John Perkins is true hero

John Perkins is a modern-day apostle Paul. In Terry Whalin's book, John Perkins (ages 8-12), we find a man who overcame poverty, racism, beatings, humiliation, and unbelievable odds to spread the gospel of Christ. Growing up in the deep south where racial tension was at its highest and most volatile, Perkins persevered and diligently sought after his dream. He is a role model for all of us, a shining example of what God can do in and through a man totally sold out to serving Him. Whalin does a remarkable job of capturing the fervor and heart of John Perkins. Get this book for your child; introduce him/her to a real hero.
