Story
Bruce Shelley's classic history of the church brings the story of global Christianity into the 21st century. Like a skilled screenwriter, Shelley begins each chapter with three elements: characters, setting, plot. Taking you from the early centuries of the church up through the modern era he tells a story of actual people, in a particular situation, taking action or being acted upon, provides a window into the circumstances and historical context, and from there develops the story of a major period or theme of Christian history.

History tells of women whose love for the Bible shaped its earliest and most prominent teachers. It tells of women who were great theologians in their own right, yet whose only students were their own children. It tells, time and time again, of Christian men who owe so much to their godly mothers. Raising children to honor and glorify the Lord is the goal of every Christian mother, but how can you do that? Who can teach you? One of the best ways to learn is to read or listen to examples of women who have succeeded at the very task you are attempting. Come and listen to some of them.

In an increasingly secular society, those who have a biblical worldview are now a shrinking minority. As mainstream culture grows more hostile toward the Bible’s truths and those who embrace them, you’ll face mounting pressures — from family, friends, media, academia, and government — to change and even abandon your beliefs. But these challenges also create abundant opportunities to stand strong for Christ and shine light to those hurt by the darkness of our day.

How do Christians grow? Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive. In this audiobook, Dane Ortlund points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to him.

At the hidden center of man's being is the dwelling place of the triune God. It is such a private, intimate place that no one can intrude but Christ, and even he will enter only through an invitation of faith. Once the Spirit enters the core of the believer's heart and establishes residence there, man becomes a true child of God. But baptism, confirmation, receiving the sacraments, church membership, etc., mean nothing unless God has truly inhabited the soul.

One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In the first major biography of Bonhoeffer in 40 years, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life - the theologian and the spy - to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

An interesting text.
While the book does in fact have useful information the obvious antiCatholic bias is distracting and unnecessary. The polemic employed makes the author seem more angry than faithful and the clear assumption of inability to gain salvation within the Catholic Church makes him seem Arrogant and somewhat uneducated.

Inspiration- life lived in complete faith
After listening to this book, I feel your heart will be greatly stirred by the lives of those who have lived by faith. Men and women who have walked in love throughout life similar to our own. I strongly encourage you to listen to this book, as I feel your heart may be stirred to study further into the lives of whom were written. Above all I believe you may be stirred to dig deeper into the great God almighty who was the guiding light, during times of darkness.

I Wanted To Like This Book
If you like to hear endless lists of dates followed by recommendations of other books about the person in question, you'll love this book. But I found it so boring. In an effort to find some reason to keep listening to this book I tried skipping over people I had never heard of and who had been dead for 200 years. I figured in a group of 50 people, someone must have an interesting story told in an interesting way. It didn't help. Even when the subject was someone I had heard of, the story telling was uninspired. I couldn't keep my mind from wandering. I have now given up.

Misses the mark if you are looking to be inspired
I saw this title as I was searching for my next book, and seeing the rating was still so incomprehensibly high, I decided to review it. If you want to encounter the biographies of the authors favorite sermon writers from the 1600s and on, this book is for you. I read up to Fanny Crosby. I'm going from memory from about a year back, but I think she might have been the first person on the list who wasn't a minister and one of the few who wasn't British. If I could have borne hearing another word from this author, it appears he began to branch out, but at that point [that is, after getting through Wiersbe's opinion on 200 years of who's who in British clergy], I figured 'Why torture myself, when audible lets me return books I don't like?" So I did. Preachers writing sermons or concordances or study guides certainly reflects a dedication, but it's not a practical encouragement of faith for the average person. I want to know about Christians who faced temptations and or trials and with the help of God, prevailed. And I want for that story to be more about God than it is about the person through whom God is telling his stories. Those are the people whose stories I want to hear about.

Great idea for a book!
In my experience, as a follower of Jesus Christ , it’s good practice to study the lives of notable Christians of times past and learn from them. This book had many Christians that I’ve heard about but also had plenty of ones I’ve never heard of before. Great book and the narrator had a wholesome and comfortable voice too.
