Most Christian biographies cover the lives of prominent and well-known men and women who served the Lord. But is there something to learn from lesser-known saints too? 

Faith Cook brings the stories of nine “ordinary” Christians out of the shadows to illustrate the grace and power of the Lord in their lives.  

Closing with a biographical tribute to children’s writer Patricia St John, who was a personal friend of the author, this collection will encourage readers in their walk with the Lord as they see his hand at work in the lives of these men and women of faith. 

Includes:

• James Lackington - The Enigma
• Richard Rodda - One of Wesley's Veterans
• Fanny Burnett - Charles Dickens' favourite sister
• Michael Bruce - A poet robbed
• Lorenzo Dow - God's eccentric
• Elizabeth Singer Rowe - True beauty
• William Dell - John Bunyan's irrepressible friend
• Hallgrimur Petursson - Poet of the cross
