Christ’s Church will continue.
Almost 2000 years ago, Jesus promised his followers “I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
In recent years, those words have become very a precious and a secure hope for Christians across the world. Jesus’ Church is a family that must endure onward.
Within these pages, we find Christians who will do just that across a range of spheres and in various struggles: including Dietrich Bonhoffer, C.S. Lewis, Billy Graham, Elizabeth Elliot, Eta Linnemann, and Benjamin Kwashi. Whether they seek to make new followers of Jesus, combat evil and injustice, defend the truth of the Bible, or endure intense persecution, these men and women exhibit a faith of deep resolve.
The Risen Hope series is a narrative–driven journey through the history of the Church. Introducing key people and events from the last two thousand years, readers will be captivated by the fascinating stories and engaging style. Continuing the legacy of its predecessor, the History Lives series, the Risen Hope series is a breath of fresh air on the church history scene. Book 5 of 5.
Davis guides his reader through the decades and across continents as he transcends denominational divides to craft a tapestry of Kingdom influencers who point the reader to the importance of the gospel, its reasonableness, relevance, and defense today … an excellent resource for anyone, not just young people.
-- Thomas L. Foley (Founder, Christian Educators Outreach; Pastor, Mt. Shiloh Baptist Church, Faber, Virgina)Here we meet with some familiar saints, such as B. B. Warfield, C. S. Lewis, Corrie ten Boom, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and J. I. Packer, and others less well–known, all woven into a rich tapestry of God’s glory. As with Luke’s other volumes, this is a grand introduction to the modern era. I commend it warmly.
-- Nick Needham (Lecturer in Church History, Highland Theological College, Dingwall, Scotland)Resolve rounds out a great series on church history as seen through the eyes of those who were there. Covering the last two centuries, Davis uses the stories of modern Christian leaders to show how the present day church continues to evangelize, train pastors, and confront social issues. Readers will learn much from the short biographies and be encouraged that the cause of Christ continues around the world.
