It is not always easy to be a Christian. In years gone by, many people suffered for their faith in Christ and their obedience to His Word. Some were forced to leave their homes. Some were separated from their families. Some even lost their lives.

Godly Heroes of the Past is a collection of moving stories about some of these faithful heroes. It includes stories about Anabaptists and Waldensians, as well as a few about the apostles—written in a simple way especially for young children. Each story is beautifully illustrated with a picture that will give children an accurate glimpse of life in the days of long ago.
