Teach your 3-7 year old kids about the life of John Knox the Reformer. Who was John Knox? He fought for a return to biblical Christianity in Scotland.


The Life of John Knox the Reformer for Your Children

Catherine Mackenzie’s Little Lights series is a delightful collection of Christian biographies for children aged 4-7.

I began reading these to my boys when they were around 2 and 3 years old, and we used the earlier books in the series to practice reading when they were first learning.

One aspect of the stories that helped with reading was that they are told simply and engagingly, beginning in the childhood of each Christian hero, and moving through their life.

Each spread is unique in that the left-hand side of the page is for the parent to read to the child (or for young readers to practice their skills), and the right-hand side of the page there is a simple sentence for the very earliest readers to read.

The Life of John Knox the Reformer for Your Children

The Life of John Knox the Reformer

I want to thank Christian Focus Publications for providing me with a copy of Who Will Save You?: John Knox in return for my honest opinion.

Who will save you?: John Knox (Christian Focus Publications, 2015) is the fourteenth book in this excellent series.

John Knox was a Reformer from Scotland in the 1500s. Knox was a body guard, turned tutor, then turned (reluctantly) preacher. He fought for the right to remain Protestant in the St. Andrews castle. Upon losing, Knox was imprisoned as a galley slave for the French.

Once freed, he lived as an exile in Europe, preaching God’s Word and fighting for religious liberty before finally returning home to Scotland.

If you have children under the age of eight, I highly recommend the entire Little Lights series.

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.

The Who What Why Series is the perfect resource to teach your kids about history, while helping them apply biblical truths to their lives today.

    I have a question. Would it work well to start in year 3? I have 8 kids ages 16 to 8 months that I will be using it with. I wondered if we would be missing key things that you would expect them to remember from year 1 or 2. Thanks!

      Brandy, starting in Year Three works really well. I think it’s even more effective if you start in Year Three, then cycle through Year One, Two, and then Three again. ~ Danika
