Great historical reading..I like it because I can pick it up and read a few days of history, without having to follow a theme.

I have greatly enjoyed this book in my own daily devotions time and have given it as a gift to my friends and family who are also into history and enjoy connecting with the past. God truly is at work across the days and across the ages.

Each day's reading is thorough and thought provoking. The writing can a mouthful and choppy, though. We had hoped to use this for after dinner devotions, but it is better read by ones self.

My husband and I have been using this book as a devotional for a few years now. We have given it to loved ones for Christmas gifts.
It is challenging, encouraging and inspiring to read short accounts of heroes of the faith and to recognize how God has worked in their lives. It gives us hope that He is still on the throne and rules and reigns in the lives of ordinary people like you and me in the here and now. This book glorifies God and is very uplifting to read.

I am so thrilled I bought this book. It gives a glimpse into the lives of those who made the way for us to have freedom to worship. I really like learning about all these folks. Thanks for offering this book. I bought some for gifts too.

I was able to use a selection about Cameron Townsend from this book for a devotional at a woman's meeting..very well written. I then introduced more about Cameron Townsend to the group.

I have been thoroughly enjoying this book for its historical information, inspiration, and challenges. Another upside of reading this book is that I get to find many stories I can use to illustrate my sermons. Thank you for making this book available.

Very educational, learning about God's working throughout church history. I received a copy last Christmas and was so delighted that I bought a copy for a son-in-law who loves history, and he is also delighted.

We have bought any number of these books to give as gifts for after getting our first book we realized what a gem this book is. It is filled with Christian history dating way back up to the present day. It is educational and an easy read for the busy person. We highly recommend it.

The book is great. I read it each night and read the stories of the lives of others who have trusted in God. It also reminds me of how blessed I am. Get the book! You will be blessed also.

If you are Presbyterian I think you would like this devotional...being from another denomination makes this book less Christian history and more just biographies of "great" men of the Presbyterian and maybe a couple other denominations.

I read about the "One Year Book of Christian History" in a church newsletter. The person simply commented in passing "I found a great book" and mentioned its name. Indeed this is a wonderful resource that covers key influential leaders in the Christian faith through the centuries. The readings are brief and powerful. I am a pastor and I have used this book as my primary reference to teach a Sunday night series on "the heroes of our faith." I highly recommend purchasing this book.

I am thoroughly enjoying this book. For each short devotional it either goes way back in Christian history to facts that are unknown or forgotten and then brings it very much up to date. I have given it as a gift and would highly recommend to anyone. Daphne Shaub,NJ

This book is so good that I am buying my brother-in-law one for Christmas. It makes me aware of just how many saints have gone before us. It makes me humble to realize that without them, I would not have the heritage that I have.

A timeless devotional that is a challenge to all of us in our Christain walk to live for the Lord and to be willing to die for our faith in Him, if called to do so.
