There have been men and women who marked the history of Christianity, but regardless of their achievements and advances, they were human like all of us. Weak, sad and worried, but who carried with them a desire for the glory of God and to know God more.
This book brings us closer to these characters, not in a detailed or biographical way, but in a practical way. The author contrasts her life with that of C.S. Lewis, Augustine, Martin Luther, leading us to self-reflection.
Let's meet 25 characters within christianity who were like us but who nevertheless could know the grace of God.
The book is divided into 2 parts:
The first deals with characters who excelled in christian thought and philosophy. The second part, considers characters that were more practical. Undoubtedly, both parts complement each other and are necessary to read.
I enjoyed reading about Augustine, C. S. Lewis, Bonhoeffer, Wesley.
Possibly you will think - as I do - that the author should have considered other characters such as Whitefield, Edwards, etc. But in general, these 25 characters are very useful for reflection and will motivate you to read more about them and their writings
This book will be part of my 50 favorite books of 2017
