A simple introduction to Christian history, for those who are interested in refreshing their knowledge or reading about Christians they are broadly aware of, but may not be overly familiar with. Thirty three key Christians are featured, each with a timeline of their life, their background, and their place in Christian history.
God does amazing things through the lives of people who are dedicated to Him. Sketches of Faith tells the true stories of Christians whose lives have been used by God to ignite change and hope throughout the world. Some may be familiar; others less so. Yet each are a testament to the reign and power of Christ’s kingdom.
Like all of us, these Christians are not perfect, but they have one thing in common: Jesus powerfully transformed them and used them to play a significant part in His Church.
