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.

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.

What a refreshing read! It was so convicting to read of sins that are common to us all ... that we don't even know we have but groan in recognition when we read of them. And it was so refreshing to read of the ready remedy to our sin! This clever series of fictional letters was simultaneously a page-turner and a slow read -- I kept rereading passages to let the truths soak in. Wonderfully written. Highly recommend!

Maybe Not a Bedtime Story.

I honestly cringe thinking about papercuts. I'm struggling to get through. Must overcome.

I like the book- I spent a little bit of time diving into the book. I love reading RM's comments and intros to each recipe. It helped me plan my first gathering of our community group. I realized I could make a big batch of a stew I make often. I actually was able to sit and figure out the amounts I'd need for that using the comparisons of recipes and explanations. I'm going to officially use one of the recipes at our November gathering. I enjoy the "real life" quality of this book. Kind of like having an experienced friend in your kitchen helping you to feel less intimidated.

Couldn't put it down!

Love, love, love this book. And... I'm a MAN. Very insightful for sure, and the Screwtape Letters style made is so much fun to read. I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a long time. My wife and daughters are reading it now, and I purchased a copy for my pastor and his wife. This book will remain on our shelf as a useful resource as we have opportunity to counsel other women. Well done, Tilly!

Fun for a 70 yr old grandfather. Looking forward to reading with my youngest.

I think my grandson will enjoy this and improve his reading skills.

Wonderful work

This is in constant rotation in our home. Although, it goes by “Pirate’s Doom” per our three-year-old son.

Rally enjoyed it

Great read!

My brother-in-law just bought a Cybertruck

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s written in a gripping and convicting way. You can’t put it down without feeling the pain points of your own sins pressed. It was also very informative of attitudes and emotions that we experience in ourselves and others but it doesn’t hold back calling them what they are. I feel like fairness is such a sticking point right now so articulating how God made the world and our borrowed glories was extremely helpful to me and how I lead my family through blessing and sharing in others joy. Like when your brother-in-law pays cash for a Cubertruck haha!
