The Legend of Gid the Kid and the Black Bean Bandits (Heroes of Promise, Band 1)

As the first book in the Heroes of Promise series, Gid the Kid and the Black Bean Bandits introduces children to the concept of trusting God and dealing with bullies. Based on the story of Gideon, found in Judges 5: 11-7: 25, Gid the Kid teaches a valuable lesson about standing up for what's right even when it isn't easy. In this story, Gid learns that the West can get a little wild, not because of people who do wrong, but because of good people who don't stand up for what's right.
