Description
Publisher's Description of Tuttle Twins Guide to: Courageous Heroes
Daring men and women aren’t just found in the pages of fictional stories. In fact, history offers us a number of examples of people who stood up for what was right in the face of significant opposition. Their stories can inspire us to also be courageous when the situation calls for it.
Whether the problem is a large one, like a dictatorial state or a cultural prejudice, or a small one, such as standing up to a bully, we can resolve to be a hero and fight for what is right.
That’s why the stories in this book are so impactful—they offer us an opportunity to learn lessons from the lives of a wide variety of people and ponder how we might have acted in a similar situation.
These heroes often stand out because so many of their peers failed to act likewise. Sadly, too few seem to have the courage to oppose something that is wrong. But these stories can help us prepare to be counted as someone who will choose the right!
Hardback book; 246 pages of content.
Category Description for Tuttle Twins Guides
This is a unique series for pre-teens and teenagers. It tackles heavy topics in story form following the Tuttle Twins, who are now older than in their children's books. The viewpoint is conservative, libertarian, and patriotic. The books focus on the principles of a free society: free markets, competition, personal responsibility, protectionism and more. Information is presented in a way that students can understand. Much is presented in Q and A dialogue. Black and white illustrations are eye-catching and not overdone to look like a comic book. Examples are relatable to young people. While the stories often reflect Christian principles, they do not use scripture so we tag them as being neutral.
