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.

New Family Favourite!

Mom and Dad are almost as excited for bedtime as our little adventurers. We are really appreciate the details hidden in the illustrations that you can only notice after reading it several times. Thank you for this wonderful addition to our home library!

Great book

My 6 year old loved this and it has moved to the top of the list for repeated reads. Thank you!

Eye opening for my sons!

My two boys tend to clique together and disregard their sole sister. It was so fun to see them consider how to include her in their play in the way that Crispen did. And her in Oregon we have lots of Rainy days coming up, so I look forward to reading this to them again and sending them off on their own adventure where they can be thankful for a sister who will care for them while they protect her. I will be purchasing this for my nephew!

Excellent

Wonderful artwork and the message was clear and sweet.

Fun, meaningful and highly enjoyable story!

My kids and I love this book, and have read it too many times to count! A very fun story, with great values and excellent illustration!

Sequel when?

My kids and I love this book. I appreciate the language used in the writing. The art is excellent and I can only hope to see more from the characters and their adventures. My kids are waiting for more!

Crispin's Rainy Day

Great bedtime story for my toddler

My three year old son loves the book, and asks for it to be his bedtime story every night. Blessings and a curse as my wife and I have it all but memorized. He’s definitely a happy customer though.

Great children’s book!! 10/10

Hard to read? Stay on it!

It took me a long time to see how bad envy had rotted out areas of my life, but God is faithful to forgive us our sins. Tilly Dillehay does a great job walking through some of the common ways envy settles into the bones and why it's enormously dangerous. I am thankful for her Biblical stance as she reminds us that Christ is all, and in him, envy has no room to roost.

Crispin’s Rainy Day

This is SUCH a wonderful book—the story AND the illustrations! I ordered copies for each of our sons’ families. The grandchildren were delighted. Even the 10 year old! I think I need to order another copy for myself—to keep at Nana’s House! Great job, Mr. Dickison AND Canon Press! May God continue to bless the work of your hands.

Beautiful picture book

This was such a delightful book and our entire family from 1 up to 42 enjoyed it. Both the story and pictures hold up to multiple reads.

My sons’ new favorite book! He LOVES the art work.

Great *little hat

Great looking hat, but it is tiny. If you are an average sized man, this probably isn’t for you. Looks good on my kid though!

Tremendous book, my boys love it, art is great too, esp. The panel with the dragon flying by

Great Curriculum

I have used this curriculum with my own children and am currently teaching it at a co-op with a mix of middle schoolers and high schoolers. It is simple to use and is engaging and fun, even for a teacher that has no previous experience studying logic.

Good story

The children’s grandmother loved this book and she has read thousands of children’s books.
