’s Word, many Christians learned to sacrifice on behalf of those in need. Teach your kids about the Modern Church with fun narrative and important biblical truth through the Who What Why series from Danika Cooley and Christian Focus Publications.

“As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.” – Psalm 16:3, ESV  

Christian History Matters for Our Kids.

History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible.

Here’s why:

  • God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It’s important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings. 
  • Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
  • Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.   
  • Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God’s Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.    
  • Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others–and on history. 

Elementary-aged kids need middle grade resources that are fun, a little sassy, and that teach valuable lessons.
