Many will know of the great names of church history through mention of them in sermons, but that is often as far as it goes. Lights shining in the darkness has been written to introduce its readers to eleven 'men of faith' who, in the providence of God, has made an impact on the ministry of the Christian church. Each of these men had a passionate love for the Lord and his Word, which they eagerly desired to share with an often hostile world. The choice of men to consider is enormous and those included in this book are simply men the author has always been interested in, such as William Tyndale, Martin Luther, John Wycliffe, Oliver Cromwell, and Jonathan Edwards. No Christian can fail to benefit from knowing about such men who have been used by the Lord to take on the world in the name of Christ. It is hoped that these brief glimpses into each of their lives will inspire and encourage readers to go on and find out more about these spiritual giants for themselves.
