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.

Learning Contentment

An excellent book that points us back to God's word and His exhortation to be content in all circumstances.

Amazing

I love this book and have bought it for many of my friends this Christmas. Thank you, Andy Naselli, Canon Press, and most importantly the Lord Jesus for this tremendous resource on why reading well is vital!

Not Lewis, but darn near close

I absolutely love Lewis’ Screwtape letters, so it was a hard sell to believe someone could fill those shoes. Tilly absolutely lives up to the hype though and makes your squirm from the moment you open the book.

QUALITY product. I was pleased with the packing as well -- it looked like someone carefully and thoughtfully packed a gift for me. The binding looks just like the advertised picture. SO excited to give these as gifts.

I used it with a student group. It was a helpful supplement to the video, though sometimes it was difficult to fully integrate the three resources; book, video and study guide. More material like this would be welcome.

I really like the simplicity of the item. The bottom elastic is a little snug for my preference but otherwise, the size is right and the quality seems good.

Extremely comfortable and from a great source!

Excellent

This book is an encapsulation for why I love Canon Press and have followed them through the years. —Practical truth for raising your kids in the Lord, raising your kids in the church, helping to build a godly framework for making the right decisions, discipline them when they go off the rails, teaching repentance and forgiveness for sin goes both ways, and working diligently at being a consistent example for them in your own life so that they can see you Love and obey the Lord too.

Needs the wind to blow in one direction

Overall I love this flag. Its large. Its study. It’s fun. It’s subversive in a Kingdom way while confusing the neighbors into thinking I am a pirate.

The only issue, and thus is the nature of the product and not a fault of Canon, is that the side printed with the words “No Quarter November” shows through the other side backwards, as it must. So when the wind blows in one direction it’s legal and if the other way not so much. Again, not a fault of Canon but the buyer just might want to be aware.

Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat! Will I fly it every November? You bet! If only some day to honor DOUG Wilson’s legacy.

Great

Thought the book had some great arguments for why we should not neglect the Authorized Version. I really enjoyed it.
