Trial and Triumph: Stories from Church History
In Trial and Triumph: Stories from Church History, Hannula sketches the stirring trials and triumphs of many famous and some lesser known figures in our family of faith. These figures include…
- Augustine
- Charlemagne
- Anselm
- Luther
- Bunyan
- Charles Spurgeon.
These biographies provide a wonderful glimpse into the role that the Christian faith played in the lives of people throughout history. They begin with the “Early Church,” move into the “Middle Ages” (followed by the “Reformation” and the “Post-Reformation”) and finish with “Modern Missions” and “Recent Times.” This provides a great way to learn Church history through fascinating biographical sketches!
Note: While this book is a tremendous resource for Church history, due to its mature content, we waited to use it until our students were older and more mature in their faith. With that being said, I am excited for our students not to miss the opportunity to read this wonderful book as one part of our study of world history.
