I have loved missionary
biographies for years because they bring to life Bible passages as people live
lives that proclaim God’s faithfulness and power. Having a Kindle means that I can pick up
books very cheaply when there is a sale on them and when Ten Who Changed the
World was on sale I picked it up.
The book profiles ten
missionaries or missionary couples, from throughout the centuries, who served
God all over the world. You may have
heard of some of the names or read about them before.
The book does give brief
biographies of the different people and details how they embodied different
Bible passages in their lives. So not
only was it good to be reminded of Biblical truths, it was also great to see
how they were lived out.
Some of the stories were
incredible – how people faithfully served and laboured in the country they were
called to for years before seeing any results, people who served despite severe
persecution or spiritual adversity, people who again and again saw God’s
faithfulness and provision.
This book serves as a great
introduction to amazing testimonies of God’s grace and how He works through ordinary, sinful people.
