Christianity arose in a time and place populated by dozens of mystery religions, yet it was God's guiding hand which willed a fledgling sect of believers to grow into one of the most influential and widespread religions in the entire world. Perhaps one of the most fascinating aspects of Christianity is the sheer variety of Christians themselves; far from being a homogenous group, believers have long hailed from every corner of the planet, and their individual stories are often biblical in their own right. This book is a fascinating recounting of the lives of some of the most colorful people who were made in His image and who followed His word, from every age between the first century to today.
