For two thousand years, billions of people have followed Jesus Christ. But what does it mean to live a life of faith that makes a lasting impact?

In ‘Heroes of the Faith’, J.John introduces us to 50 extraordinary men and women whose courage, conviction and devotion to God shaped history. From reformers and preachers to scientists, artists, writers and abolitionists, each story reveals the transforming power of faith in action.

Meet household names like William Wilberforce, who fought to end the slave trade; C.S. Lewis, whose writings continue to inspire millions; Harriet Tubman, the courageous liberator; and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who stood firm in the face of tyranny. Discover also the remarkable lives of those less well known but equally inspiring – such as Shi Meiyu, the pioneering Chinese doctor and evangelist; Mary Jones, whose passion for Scripture helped establish the Bible Society; and Apolo Kivebulaya, who spread the gospel in Africa.

Together, these stories span continents and centuries – from Augustine of Hippo to Rosa Parks, from Francis of Assisi to Elisabeth Elliot – offering a vivid portrait of the global and enduring influence of Christian faith.

With stunning imagery and captivating storytelling, this beautifully presented coffee-table book is designed to inspire, challenge and encourage. Whether dipped into for a single life story or read from beginning to end, it is a powerful reminder that ordinary people, when devoted to an extraordinary God, can change the world.

 Perfect as a gift, a resource for personal encouragement or a tool for church and small-group discussion, ‘Heroes of the Faith’ invites you to join the great cloud of witnesses who have gone before – and to reflect on how you, too, might live heroically for Christ.
