To be honest, I don't know as much as I would like. This book aims to resolve this lack of knowledge in at least some small way by providing a short biography of 46 Christians. These men and women are chosen from throughout Christian history, divided into six general periods of time. Mr. Hannula starts with Polycarp in the Early Church , who died in the Roman arena for his Christian faith. The selection in the Middle Ages includes such famous people as Pope Gregory I, Boniface, Charlemagne, and Alfred the Great.John Wyclif, who died for translating the Scriptures into English, is included as well. There are a number of people here I'd never heard of; people like John Huss, who laid the foundations of the Reformation. The section on the Reformation includes famous men like Martin Luther, William Tyndale, and John Calvin, as well as not so famous men, such Jeanne d'Albert. The Post Reformation era includes Gustavus Adolphus, Jonathan Edwards, and two women named Margaret who died for their refusal to stand against their Protestant beliefs. In Modern Missions, the author includes David Livingstone, John Paton, and Hudson Taylor --I didn't know of any of these men before reading this book. The book ends with 6 more recent examples, including the Chinese Christians and C.S. Lewis. The author uses each story to teach small snippets of theology, and to show how Christian faith overcomes in all circumstances, good or bad. Overall, I found this book to be well written, the stories well selected, and the layout to be easy to follow and read. The book downplays some of the negatives of each of these people, but this fits within the format; the introduction should serve as just that, an introduction. With this book as background, you could do an in depth study of each of these over time, and gain a real appreciation of Church history. Review: Great read! - Great stories. Were a wonderful addition to our homeschool mornings. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #71,422 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Teen & Young Adult Religious Biographies #23 in Teen & Young Adult Historical Biographies #184 in Teen & Young Adult Christianity | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (530) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.69 x 9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | Grade level | 4 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 1885767544 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1885767547 | | Item Weight | 1.1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | July 15, 1999 | | Publisher | Canon Press | | Reading age | 7 - 12 years | ## Images ![Trial and Triumph: Stories from Church History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7193gwQLg4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Required Reading for Christians *by R***E on October 16, 2010* How much do you know about the history of the Church?
