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.

This book was tremendously insightful! I bought a copy to pass along, because it was such a blessing to me!

These books I bought are my three year olds favorite books now.

Great book and illustrations

Great art and a great story on our aging courage and getting along with your siblings, would highly recommend!

An excellent collection of songs worth singing

What a delight to see all of this great musical treasure I’ve been ignorant of for most of my life! I’ve only just started going through the music, but it has been encouraging and fun to see how saints from the past (and present) have been flexing their creative muscle to help us find the right tunes and lyrics to praise our great God. And a Psalter! What better way to “store up Thy word in my heart”?

What a fun adventure!!!

I bought this book for my youngest son and daughter! They loved it! My son enjoys reading it to himself (he just learned to read)! It is very well written and inspiring!

Required Reading

Read it. You are required to. Don’t believe me? Read it and find out.

Great intro into the subject.

Well who the heck is Gashmu?! His option doesn’t matter, this book clarifies that and serves to whet the appetite of those interested in building New Christendom. Easy quick read. Do it.

Nothing Short of a Masterpiece

This book is an absolute gem. We've only had it in our home for about a week, but it has instantly become our favorite go-to storybook we read night after night. It's a mark of its quality that neither my children (nor I!) have gotten even the slightest bit sick of it after 20+ reads. My children are ages 4-8, boys and girls, and they all love it.

The art is simply stunning, with so many little details to look at on every page. Every single picture is like its own art piece I would want to hang on my wall, and each is so captivating and tells an entire story in and of itself.

The writing doesn't slouch, either. Every phrase and rhyme is carefully crafted and is a delight to read aloud, while moving the story forward at just the right pace. The story is neither too long nor too short. You might say it is the perfect pace and the perfect length. It's satisfying, but it doesn't overstay its welcome. I particularly love one spread of pages in which Forrest (the author and illustrator) uses the lightning sound effects on the page as part of the rhyme scheme with the narration. It's just simply *chef's kiss*

This book is an absolute classic that I plan on passing down to my grandchildren and hopefully their grandchildren. As Forrest Dickison's first complete work of his own (as both author and illustrator) I would say he simply smashed it right out of the park, and I can't wait to see what's next. Don't hesitate. BUY THIS BOOK!

Delightful Story, Words and Pictures

My entire family loved this book. The art is fantastic, the language is rich, and the story (and "moral") are just fantastic. We especially loved the expressions on the Cranky Danky Dragon throughout. It's such a satisfying (and edifying) read!

Hello Ninja (w/ slight imperfections)

Awesome book

Gave this to my son for his fifth birthday. Great story! Lots of teachable lessons in this one. Forrest’s artwork in here is top notch as well.

Fantastic

To the Church in Rome: A Commentary on Paul's Greatest Epistle

Very well written!

This book fits its purpose well! It should be one of many that a curious Christian reads while investigating the Biblical merits of infant baptism and presents arguments often overlooked or forgotten in more comprehensive takes. Extremely grateful for Pastor Wilson’s insights from Scripture!

Great informative book

I bought this book for my sister, and she enjoyed it and learned a lot from it. She would recommend it for all young Reformed Christian Women. Feminists could learn a lot.

Storybook Latin 1: Fables

Cantus Christi Piano Edition

Every piano and every pianist needs one.

Super helpful!

Have been considering switching over. It’s super helpful to see the lesson plans and year layout- have a better picture before purchasing

Very beneficial!

This book has been very helpful to me as a young, growing Christian. It presents key biblical insights on marriage that the Church has seemed to have lost sight of. This book along with others from the family series has given me a target to shoot for. By God’s grace I will walk in this wisdom.

Great story with multiple layers of depth. Beautiful illustrations.

Putting legs to the principles of Wisdom

My wife and I read this book together and found it very helpful in making proverbs applicable to everyday life. We both especially loved the last two chapters about the “the woman who fears the Lord” and “the fear of the Lord.” Overall excellent work and I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in pursuing Christ and His wisdom.

Covers the essentials well

Although short it covers the essentials well and would be especially good for those not well versed in covenant theology.

I am still working on it. Busy summer. It has been so helpful to me. I have a Catholic brother and we are always getting into discussions. Some parts are a little too deep for me but it is still a great resource. Thank you!

The best book for my boys, giving them an examples on how to control their emotions. Love it
