What Was the Underground Railway?

Introduce children to the inspiring true story of the Underground Railroad and the courageous Christians who risked everything to help enslaved people find freedom. Written especially for readers aged 9–11, Danika Cooley explains how ordinary men and women, motivated by their faith in God and love for their neighbours, became part of a secret network that offered hope, protection and escape. Young readers will discover the historical events, key people and biblical principles that shaped this remarkable movement, while learning how God's justice, compassion and faithfulness were displayed through those who stood against slavery. Part of the Who, What, Why series, this engaging book includes a helpful timeline and historical background, making church history accessible, memorable and firmly rooted in biblical truth.
