George Washington Carver, a Christian Hero
There once was a young man who wanted to learn to do 
something which was vital to his existence. He wanted to learn to read. George Washington Carver was that young man with an insatiable desire to learn. And learn he did. All of his life. It all began with a Bible given to him as a teenager, and a habit developed which set the course of his life: He read it every day.
I invite you to read about his life, which was one of perseverance and resourcefulness. As you read, you’ll find the life of one born black at a time when that meant getting an education was a rarity. Read, and let your children read, about a life that resisted suppression and embraced hard work and achievement. Read about how we’ve all benefited from this one life. And it all started by reading his Bible. Go to Glimpses for Kids for the full story.
