Ratchet up your faith with these riveting accounts of four mighty Christian men. Martin Luther posted his ninety-five theses on a cathedral door and sparked the fire of the German Reformation. Overcoming cannibals, lions, and charging rhinos, David Livingstone relentlessly drove the light of faith through Africa's jungles. Former shoe salesman Dwight L. Moody spread the gospel fire in the U.S. and abroad, becoming the greatest evangelist of the nineteenth century. Narnia creator C. S. Lewis transformed minds-young and old alike-through books that are still bestsellers today. These men changed the world...their stories will challenge you!
This book tells the life stories, in abridged forms, of Martin Luther, David Livingstone, Dwight Moody and CS Lewis. The authors do an excellent job of detailing the personal lives of these four men; highlighting the external and internal forces and motivations that drove them to do what they did for Christ.
What is striking about all four of these men is the single-mindedness, focus and "crazy" enthusiasm of their conviction. All of them, at some point, defied the critics and boldy rejected a life of safety and comfort. This punctuated with an uncommon work ethic changed the world over the last 3 centuries.
This was not the first biography I read of these four individuals. This book made these men real people, with a focus on their human side. This human dimension underlines the fact that God use ordinary people to do extraordinary things - if they are willing and in a living relationship with God. Be blessed when reading this inspirational book.
