Jane Austen, Sergeant York, Saint Patrick--What did they have in
common?
Two thousand years and still going strong: that's the story of
Christianity. And while the Christian martyrs and saints and
orators may have gotten more press, the fact is the faith has been
carried through history in the hearts and deeds of believers
who--though beloved to us now--were simply living ordinary lives of
devotion.
"It would be almost impossible to imagine ten people more
different from each other than these," editor John Perry says.
"This is] the first truth of Christian living: anybody, anywhere
can be a champion of the faith, an example and inspiration to all
who follow."
There's no dry biography here, though. Each story teems with
fresh insight. D. L. Moody did some of his most powerful
evangelizing by befriending ragged street children in Chicago.
William F. Buckley never delivered a sermon, yet a Christian
worldview informed his erudite, witty, output in print and
broadcasting. To compose her poems, Anne Bradstreet had to
understand science, history, the Bible, and literature, not to
mention the political scene in both Massachusetts and England.
You'll look with new eyes, also, on the lives of George Washington
Carver, Jane Austen, Galileo, Johann Sebastian Bach, Sergeant York,
John Bunyan, and Saint Patrick. You might think you know their
stories . . . but you don't. Not yet.For lovers of biography, for
homeschool or study groups, for anyone seeking encouragement in the
Christian walk, "10 Christians Everyone Should Know" is a valuable
resource.
