Introduce Young Readers to Christian Heroes of the Past Dear parents, teachers, and Trailblazer readers, You are about to take an exciting adventure and meet a great Christian hero--Amy Carmichael, missionary to India. For us, one of the most fun parts of writing the Trailblazer Books is doing the research. The Hidden Jewel was no exception--digging up facts about missionaries, learning about the British Empire, exploring the fascinating country of India and its people and customs, discovering India's complicated history and how that affected missionaries like Amy Carmichael. We hardly knew where to stop! We hope reading The Hidden Jewel will whet your appetite to find out more about India and Amy Carmichael. Use this Curriculum Guide by our good friend and fellow writer Julia Pferdehirt to launch you on a journey of discovery. Let us know what you find out!--you can contact us by email at DaveNeta@trailblazerbooks.com. You can also learn a little more about us and some of the other Trailblazer adventures waiting for you on our Web site: www.trailblazerbooks.com. Happy exploring! Dave and Neta Jackson
