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--David Livingstone, missionary to Africa. For us, one of the most fun parts of writing the Trailblazer Books is doing the research. Escape From the Slave Traders was no exception--digging up facts about missionaries, learning about the slave trade, exploring the fascinating continent of Africa and its people and customs, discovering Africa's complicated history and how that affected missionaries like David Livingstone. We hardly knew where to stop! We hope reading Escape From the Slave Traders will whet your appetite to find out more about Africa and David Livingstone. 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
