Ten Boys Who Made a Difference (Light Keepers)

Information on Ten Boys Who Made a Difference from the publisher:

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.

Description of Irene Howat, author of Ten Boys Who Made a Difference:

Read true-to-life stories of Augustine, Hugh Latimer, William Tyndale, John Calvin and other men whose lives made an impact, because of their faithfulness to God. Each story is about ten pages, making this ideal for family read-alouds; short quiz questions are included at the end of the book. Young people 8-11 will be inspired by accounts of God's direction and purpose in the lives of "ordinary" boys and men.
