Overview
Jane Austen, Sergeant York, Saint PatrickāWhat did they have in common?
Two thousand years and still going strong: thatās 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 whoāthough beloved to us nowāwere simply living ordinary lives of devotion.
āIt would be almost impossible to imagine ten people more different from each other than these,ā editor John Perry says. āThis [is] the first truth of Christian living: anybody, anywhere can be a champion of the faith, an example and inspiration to all who follow.ā
Thereās 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. Youāll 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 donāt. Not yet.
