This box set contains the charmingly illustrated stories of five heroes of the Christian faith – C. S. Lewis, Gladys Aylward, Lottie Moon, John Knox and Charles Spurgeon. These hardback books will delight 4–7 year–old children.
1. Charles Spurgeon preached from the Bible in a way that ordinary people could understand. He even acted out Bible passages and would pace back and fore dramatically! He was a great preacher, but he knew that it was God who was behind this. It was God who made Spurgeon great.
2. John Knox was a bright young lad who grew up to be a strong fighter for freedom and liberty. He had a gentle but fiercely loyal heart and became a stalwart defender of the reformed faith. He thundered the truth that neither good works, popes or priests can save you from sin - but Christ alone. This fiery Scot refused to give in to religion or royalty - it was the Bible, the Word of God that was his standard.
3. Lottie Moon had little to occupy her mind beyond school lessons, dresses and pranks (oh, and skipping church whenever she could). However, one day things change for Lottie. Find out how the naughty little rich girl gives her life to mission work in China. Today she is one of the best remembered missionaries in America with millions of dollars having been raised by her memorial Christmas offering.
4. Story of how Gladys Aylward was called by God to go to China as a missionary. As a girl she had always wanted to be taller and to have blonde hair. On arriving in China she realises that the people there all have dark hair and are generally not so tall. Her missionary work is simply described and her escape from the Japanese army, leading many orphan children over the mountains to safety. Told simply for younger children.
