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 GonzƔlez 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.

My most read book these last 10 years

This teaching unlocks the book of Ecclesiastes unlike any other, and has made it a central work to understanding ā€˜the good life’ with God, where Joy is a battle hardened joy and understanding of all that life throws at you so you can still throw a party anytime, anywhere! It’s cool to say Ecclesiastes is a fantastic book of the Bible instead of ā€œthat book is a downerā€. Joy at the End of the Teather is more than a must read, whatever that level is called.

Pertinent

Such a great asset to propel further discussion between my daughters and myself!! Thank you for putting so many topics in together for us to chew over!

Love the God centered exhortation and straight forward encouragement to our responsibility as followers of Christ.

This board book survived three little ninjas.

Excellent at putting even the most hyped-up bellyfloppers straight to bed.

The best of What Have You...for teens!

THIS BOOK.

Felt like some of the best ā€œWhat Have Youā€ podcast episodes condensed into teen-appropriate pep talks.

It’s especially timely for teenage ladies (the target audience), but it’s also timely for any women who need the encouragement to ā€œstop thinking that their emotions are their most attractive feature,ā€ quit envying others on social media, feast daily on God’s word, repent quickly, say no to drama, thank God for the gifts and personality He gave them, and to live as dangerous women ā€œwho pose an actual threat to the enemies of God.ā€

And though ā€œAunt Lizzieā€ is always frank, she is never anything but kind.

Loved it.

A+++

I’m in my late 30s. raising littles (so: no teenage daughters here) and I still gleaned so much from this this book. I devoured it in just a few days; I enjoy any content that Rachel produces.

Much needed

I enjoy that Rachel goes over sensitive topics. I like the snippets of each topic and the letter format. This is a much needed book in today's society.

This book is necessary and helpful.

Rachel’s no nonsense and take no prisoners approach is refreshing in this cultural climate. My daughters and I are out in the Aleutian Chain, Alaska, and there aren’t many faithful churches here. They’re planning to give copies of the book to their friends and try to get a discussion going. Please somebody do one for boys!

Mom of 4 Teenage Girls says Thank You!

As a mom of 5 daughters, 4 of them teenagers, I'm always grateful for new perspectives to continue the conversation with my girls. There were some hard, sensitive topics covered in this book, but they were handled appropriately. I've already passed it along to my 17yo, and the others are waiting in line. Looking forward to many discussions!

Daughter wasn’t impressed

I got this for my 17-year-old and she thought the book was just ā€œokay.ā€ She didn’t feel it was geared toward her as a homeschooled teen solid in her faith. She said it would be better for a struggling public schooler.

No Time to be Dumb: Letters to Teenage Girls

Love it. Working through it with my Young Adult leadership team.

On time great book

What our teen girls need

Such a great book for having those deep fruitful conversations with our teen girls.

Increases ploductivityā„¢ by 230%

This hat is great. Buy it for your husband, your son, your father. With this hat and a heart full of God, they will be so ploductive you will have no idea what happened. That deck project you've been putting off? It's getting done. The van's oil change? Doesn't stand a chance. The tiny sourdough bakery/actually good bookstore/theology lecture center/quilting club meetup spot on Main Street that you've been dreaming of ever since you listened to the County over Country conference on Canon+? Who knows!

A Healthy Balance

Rigney sets up a great framework for understanding God's gifts in an honest attempt to love God more.

Leadership and Emotional Sabotage: Resisting the Anxiety That Will Wreck Your Family, Destroy Your Church, and Ruin the World

The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits

Never gets boring to keep reading to my kids.

I love what the book teaches and the illustrations and imagination don't get boring to read to my kids. The book extends beyond the story itself.

Dangerously Funny

We watched the short on our Canon+ app, and the kids are always asking to watch it again. Obviously it was time to add the book to our library! The top favorites are letters A and X.

It was a REALLY good book!

I bought this book because I thought it would be good. It was good. It absolutely clarifies the last 10 years of evangelical confusion. Thanks Mr. Rigney!

Never received the study guide

I didn’t get the study guide, thanks for reminding me.
