Worldchangers

by Shandi Stevenson

Who was exiled and then killed just for giving his people the Bible in their own language? What woman defied the KKK to bring hope to the children of former slaves? Who brought religious freedom to North America? Whose courageous leadership helped launch the black church? If you were rescued from decades of opium addiction, would you be willing to help thousands of other addicts to freedom? Who became the voice for the outcast of India? What is God calling you to do to change the world?

In Worldchangers , challenge your faith as you meet men and women from around the world who turned some of the darkest moments of history into transforming opportunities. Experience the true stories of Christians who lived the adventure of saying yes to a faithful God and be transported to unforgettable moments when ordinary people trusted God for things that seemed impossible and, as a result, changed the world for the better.

In these true stories, you will experience triumph against all odds—wars, famines, epidemics, and oppression—and find hope in the midst of heartbreak. Worldchangers will give you new courage in trusting the God Who makes a way where there is no way and will hopefully encourage you to make some changes for the good in the world in which we live.

[Nicole O'Meara · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading ten biographies in one book. Many of the people highlighted were familiar to me, but some were not—people like Xi Shengmo, Pandita Ramabai, and Mary MacLeod Bethune.

Each chapter highlights one worldchanger beginning with a story and moving on to more biographical summaries. These are well-researched biographies carefully handled by the author. These people shaped history and I appreciated reading about them from a Christian worldview.

Had this book been available when I was homeschooling my children, I would have assigned it to my 7th-12th graders.

This books is very wonderfully written and easy for young students to follow. The author does a great job of bringing the reader into the life and time period of important figures in the history of the church. This book would work well as a textbook for a homeschool or classroom setting where church history is being studied. I would highly recommend!

These biographies are fascinating and extremely well written. I enjoyed reading this book. The author packs so much information into such a concise account, so that it is easy to read but not dry in any way. It is impossible not to be inspired and challenged by the lives of these people.
