32 Christians Who Changed Their World

32 Christians Who Changed Their World

Our faith continues to move forward despite the challenges each generation faces and despite the challenges in each and every society around the world.
“32” is a marvelous illustration of our faith being the impetus of courageous responses for so many throughout all generations. This eye-opener is a perfect gift to share. Get 2 of them and send one to a friend! You’ll both be glad and blessed!

Dr. Sunshine presents for us here some heroes of Christianity who will not have made it onto most of our radars. These stories will broaden your view of historic Christianity and challenge the believer to take seriously how he lives his faith.

This is a good collection of short biographies of servants of God who, despite hardships, remained faithful to God. May we be encouraged in our own hardships today.

I enjoy the author, Glenn sunshine, but this book was not as “exciting“ as I thought it would be. Good information about historical figures. But not something that I believe would really catch the attention of younger kids and teenagers. Not like a foxes book of martyrs, Its jist not an attention grabber. Having said that, It’s good to read about people I’ve never heard of, and yet seeing how their testimonies and actions, though imperfect, affected the course of history..

The book is broken into eras from Late Antiquity to late Twentieth Century and the Christians listed in those eras fall chronologically as to birth. I'm an old Christian in both age and time of service so very little surprises me. Not the case with "32 Christians Who Changed Their World" which delighted, convicted, embarrassed and made me wonder at every profile. Of those listed I already had a fair assessments of seven of them but the remaining twenty-five became delightful new acquaintances.

Be shocked, surprised and amazed; get the book.

The book will be a tool for me and passed down after I am gone. I was influenced and motivated and it stirred in me confidence I had at first (Hebrews 3:14).

Christians come from everywhere and from every occupation. As they commit to the Lords commands they influence others in many ways. They assemble together once a week on Sunday’s but throughout the week they are taking care of responsibilities and they are doing it for the Lord (Acts 20:7, Colossians 3:23). The gospel is being re-enacted daily in the minds of Christians everywhere. Their daily worship is offering themselves as living sacrifices and serving others (Romans 12:1, James 1:27). They are everywhere all across the world and going all the way back to when Peter gave the first gospel sermon on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). In Glenn S. Sunshine’s book, he says “there are pastors, evangelists, sculptors, parents, entrepreneurs, activists, warriors, strategists, inventors, servants, rulers, innovators, educators, children, authors, painters, athletes, presidents, beggars, healers, storytellers, academics, practitioners, politicians, administrators, builders, peasants, accountants, and those from any other category of human activity that one could imagine.”

Christians are everywhere daily loving in deed and in truth and shaping their world daily (1 John 3:18). Minds are not just changed by pastors but by all Christians. We are the light to the world and we are the example of righteousness (Isaiah 58:8). We can take a book like this and be inspired by other Christians in the past who lived out their faith and see how they changed their world so we can be the light for others (Hebrews 13:7). Glenn writes, “For those in positions of influence in cultural or political situations opposed to the Gospel, Hunayn provides a model of how to live: Do your work to the best of your ability, live with integrity, and whatever ups and downs might follow, never compromise your obedience and faithfulness to God.”
