Witness Men by Rebecca DavisAbout the Book:
In 1938, in the remote highlands of a mountainous island, explorers discovered thousands upon thousands of tribal people. Missionaries began to come, to bring the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Little did they know that many of the people of the tribes were waiting . . . waiting . . . for someone to come and help them out of the darkness of their old way of life. Witness Men consists of true missionary stories that took place throughout the highlands of Papua, Indonesia, from 1955 to 2010, when one of the tribes received their first New Testaments.

October Book Giveaway – Martin Luther What Should I Do? by Catherine Mackenzie

Martin Luther What Should I Do? by Catherine MacKenzieWith Reformation Day (October 31) just around the corner, we’ve been thinking a lot about Martin Luther, so we’re featuring Martin Luther: What Should I Do? by Catherine Mackenzie in the October Book Giveaway on the Christian Focus 4 Kids Blog.

About the Book:
The true story of Martin Luther and the Reformation. What would you do if you were hungry and needed your supper? Would you stand outside someone’s door and sing for it? At the boarding school in Eisenach, Martin and his friends had to sing for their supper. As well as working out ways to get some tasty food before bedtime Martin spent a lot of time thinking about how to get to heaven. Martin thought that he had to pray for hours on end, eat very little, work very hard and study a great many good books in order to have his sins forgiven. However, as he began to read God’s Word for himself he discovered that the answer was not in doing these things, but by putting his trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

How God Changes People by Carine MackenzieAbout the Book:
A sneaky little thief meets Jesus and then he starts giving away his money instead – that’s Zacchaeus. A ruthless thug chases down Christians but after a run in with the risen Lord, he joins forces with the people he once hated – that’s Paul. A young woman sits on the river bank, when she hears the Word of God, a quiet change warms her heart and another sinner is saved, a life changed and an eternity secured – that’s Lydia. These people and others in this book were all changed by God through his Word. And we can read about them in his Word – the Bible.

About the Author:
Carine MacKenzie’s talent for retelling Bible stories has meant that children from all over the world have been given the opportunity to discover Jesus Christ for themselves. She has sales of over 3 million books and stays in Inverness, Scotland.
