A Bunch of Everlastings: Biographies and Sermons of the Greatest Christian Preachers and Leaders - Paperback

by Frank W. Boreham (Author)

These superb short biographies of great Christian preachers, educators and leaders describe the challenges they overcame to contribute to the faith, their communities, and their countries.

The biographer repeatedly recalls defining themes of each person's work; by repeating short quotations, we see how events in each person's life influenced their deeds and principles. In the case of Martin Luther, his early interest in ancient literature and the cultural awakening of the Renaissance was carried into his professional life at Wittenberg, and thereon to his pivotal role in the birth of the Protestant Reformation. Through Luther's researches and knowledge of what God was to historical Christian believers, the faith was forever changed.

Yet the biographies herein range across centuries; from iconic figures such as William Wilberforce and John Wesley, to several less-remembered but superbly insightful leaders and preachers of yore. Through Boreham's well-informed accounts we witness how some of the finest Christians who ever lived made their mark upon the faith, the evolution of the church, and the lives of countless believers.

Baptist preacher Frank W. Boreham was for many years a distinguished minister and author of several influential books on Christian topics, popular in both his native Australia and around the world.
