The Church History ABCs: Augustine and 25 Other Heroes of the Faith (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781433514722)

Dramatically converted on the stormy seas, a slave-trader-turned-abolitionist penned the best-loved hymn of the Christian faith. A church father was arrested and martyred for teaching the truth about Christ's incarnation. Captured by pirates and shipped off to Ireland, a priest baptized thousands of pagans, from paupers to princes. Now who ever said church history was boring?

The Church History ABCs is a fun way for kids to learn about great figures in Christian history. Twenty-six heroes of the faith march through the alphabet, boldly telling their stories in language children can understand. This wide range of characters--men and women from across the centuries, from all over the globe--reflects the breadth of church history and reminds children that these great figures of the past were living, breathing people who lived and died for the glory of God.
