Great devotions for boys! As a Mom of 4 boys sometimes you need a little break and reminder of certain things in your busy day! We also really loved the illustrations!

This was only a sample, not the full book, but I really liked what I read of it! Short and to the point stories of brave men of faith. My son enjoyed the parts he read, too.

100 Adventurous Stories for Brave Boys by Glenn Hascall is a good read for young boys. Today's young boys desperately need role models to look to, especially heroes of the faith. That is exactly what this book aims to do. I think it is a wonderful read for young boys. I recommend it. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

I homeschool our nine and eleven year old boys. They (along with me) are enjoying this book so much! I’d highly recommend it for any elementary or middle school boy or girl!

This is a great book full of interesting stories for young boys. The stories are encouraging and offer good role modeling for young kids. Very creatively written and captivating for young minds.

This is a PERFECT book for adopting into a homeschool program or just to read at night before bed. There are stories from people like Drew Brees, CS Lewis as well as many popular people from the Bible. A really cool way to get boys interested and engaged-especially if they can relate to the person in the story. This would be great to use as a quick read for homeschoolers as well.

'100 Adventurous Stories for Brave Boys' is a nice compendium of stories that highlight men of faith from modern times to ancient history. The text is easy to read and approachable. Each page of text is accompanied by a full-color cartoon illustration of the subject and an appropriate verse.

100 Adventurous Stories for Boys is a fantastic book for young kiddos who are interested is learning about men of faith. I appreciate how author Glenn Hascall does not elevate the men themselves, but instead points towards God's sovereignty and grace in their lives. These guys did not accomplish great things by their own strength, but by God's will.

This is a great primer for learning about men of character. At 8 years old, reading a couple well-written pages about Bonhoeffer could definitely inspire that boy to read The Cost of Discipleship at highschool age later on. Personally, I feel inspired by this book to read up on the writings of Jonathan Edwards and I'm excited about that!

I have struggled to find male heroes with strong upstanding character in juvenile literature. This book highlights Biblical, historical and contemporary figures that honor God with their lives. I will share these stories with my grandsons, encouraging them to show God to everyone around them.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and honestly review this title.

I didn't read each word of this book, but I did read a lot of it and I am SO excited about this book that I will be order at least 3. Two for each of my boys (so they don't fight over it! lol) and one to give away....at least. This is such an encouraging book and I loved each story about strong people, like Drew Brees, Elijah, Elisha, and more.

I also loved that on each page with a story, there was a scripture to go along with it at the end. I love that my boys will be encouraged to read the Bible while reading about men who did great things with their lives and overcame struggles and problems.

This book is a must read for boys of all ages. I think my four year old will enjoy it as much as my 9 year old will. Thank you for giving me a chance to read this book. This is simply amazing and very well done.

I also loved how there were colorful paintings between the stories which keeps the children interested and wanting to read more. Very well done, very well written and a must for all boys!
