Welcome to the third week of our Trailblazers Book Review Extravaganza. We have 33 book reviewers, who are each reviewing one of the titles in our Trailblazers series during the month of October. Excerpts and links to the reviews will appear below as they become available:

“The book really is part biography, part theological study. Again, it’s wonderful how Mackenzie combines the storytelling of Calvin’s life, with the important theological truths that he defended.”
-Josh Starkey (myborrowedwords.wordpress.com)

“The difficulties young Brainerd faced offered opportunities to talk as a family about God’s sovereign plans for each person and the fact that as Christians we are not to expect a life of ease and comfort, but rather a life of faithfulness and obedience that will ultimately glorify our Creator, even through times of trial and suffering.”
-Wendi Bevitt (adventureswithmyfamily.blogspot.com)

“Helen’s love for the people of the Congo, her steadfastness in the face of great odds, and her unwavering faith in the Lord are a great example for children and adults alike. On His Majesty’s Service is a well-written and interesting book.”
-Melissa Jackson (www.breathoflifeministries.blogspot.com)

“Author, Lucille Travis has done a wonderful job of chronicling the life of this itinerant preacher in her book, George Whitefield: The Voice that Woke the World.”
-Taryn Raulston (tarynraulston.blogspot.com)

“For my boys, it was exciting to read about a scientist who served the Lord. Generally, our Christian biographies revolve around theologians and missionaries. It’s really interesting to read about the way God works in other vocations and areas of life as well. Michael Faraday was not a missionary, but his discoveries and work improved the everyday lives of common people.”
-Danika Cooley (http://thinkingkids.wordpress.com)

“I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and it made me realize just how wonderful God was to place William Wilberforce in history at that precise time. This book (and the entire [Trailblazers] series) would make a great addition to any parent’s (or grandparent’s) library, to share with their families. I highly recommend it.”

Welcome to the second week of our Trailblazers Book Review Extravaganza. We have 33 book reviewers, who are each reviewing one of the titles in our Trailblazers series during the month of October. Excerpts and links to the reviews will appear below as they become available:

“I jumped at the opportunity to read and review this book because I wanted to learn more about the man, Eric Liddell, behind the movie Chariots of Fire… I would easily recommend this book as a good, basic biographical book.”
-Todd Randolph (mountainpointe.org)

“It is a gripping tale of a man who began his days barefoot and playing in the great outdoors of India, he became confined to life in a classroom in England, only to be compelled and drawn back to India as a medical missionary.”
- A wonderful Homeschooling Family who blogs at www.se7en.org.za

“This is a warm book of a man who lived for God. It is suitable for older children to read to themselves and I found an exciting testimony of how God turned around a man’s life. Recommended.”
-Sarah Jones (weshallobtaindeliveringgrace.blogspot.co.uk)

“The book clearly shares the hand of the Lord in the life of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and makes the need for all boys and girls to likewise come to know Jesus Christ as savior and Lord.”
-Pastor David Bissett (thebreadline.wordpress.com)

Welcome to the first week of our Trailblazers Book Review Extravaganza. We have 33 book reviewers, who are each reviewing one of the titles in our Trailblazers series during the month of October. Excerpts and links to the reviews will appear below as they become available:

” I think the book is a good reminder of the fact that someone that is very heavenly minded can be of earthly good. MCCheyne brought tastes of heaven to his people through his life lived out in the gospel with words and actions that spoke clearly and loudly. McCheyne was a model of compassion and grace – mercy and action in total dependence on God.”
-David Craig (verticallivingministries.com)

“I was particularly impressed with Catherine’s ability to write the story with the voice of a young teenage woman, despite writing in the third person. The 176 pages (paperback version) is a light easy read, yet filled with deep truths and revelation of God’s power and glory. I highly recommend it.”
-Taryn Hayes (www.hayesfamily.co.za)
