This book is an inspirational overview of the lives of historical heroes and heroines of the faith.
They Gave Their All to Attain God’s Best
In the early years of our nation he crossed the Allegheny mountains sixty times, pressing relentlessly forward on horseback, swimming rivers, enduring all kinds of hardship and preaching wherever and as often as possible in order to win souls to Christ. The 18th-century circuit rider Francis Asbury is one of the remarkable people you’ll meet in this book—men and women whose lives were utterly devoted to God. Here in brisk, vivid words are the stories of these heroes of the Christian faith: the love for Christ that drove them, the obstacles they encountered, and the amazing ways in which, through prayer, preaching, and unflinching commitment, the kingdom of God advanced through their hands.
You’ll read about Duncan Campbell, Scottish bagpiper who got ‘foxhole religion’ during World War I and became a preacher and evangelist. Oswald Chambers, man of prayer who led important missions efforts in Japan and Egypt. Madame Guyon, French widow who amid imprisonment and various other tribulations became renowned for her spirituality and writings. Dwight Moody, American evangelist who preached to more people during his lifetime than anyone in history before him. Amanda Smith, freed slave who taught herself to read and became a missionary to India and Africa. The fourteen lives in this book will inspire you with their devotion and encourage you that God will use you, too, in wonderful ways when you pursue Him with your whole heart and soul.
This book is an inspirational overview of the biographies of 14 fully devoted followers of Christ, those we know as historical heroes and heroines of the Christian faith.
This book will inspire you with the examples of these 14 Heroes of the Holy Life and encourage you that God will use you, too, in wonderful ways when you pursue Him with your whole heart and soul.
