“You say if I leave, then my life will be free, but it’s my son’s life, not mine, that means most to me.”
Brave Books is a fairly new publishing company (2021) that was created to openly counter the worldly agendas taking over children’s literature. Each of their books addresses a specific topic or virtue in a creative way. Characters overlap between books, but each story can also stand on its own (and be read in any order).
The leadership’s intent from the beginning has been biblically based, and each author professes to be Christian. The stories’ emphases are accurate and true to Scripture as far as I’ve read (if that changes, you know I’ll have an update here), though any direct mention of the Bible is only in the back activity pages.
Even though the books can be bought individually, Brave’s sweet spot lies in their subscription packages. If it seems like a good fit for your family, check out their website by clicking here. There are various options and extra perks for subscribers!
I have created a page dedicated to only Brave books, so check back occasionally (here) to see additions. And happy reading!
