14 Faithful Followers: Stories of Christians from the First to the Twentieth Centuries

What kind of Christians were those in years gone by? Read these biographical sketches written in an easy-to-read style, about the Christian life and everyday life of some people who lived between the 1st and 20th centuries. Some older folk may even find familiar names.

Learn from Origen, a teacher in AD 200. Menno Simons was a strong leader of the Anabaptists. Jacob T. Wiebe, farmer immigrant, was a leader in Canada. Listen to John A. Koehn's experiences as a USA revival minister, never before recorded. In Africa, Papa Johnson could not read but he "gathered the sheep in to the shepherd." At home all were common, godly folk.

Every Christian, each in their own way, must give their all. One gives away riches, another spends years in prison and may suffer death, another leaves friends and family to tell others the good news. Gladly our forbears did this, for their goal was heaven. Let them spur you on to follow your Lord, no matter what.
