Everyone has their role models. The lives of people who stood up for more than just themselves, and who gave everything to share Good News in the world. Everyone a Child Should Know is about those people.
From Brother Andrew to John Wycliffe, and from Florence Nightingale to Katie Luther, these are the people who made a difference. Their inspiring stories come from all over the world, from all walks of life, and all kinds of backgrounds high and low to change the lives of the people around them. They are the world changers, the light bringers.
Each one gets their own story told here, in simple language for younger readers, that draws on the lessons of their lives. Each inspiring and encouraging.
So, when it feels like no one person can make a difference, these people say otherwise. That with God, anything is possible. With God anyone can change the world.
