50 People Every Christian Should Know
In an age when Christian "celebrity" is at a height, it is encouraging to look back to those who have lived God-honoring lives without social media. As the editor states, the past is not an "anchor but a rudder to guide us to the future." These brief biographies were originally printed in the Moody Monthly or the Goodnews Broadcaster magazines from 1971-1977. Spanning from the 15th to the 20th century, these articles describe the lives of diverse men and women; missionaries and businessmen; more famous individuals such as Dwight Moody and Amy Carmichael; and the perhaps less famous such as William Borden or Katherine von Bora. These biographies balance personal details with overview in a well-written way, encouraging the reader to follow Christ while this "great cloud of witnesses" watches on. Notes and references for further reading are provided. 398 pp, sc. ~ Ruth
Find strength in their stories.
We all need inspiration to lead lives that honor God. When our faith is weak or the pressures of the world seem overwhelming, remembering the great men and women of the past can inspire us to renewed strength and purpose. Our spiritual struggles are not new, and the stories of those who have gone before can help lead the way to our own victories.
50 People Every Christian Should Know gives a glimpse into the lives of such people as:
* Charles H. Spurgeon
* G. Campbell Morgan
* A. W. Tozer
* Fanny Crosby
* Amy Carmichael
* Jonathan Edwards
* James Hudson Taylor
Combining the stories of fifty of these faithful men and women, beloved author Warren W. Wiersbe offers you insight and encouragement for life's uncertain journey.
This book combines Wiersbe's Living with the Giants and Victorious Christians You Should Know, plus a new preface and two new biographies.
