History isn't just dates, statistics and grand social movements. It's people. Fascinating people.

If you think history is boring, take about three minutes to scan through 131 Christians Everyone Should Know. Zero in on an article and you may find that you cannot read just one.

These sketches have been put together by the editors of Christian History Magazine who have an impressive track record for making history come alive every month for their readers.

And note the diversity: Menno Simons, a pacifist, and the Roman emperor Constantine, a general. Leaders of the Reformation-Luther, Calvin, Zwingli-and the Counter-Reformation-Ignatius Loyola, Teresa of Avila, teenagers-Joan of Arc, and aged saints-Polycarp.

And people from so many callings:

Theologians-Athanasius and Jonathan Edwards

Evangelists and Apologists-Justin Martyr and Billy Graham

Pastors and Preachers-John Chrysostom and Richard Baxter

Musicians-Johann Sebastian Bach and George Fredric Handel

Artist and Writers-Rembrandt and C.S. Lewis

Poets-Dante and Fanny Crosby

Denominational Founders-Richard Allen and Aimee Semple McPherson

Movers and Shakers-Dominic and John Wycliffe

Missionaries-Patrick and David Livingstone

Inner Travelers-Brother Lawrence and Oswald Chambers

Activists-Sojourner Truth and Lord Shaftesbury

Rulers-Charlemagne and Henry VIII

Scholars and Scientists-Eusebius of Caesarea and Nicolas Copernicus

Martyrs-Perpetua and Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Each personality sketch includes a time line that gives the historical context in which that person lived. This book contains a topical index that will help you find illustrations for teaching and preaching.
