Olaudah Equiano: A Man of Many Names (Emily J. Maurits)
$8.99A little ten year old boy played with his sister as the adults of his village attended to their chores. What happened that day would separate them forever – sending the young boy thousands of miles away from everything and everyone he had ever known. Kidnapped into slavery, Olaudah was forced to work for others. His life was no longer his own. Olaudah had lost everything. His country, his family, his freedom and even his name.
But although he was given other names by people who saw it as their right to own him, the ten year old boy eventually grew up and obtained his freedom. He claimed back his name in order to write his own memoir as part of the fight against slavery.
Olaudah Equiano may have been a child who lost everything, even his name – but he came to know the joy of forgiveness in Christ, and the true freedom that comes with trusting in Jesus’ name.

Robert Moffat: Africa’s Brave Heart (Irene Howat)
$8.99The story of a Scottish minister and his wife in Africa – the precursors to David Livingstone. With a sword, a shovel, a Bible, and great courage, Robert used the skills he had learned growing up in a Scottish village to translate the Bible into Tswana and to share God’s love with Africa.
Robert Moffat could think on his feet and use his hands. He was strong, practical, and just the sort of guy you needed to back you up when you were in a difficult spot. Not only that, he had courage – loads of it! And he longed to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the people of Africa.
As Robert faced the dangers of drought, wild animals, and even the daggers and spears of the people he had come to help, he used his unique collection of talents to spread the gospel. He became known as “Africa’s Brave Heart”, as he blazed a trail into unknown regions, starting a work on that dark continent which continues to this day.
Robert Moffat and his wife preceded David Livingstone to Africa, and helped him to learn enough about Africa to begin to yearn to go there himself. After some meetings in the United Kingdom, David Livingstone married the Moffat’s daughter, Mary.

The Wanderer in Africa (A. L. O. E.)
$15.50Charlotte Maria Tucker (1821 – 1893) was a prolific writer and poet for children and adults, who preferred to write under the pseudonym A. L. O. E. (a Lady of England).
This is an amazing story about a young man who turns his back on his family in order to fulfill his lustful and greedy heart. Far from home, he finds himself in Africa, wasted and hopeless, until…well, of course you will have to read the book. But the main beauty of the story is that it is based on Psalm 32. Each chapter teaches and important spiritual and moral principle.
Character themes in this story: choices, consequences, obedience and boundaries.

William Wilberforce: The Freedom Fighter (Derick Bingham)
$8.99“No! No!”, cried the little boy. “Please no! I want to stay with my Mother!”
“Be quiet!,”, shouted the man who had roughly pulled his mother from him. She was taken to a raise platform and offered for sale immediately. The heart-broken mother was to be separated from her little boy for the rest of her life.
This was the fate of millions of women and children in the years before slavery was finally abolished. One man stood alone, against nearly all the leaders of his nation, insisting that this hideous practice be made illegal, and his passion gradually transformed the outlook of a nation. His name was William Wilberforce.
It took him 45 years of his life to do it, but William was determined. He would make the business of “slave trading” illegal in England, no matter how long he had to work to do it! This inhumanity had to be stopped, and it took a man with strong faith in Christ and love for people to transform one of the ugliest features of his nation. A story that must be told to every generation!

The Negro Servant and The Black Prince (Legh Richmond)
$6.00Two 19th century stories of lasting value, combined for the first time in one volume. Each tells of the work of the grace of God in the lives of young men. One, born into royalty (The Black Prince) comes to know and love Christ.
The other, living in slavery (The Negro Servant) comes to know the same Savior.
But what different plans God has for each of their lives! Holding the power of royalty will not prevent God from humbling us, if He wills, and being enslaved will not hinder Him from exalting us, if that is His plan.

A Boy of Two Worlds (Lorna Eglin)
$7.25So unlike many Christian children’s books, this is not a watered-down ‘easy-believism’, but rather an exploration of all that is involved in becoming a Christian, from belief to discipleship to becoming an evangelist yourself – yet all put in simple language and parables the young can understand. I can highly recommend this doctrinally sound and extremely educational children’s book, as of a higher standard which can safely be distributed to the children in the our churches without misleading them to a simplistic view of conversion.
