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.

Great message and a cute story. Can't wait to read this to my little guy.

This is an amazing book. The art is beautiful, the story is so exciting and fun. Exactly what my little adventurer would love. I can't wait to give it to him for Christmas.

Favorite Latin books

As one who never learned Latin myself, I’m unqualified to teach it. The great blessing of these books for me is that they are teaching me (the teacher) how to teach Latin! Additionally, this is the first curriculum I found to use pictures (beautiful ones!) to teach vocabulary… much like how we learned our first language. At last, I am enjoying teaching Latin, my children are enjoying it, and we are all actually LEARNING it. God bless one and all who put, I’m sure, years of work into it.

Pretty cool

This is a beautifully illustrated, enchanting story for children. It was bought as a birthday gift for my 5yo.

Phenomenal

This book is very clear, helpful, and visionary on the subject matter. More great material from Doug Wilson.

Delightful Read !

Very helpful OT introduction. Written at a high school reading level and lots of insights into OT/NT connections and themes. Peter writes exceptionally clear prose and there is no filler. Wonderful read! A+

Good/Rare Message

Amazing message for my boys to hear. Most books today are focused on girls, while Blah Blah let's boys be boys and doesn't encourage them to chop their genitals off. Really good artwork too.

Instant Favorite

My children absolutely loved this book and the illustrations. The story is really helpful to demonstrate the effects of having a complaining attitude in a way that shows the ugliness of this sin and then points them to a better way. This book was an instant favorite!

Inspired

This story really hit home, and brings sunshine to a bad attitude.

Great for a trouble maker

Love this one, this reminds me a lot of my son and inspires others to be fun and authentic too.

Great Adventure

This instantly became a book the we read over and over again. It felt good to see my son excited about a wholesome story.

Helpful

This study guide has been helpful to follow during our book club discussion time.

Solid Curriculum

Solid Curriculum for the beginner/transitioning school, or the school who does not have access to many Latin teachers. We have used it for at least 5 years, and do not have intentions of changing it yet.

Meh?

The advertising for this book played it up as if it was encouraging rough and tumble boys to be leaders and protect those around them. In reality it was a very thin version that concept set to the tune of bah bah black sheep lacking substance and direction.

Excellent Men's Group Study

This book is so good, we decided to use it for our men's breakfast study. We've also found it to be a valuable resource for some counseling. We're thankful for Dr. Rigney's ministry and for the great resources from Canon Press. Thank you.

My kid's (and now my) favorite book

I've been blessed by the sense of adventure this has put into the heart of my young boy's. Every boy should dream of taking to the seas and slaying the dragon that threatens everything you love.
