This review is from: The Complete Book of Christian Heroes (Paperback)

This wonderfully fascinating book contains over 200 stories of people who lived for Jesus, suffered for Jesus, and in some cases even died for Jesus. Christian heroes from many different times and places and sects are covered here, everyone from Stephen (the first recorded martyr for the Faith), through Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa, including such lesser known lights as the 26 martyrs of 16th century Japan, the Moravian Indians of Ohio, and Johann and Susanna Kroeker.

Overall, I found this to be a fascinating and informative book, and a very uplifting one as well. If you want to read about Heroes of the Church - believers from all times and places, then this is the book for you. I give it my highest recommendations!

I bought this book for my five year old and it is too much for him, but I have read many of the stories. I am learning so much about Christian history and the stories are well-told, seem accurate and are very convicting. A great choice for an adult or an older child!

Love these books about Christian Heroes from these authors. They are informative and gets your attention. I teach 4th grade and my class loves these (Christian private school for those of you wondering how I could get away with reading Christian literature in a school).
