Christian Focus

… the lives, thinking and impact of ten of the most important ‘dead guys’ have been brought to life. Famous names become interesting characters and big ideas are explained simply and clearly in a way that shows why they are still important today.

Clare Heath–Whyte, Speaker and author of several books, including ‘Everyone a Child Should Know’ and ‘First Wives’ Club’

This insightful collection of ten Christian leaders from different times and places reveal that knowing the past can be both liberating and illuminating.  Maddock, Coulton, and Ciano ably demonstrate how earlier theologians, pastors, martyrs, and missionaries sought to live out the gospel and challenge contemporary readers to be faithful disciples of Jesus as well.  This welcome introduction is well–researched, reflective, warm–hearted, and witty.
