Experience the riveting true stories of five men and women who changed the world by following Christ in their careers — and discover practical applications for how you can too.
Do you ever wonder what it means to truly glorify God in your work if you’re not a pastor, missionary, or religious professional?
Rather than offering theological exposition to answer that question, Jordan Raynor and Kaleigh Cox use vivid, fast-paced storytelling to present the captivating lives of five “mere Christians” who will show you what it looks like to follow Christ wherever you live and work:
Fred Rogers, the TV host from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, demonstrates how your selfless service to others can reveal glimpses of heaven on earth.
Fannie Lou Hamer, the courageous civil rights activist, models how to pursue justice without hating the unjust.
Ole Kirk Christiansen, the founder of LEGO, shows how to persevere through life’s most difficult trials and find God’s purpose in play.
Hannah More, the audacious poet largely credited for abolishing slavery throughout the British Empire, exemplifies how to change the world through culture and not just politics.
C.S. Lewis, the literature professor and bestselling author of The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity, invites you to embrace your unique opportunities to proclaim the gospel and make disciples.
Unlike typical biographies that get bogged down in boring detail, each story in this collection is mercifully short, extremely entertaining, and profoundly helpful — providing clear takeaways for modern-day mere Christians looking to glorify God in their own everyday work.
