50 World-Changing Events in Christian History
ISBN: 9781781917497Book Description:
The increase in terrorism, the push for gender fluidity, the eradicating of Christianity from schools...
During these worrying times, Earl Blackburn shows that learning about our history can be one of the best tools for encouraging us in our faith. Hearing stories of the perseverance of Christian heroes such as John Wycliffe, Martin Luther, and William Wilberforce is inspirational for everyday struggles; while seeing how God has grown His church through times of hardship and persecution helps us to have courage about the church of today.
