Ten Boys Who Made a Difference
Augustine * John Knox * Martin Luther * John Calvin * Hugh Latimer * Jan Hus * Ulrich Zwingli * William Tyndale * Thomas Chalmers * Lord Shaftesbury

Would you like to make a difference? These ten boys grew up to do just that--but first they had to change the church. How did God change them?

Augustine discovered the love of God and changed the way we think; Knox focused on God's word and told his country the truth; Luther rediscovered God's truth and gave it to ordinary people; Calvin realised that salvation was a gift from God and not a reward for what he did; Tyndale longed to print the Bible in a language that everyone would understand; Latimer urged people to read the Bible for themselves and made enemies as a result; Hus taught that God is in charge of the church and the world; Zwingli challenged people to obey God's word in every area of their lives; Chalmers called the church to show Christ's compassion to the poor and Shaftesbury pushed the church into making Christ's love a living reality for everyone.

Ten Boys Who Didn't Give In
Inspiring Stories of Martyrs
Polycarp * Alban * Sir John Oldcastle * Thomas Cranmer * George Wishart * James Chalmers * Dietrich Bonhoeffer * Nate Saint * Ivan Moiseyev * Graham Staines

These ten boys grew up to become men who didn't give in. Living as a Christian for them was difficult but they chose to do the right thing instead of the easy thing. Would you give in or would you resist?

Polycarp was freed from slavery but then gave up his freedom for Christ; Alban was in danger from Roman soldiers but still would not bow down to their gods; John Oldcastle's home was a hiding place, but he would not hide his faith; Cranmer was afraid of death but ended up showing courage; George Wishart was thrown in prison but kept on preaching about Jesus; James Chalmers brought the Bible to cannibals whatever the dangers; Dietrich Bonhoffer lived when people were frightened of speaking out but he would not be silent; Nate Saint flew into danger but knew it was worth it; Ivan Moiseyev obeyed his commanders but still put God first; Graham Staines lived to help leprosy patients, but died because he loved Jesus. In a world where we give in too easily--be inspired by those who didn't!

Ten Boys Who Changed the World
Billy Graham * Brother Andrew * John Newton * George Muller * Nicky Cruz * William Carey * David Livingstone * Adoniram Judson * Eric Liddell * Luis Palau

George Muller was a thief when he was younger and spent time in jail for his crimes. Brother Andrew grew up in Holland during the second World War and played tricks on German soldiers. Nicky Cruz grew up in a family where spirit worship was a regular occurrence. He became a very angry young man, out to cause trouble. John Newton was captured at a young age and forced to join Her Majesty's Navy, leaving his friends and family behind.

What happened to these young boys and how did God make them into men who changed their world? Read how George Muller was finally trusted with millions of pounds. Discover how Brother Andrew grew up to be a smuggler of Bibles. Read how Nicky Cruz was rescued from self-destruction and eventually went on to begin one of the largest youth organisations reaching out to hurt and confused young people throughout the world.

Ten Boys Who Used Their Talents
What Can You Do for God?
Paul Brand * Ghillean Prance * C.S. Lewis * C.T. Studd * Wilfred Grenfell * J.S. Bach * James Clerk Maxwell * Samuel Morse * George Washington Carver * John Bunyan

These ten boys grew up to become successful men. The two things they have in common is that they all put to good use the talents and gifts they had, and they all believed that God had given them to be used.

Paul Brand took medicine into new lands to bring hope to the sick. Ghillean Prance's love of the world around him led to Kew Gardens, still a centre of excellence in studying God’s creation. C S Lewis opened the door into Narnia and opened the hearts of many to new faith. C T Studd excelled on the cricket and the mission field. Wilfred Grenfell was an energetic explorer of the Arctic. J S Bach's music still inspires millions, as Christ inspired him. James Clerk Maxwell’s faith in God’s ordering of the universe led to key discoveries in science. Samuel Morse patented many inventions one of which has saved many lives. George Washington governed a country as he followed the Lord. John Bunyan was imprisoned to shut him up yet wrote a classic that still speaks today.

Ten Boys Who Made History
Robert Murray McCheyne * Martyn Lloyd-Jones * George Whitefield * Charles Spurgeon * Jonathan Edwards * Samuel Rutherford * D.L. Moody * Billy Sunday * A.W. Tozer * John Owen

These Christian stalwarts were once young boys playing games, learning from mistakes and growing up in quite a different world. But was it that different? Irene Howat has researched the lives of these men of God and draws out lessons we can all relate to, especially youngsters today.

Find out how Samuel showed people that love works better than fear; John made friends with powerful rulers and humble craftsmen; Jonathan helped the Iroquois Indians and then was asked to teach at Princeton; George preached salvation to thousands and saved the lives of children; Robert lost his brother but found Jesus; Dwight sold shoes in a shop and then taught children in a caravan; Billy played professional baseball and then preached the gospel; Charles became a Christian in a snowstorm and then told the world about Jesus; Aiden rescued orphan lambs and then he was saved by Jesus; Martyn became a doctor but found a better medicine for souls.
