MAITLAND, FL—
Within the pages of The New Pioneers ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-61904-736-5; $25.99,
hardcover, 978-1-61904-737-2; $7.99, eBook, 978-1-61904-738-9), written by the students
of SonHaven Preparatory Academy as well as Reverend Dr. Thomas and Dr. Carolyn L.
Hilt, readers will be inspired to research and gain knowledge of their own
ancestral background. These students have written down their family histories
ranging from ocean voyages, covered wagons, train rides and any other method
used to reach the land known as Florida. Through the process, they were able to
discover not only the historical background, but also the spiritual history of
their families as well. This book points out that every individual has a hand
in pioneering not only the great State of Florida, but also the United States
as a whole. It shows the interconnectedness between every individual, both
living and non-living.
“This
unique book is written and drawn by children as young as the age of seven.
Children researched their familial roots and found that the stories that were
passed down were history in the making,” expresses Hilt. “They discovered they
were part of the foundational fabric of the settlement of the State of Florida.
There arose a pride in their pioneering spirit whether stemming from the 17th
century or the 21st century. It solidified the bond of family
through the generations and opened dialogue with relatives they might not have
had otherwise. They learned that their spiritual roots reaped a lasting
harvest.”
Reverend
Dr. Thomas and Dr. Carolyn Hilt bring over thirty years of Christian
educational expertise to The New
Pioneers. They have founded three Christian schools in the past thirty
years and before that they were overseas missionaries in Okinawa and Guam. SonHaven
recently celebrated its tenth year, while the Hilt’s school in Guam is now in
its thirtieth year.
