Squanto And The Miracle Of Thanksgiving by Eric
Metaxas, Shannon Stirnweis
This entertaining and historical story shows that the actual hero of
Thanksgiving was neither white nor Indian, but God. In 1608, English
traders came to Massachusetts and captured a 12-year old Indian, Squanto,
and sold him into slavery. He was raised by Christians and taught faith
in God. Ten years later he was sent home to America. Upon arrival, he
learned an epidemic had wiped out his entire village. But God had plans
for Squanto. God delivered a Thanksgiving miracle: an English-speaking
Indian living in the exact place where the Pilgrims land in a strange
new world.
