Praise God that his servants at the Banner of Truth Trust have chosen to reprint this great book containing true stories of Christians from the past. These are great to read aloud to your older children. The stories of George Mueller and Billy Bray are especially well-rendered. The theme here is conversion, and this book will be a great tool for any Church workers who will use it to make soul-winning lessons for young folks.

Highly Recommended!

Five short Christian biographies providing interesting and profitable reading: George Muller, a man of faith and prayer who established orphanages in Bristol, England in the 19th century; Isobel Kuhn, a gifted Canadian who gave her life as a missionary to the Lisu people of China and Thailand, and died of cancer in 1957; Billy Bray, a unique 19th century Cornish evangelist who lived by faith and gave a cheerful and practical witness for the Gospel; David Brainerd, 18th century missionary to the North American Indians who endured great hardship and died at the age of 29; and Robert Annan of Dundee, Scotland, who came to love Christ and needy souls above all else and was an evangelist among the poor in 19th century Scotland. Reading the accounts of these five lives is an encouragement to learn more of these well-known and lesser-known servants of God.

These books by John Tallach, God Made Them Great and They Shall Be Mine, are very excellent. I've greatly profited by reading it myself, and reading it to my children.
