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.

Do much fun

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old ball of energy boy. I handed it to my husband before I hid it away and he was chuckling out loud. Very rare in a picture book!

Excellent book

This book is the most Biblically grounded, practical parenting book I've ever read. Pastor Brock does an amazing job humbly applying Proverbs 22:6 "Train a child up in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." My husband and I are both first generation Christians who have needed a lot of Biblical wisdom in raising our children. This book helped us as well as other members of our church to apply the scriptures in our parenting. If there is any parenting book I would recommend, it's this one! Thank you Canon and Pastor Brock!

Classic for endless reads to the Grandkids

The storyline, plot and worldview are spot-on!

I wish this book was around when I was a younger woman. I could have really benefitted from the wisdom. Even still, the lessons exposed are even that much more powerful for me now. I would love to go through this book with some kind of women’s mentorship group at our church. Looking forward to sharing this with my own daughter when she is old enough.

Intriguing style

There are all kinds of hidden messages that can be read into each page of twists and turns of the old alphabet books versus the Bible, versus Doug Wilson's penetrating irony.

Christian labor?

I prefer Made in the USA products, sourced from Christians overseas, or lastly from "milder communists", although Pastor Doug Wilson has commented in the past about our inability to control what the evil countries do ultimately; it's in God's hands.

A delightful, thought-provoking, and inspiring read.

A great adventure

My kids love this book. They want to read it every day. I love that it is a poem so it introduces rhyming. It’s fun to read and the illustrations are vibrant and fun!

Very fun book

My kids, love it.

Excellent Hymnal

Shipped quickly with no damage, an excellent hymnal for every church. Large ranges of music form from easy to quite difficult. Contains almost every classic hymn.

Boys love it

My boys are slow at enjoying school but this one they ask for over and over again!

A wild ride and great insight to the temptations of a women

I bought this book mainly to get an idea of how a woman would tell the story of female temptation. I hoped for a behind-the-curtain look at my own wife’s struggles and how my daughter (age 2) might face similar challenges in the future.

My Dear Hemlock did not disappoint. Tilly Dillehay did an amazing job capturing the feel and style of C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters. The read was as insightful as I’d hoped and wildly engaging. I’ll be ordering more copies as gifts this Christmas.
