These two books are part of a series, ‘Heroes of the Faith’, covering the history of the church from Ignatius (1st century) to Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (20th century).
Their aim is to introduce children to real heroes — ‘people who are willing to live and die for what they believe’ — and to teach families ‘more about the story of the church… and to introduce children to heroes of the faith in every period of history’.
