This is the second book in the series ‘Defenders of the Faith’, for ‘tweens and teens’ (although this is nowhere indicated).
It is described as ‘a great introduction to the men who preached and the women who taught God’s Word throughout history… (who) stood up to heresy and held out God’s truth to the world’. The book tells stories of various preachers and teachers, with connecting chapters of church history. The accounts of individuals are told as stories; the connecting chapters are more simply factual.
