Das beeindruckende Leben von Robert M'Cheyne hat viele junge Christen zum Nachahmen motiviert. Doch wer war er, und warum ist er in seinem kurzen Leben von 29 Jahren zum Glaubensvorbild geworden? Während seines Theologie-Studiums wurde er durch Gottes Gnade errettet und von dem großen Wunsch erfüllt, den Menschen die rettende Botschaft von Jesus Christus zu predigen. Aber man muss nicht weit weg gehen, um ein Missionar zu sein und etwas zu bewirken. Das war eine der ersten Lektionen, die Robert in seinem Leben als Christ lernte. Er war ein leidenschaftlicher Prediger für Christus, der Schottland in seinem kurzen Wirken durch seine Liebe zur Bibel und seinen Hass gegen die Sünde einen unauslöschlichen Stempel aufgedrückt hat. Obwohl Robert ziemlich jung und kränklich war, war er sehr eifrig darin, Menschen von Jesus zu erzählen und besonders den Armen zu helfen. Sein Leben ist gekennzeichnet von der Abhängigkeit von Christus und der Treue zu Ihm. Dieses Buch ist der fünfte Band der Buchreihe »Glaubensvorbilder« für Kinder und Jugendliche.

Georgie Orme established a childcare centre in Kenya for the rehabilitation for children with mobility problems. Most of her original patients had suffered from polio and, left to their own devices, hauled themselves along the ground, seal-like - dragging their useless lower limbs behind them. Seeking out anyone who would teach them anything, Georgie and her team stretched affected tendons through many hundreds of hours of pain-staking and painful physiotherapy until children's limbs were straight enough to be strapped into very basic home-produced splints. Many children were encouraged to do the apparently impossible - they learned to walk. Daniel, also a polio victim, joined the team. A shoemaker, he went to South Korea for a short training programme in orthotics and prosthetics. He soon put his newfound skills into practice. Amazingly, the Centre at Kajiado started producing its own artificial limbs. Children who were born without feet, or had traumatically lost their feet, were fitted with Kajiado-produced limbs and enabled to walk for the first time. The work had extended way beyond the original need Child Care Centre. God used a very ordinary Scottish missionary to do a most extraordinary work. Becoming mobile was not an end in itself, Maasai children were enabled to attend school, learn a trade and become independent. Many who saw Christian love in action became Christians.

Ten stories of history-making women Florence Nightingale Elizabeth Elliot

These Christian stalwarts were once young boys playing games, learning from mistakes and growing up in quite a different world. But was it that different? Irene Howat has researched the lives of these men of God and draws out lessons we can all relate to, especially youngsters today. Charles Spurgeon (Preacher and Writer); Jonathan Edwards (Revival Preacher and missionary); Samuel Rutherford (Westminster Confession of Faith; Preacher); D L Moody (Evangelist and Children's Worker); Martin Lloyd Jones (Physician and Preacher); A W Tozer (Preacher and Writer); John Owen (Preacher and Writer); Robert Murray McCheyne (Preacher and Mission worker); Billy Sunday (Sportsman and Evangelist); George Whitfield (Revival Preacher and Orphanage founder). Find out how Samuel showed people that love works better than fear; John made friends with powerful rulers and humble craftsmen; Jonathan helped the Iroquois Indians and then was asked to teach at Princeton; George preached Salvation to thousands and saved the lives of children; Robert lost his brother but found Jesus; Dwight sold shoes in a shop and then taught children in a caravan; Billy played professional baseball and then preached the gospel; Charles became a Christian in a snowstorm and then told the world about Jesus; Aiden rescued orphan lambs and then he was saved by Jesus; Martyn became a doctor but found a better medicine for souls.

John stood and watched as some of the largest waves he had ever seen threw themselves at the ship. Very little stood between the young slave ship captain and death – and he knew it. His panic and fear made him think only of himself and nothing for the hundreds of men, women and children chained in the hold below. However, God still heard his prayers and the cries of the tortured humanity pleading for mercy and justice. The very man selling them into slavery would soon fight for their freedom. John Newton was one of the worst abusers of the African slave as he travelled the oceans to make money from their misery – but in the end his life was changed and so was theirs.

The story of London City Mission is of men walking the poorest streets of London, getting their hands dirty as they reached out to people in need with the message of the Gospel and their unique brand of practical help. Rather than writing a consecutive history of London City Mission, the authors selected areas of the work and told the story of each. The story takes a different turn as it enters the 20th C. From being the capital city of an empire, London became a city at war with itself and then with others. LCM missionaries were right in among the revolutionaries. What comes out in the story of LCM is that missionaries were men (until the late 1980s) whose hearts were full of compassion for the lost and the needy. The Mission is still looking forward to the challenge of the 21st Century LCM may be an old Mission, but it is not resting on its laurels; rather it is grappling, as it always has, with today's London, and planning for the needs of the London of tomorrow.
