Middle-Grade Biography Highlights Phillis Wheatley's Life of Faith, Determination, and Intellect

Phillis Wheatley, ripped away from her family and sold into a life of slavery, would one day negotiate her way to freedom. Unwilling to succumb to the brokenness around her, Wheatley believed God had a redemptive plan for her life. Through her poetry and prayer, Wheatley beautifully expressed her trust in the Lord and called the nation and important American figures to Christ, while advocating for freedom from injustices that plagued the country.

This short and lively biography invites middle-grade readers to explore the life of Phillis Wheatley, highlighting her inspiring testimony and remarkable work as a poet, abolitionist, and wife. Through her story, readers learn that God works even in the harshest circumstances, ensuring that nothing can separate them from his love, word, and salvation. Featuring illustrations, maps, timelines, bonus sidebars, and study questions, this addition to the Lives of Faith and Grace series engages kids ages 8-13 in the drama of history, showing how God worked in the past through ordinary people like them.
