"Students become immersed in the Great Depression, World War II, Biblical truths, and Seventh-day Adventist doctrine as they read the conversion story of James Finley, father of noted world evangelist Mark Finley. The unit begins by introducing the six syllable types which are used as the basis for breaking down spelling and vocabulary words encountered in the reading. Cognitive and comprehension strategies are also taught." This integrated unit was written by the book's author.
