32 Christians Who Changed Their World

The Christian faith is a call to adventure. Be inspired by these thirty-two saints and give thanks for their faithful stories. Now go and do likewise where God has put you.

For two thousand years, average Christians have been transforming culture, and this collection of stories by Dr. Glenn Sunshine tells some of those stories. Men like Robert Grosseteste and Roger Bacon laid the foundations for science. Political figures like Abba Enbaqom and Sorghaghtani Beki (daughter-in-law of Genghis Khan) promoted Christianity in societies hostile to it. Christians like Roque González and Solomon Plaatje opposed racial oppression, and heroes like Andre Trocme and Ho Fengshan helped Jews escape the Holocaust.

These men and women all have stories that show how broad and transformative the Christian faith really has been on the world. Learn these stories and be like them.

Heralds of the Reformation

Why do we have Bibles in our own language everywhere? Why is the Gospel preached from the depths of Africa to the remotest parts of the Himalayas? It is because heroes of the faith gave their lives to bring the Word of God to the world.

The Reformation was an era with many examples of remarkable faithfulness, courage, and learning. However, few Christians today are familiar with their spiritual ancestors, the men who are responsible not only for much of our current understanding of the Bible and the Christian gospel, but also for the massive explosion of the Gospel all over the world today. If we want to continue to bear witness to the truth as faithfully as our fathers in the faith, we need to know their stories. Hannula's book includes thirty short, but profound stories of Reformation-era courage. They can easily be read aloud to children or used by homeschoolers as part of their curriculum. Additionally, this book includes an overview of key events in the Reformation, a detailed Timeline from 1516 to 1598, seven short summaries of Reformation Basics, and comprehension questions and answers on all thirty biographies.

Radiant

Your family will be fascinated and fed by these fifty true stories of great Christian women throughout history.

From South America to Europe, from China to Africa to the Wild West, in prisons and in throne rooms, many great Christians have left a stunning legacy for their successors. These short and moving biographies for young people introduce fifty often unfamiliar champions of the faith: women like Ida Kahn, who opened the first hospital in a Chinese city of 300,000 people; Lady Anne Hamilton, who rode with the Covenanter cavalry at the decisive Battle of Berwick; and Anngrace Taban, who was forced to type secret battle plans for the Sudan People's Liberation Army. In a culture where women's role in society is often at question, these examples of faithfulness can remind us that courage and godliness are possible anywhere, even if you are surrounded by Muslim raiders, Japanese guards, Nazis, or cannibals.

Wartime Songbook

Disappointed

I love the quotes that are included in the calendar. I look forward to the new quote each day. However, I am disappointed in the quality of the materials. The pages are quite thin, so I have to be careful when I turn the pages. The cardboard frame is also flimsy and doesn't stand up well on it's own. I've had to modify it a bit so it doesn't fall over. The coil is good quality, but I don't know if the rest will hold up long-term.

Quote Calendar

Fantastic content. My wife loves it. I give it four stars because it doesn't stand up on its own very well without bending from the weight of all the cards. The inside triangle of the calendar just needs to be more sturdy. I'll probably reinforce it with some cardboard.

Crispin's Rainy Day

Incredible quality! My husband and son love them!

Daily Encouragement

I really enjoy the daily encouragement and reminders of God’s faithfulness.

Love this calendar! There are a few quotes that only make more sense in context—or can be confusing for people who haven’t listened to a particular talk or sermon.
Otherwise, they stand alone very well and are very encouraging!

Nancy has the ability to cut to the chase and offer true Biblical wisdom that is very practical and helpful! Every older (40 and up) lady needs this one! Thank you!

My wife loves it!!!

My wife loves it!!!

Historically Compelling

I ordered a dozen of these to use in study for men who are often asking the question, “How are we as Christians to engage is political discourse with our families, friends, in small groups, and at work?” Sunshine has given us an amazing war chest of insights and knowledge to more articulately engage those conversations.

My son loves these!

Helpful nuggets every day

My wife (and I) look forward to reading this every day. We are on our second year and bought three for friends!

Femina Quote Calendar

I have had this calendar now for over a year, and have purchased seven more as gifts over the last two Christmases. The daily encouragement (and as one of my friends put it, sometimes it's more like daily conviction!) is a real blessing that not only I value, but I notice other members of my family peeking at throughout the day. Many thanks to you for publishing it, and for the authors' wisdom shared.

Blah Blah Black Sheep

For my 6 yr old

This one is simple and great for new readers. She is very interested in reading everything and loves that she can pick this one up and read much of it. It will be one we read often, and maybe that will help understand the moral and point, for all of us. And it’s confusing when a rhyming book stops rhyming in a weird way…

What a great daily reference!

My 7 year old son’s favorite. Whenever there is complaining we reference this book and it helps snap the kids back into a more cheerful form. Cute tale, fun illustrations, and fun to read.

Christmas present

Cute story. My 7 & 6 year old really enjoyed it, especially the pictures. Personally I love the gender roles depicted and the bro/sis relationship with in those. I see it daily at my house.

A good guide for a timeless masterpiece

This is a great tool for highlighting some of the main points in each section. A second and third edition could be written and still not fully encompass Calvin’s masterpiece.

This book is truly amazing! It’s as if it puts on glasses that both zoom in and zoom out on the world at the same time! If you ever find yourself growing bored of the world around you, this book is definitely a must-read.
