The HISTORY LIVES Set

Volume 1: PERIL & PEACE:
Chronicles of the Ancient Church

A new series: History Lives is a fresh, wonderfully readable, overview set of books about early church history, written for adults and children. Volume 1 covers from 3 B.C. to 590 A.D. - the first 600 years of the church. Written with ages 9 to 14 in mind. The authors both serve at Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia PA and have an extensive background in church history.

Volume 2: MONKS & MYSTICS:
Chronicles of the Medieval Church

2nd volume in the History Lives set, a fresh and exciting survey of church history from a pair of authors - husband and wife - who do know how to make history come alive! Covering 550 to 1500 A.D., read of the Crusades, the spread of Islam, the labors of Wycliffe, Huss, the trials of the Medieval Church and then the dawning of the Great Reformation. Written for those about 9 to 14 years of age.

Volume 3: COURAGE & CONVICTION:
Chronicles of the Reformation Church

Covering from 1517 to 1700 A.D., this 3rd volume of the History Lives set tells us the stories of the reformers who changed the face of the Christian church for all time. Meet the German monk, the French scholar, and the Scottish tutor whose protests about corruption in the church were not welcomed by many in leadership but won the hearts of millions of the common people across Europe. Men and women of amazing, God-given strengths and gifts who brought sweeping changes to church, government, school, and most of all the way we worship and how we receive God's Word.

Volume 4: HEARTS AND HANDS:
Chronicles of the Awakening Church
Starting with the stories of the gifted preachers who led the first and second Great Awakenings of the 18th and 19th centuries, this final volume shows how the Christian church began to expand its offers of mercy to the world around us. For the first 1700 years of church history, Christ's people had worked to define Christian teachings and secure their freedom to worship. Now they began to see, in a new way, how the power of the gospel should alter their hearts and actions towards their fellow-man.

Volume 5: RESCUE AND REDEEM:
Chronicles of the Modern Church
As the modern world exploded with rapid changes in transportation, communication, manufacturing, people around the globe face overwhelming new challenges. As Christians arrived for the first time in other countries, they realized that being a Christian was about living out the gospel in every culture. And they realized that great injustice was everywhere! So they met the challenges of modern life with new ways of communicating Christ's ancient gospel. From Niijima Jo and Pandita Ramabai to Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Janani Luwum, they set out to rescue God's global people and redeem them to new life in Christ.

Extra features throughout this book look deeper into issues such as modern Bible translation, living the Golden Rule, new developments in missions, and big moments in modern Christianity.

Read the stories of the Japanese samurai who traded his sword for a Bible and the Hawaiian princess whose faith strengthened her to defend her nation. Learn of the courage of German and Ugandan pastors who stood up to murderous dictators. Get to know the teacher in India who rescued child widows.

This is the 5th and final book in the History Lives series.
