Christians have changed the world for the better
Excellent collection of biographies of famous and not so famous movers and shakers who were led by their Christian faith. If anyone thinks Christians are losers, I direct them to this book to find out about those who have taken their Christian faith and put it into action! Very well written and a delight to read.

Fascinating and inspiring read
This book is a fascinating read into the lives and contributions of famous individuals, Christians, who changed the course of history. Whereas I was familiar with the contributions of many of the individuals, I was unaware of their underlying faith and motivation. There were others I knew nothing about, notably Chiune Sugihara, who as the Japanese consular officer in Lithuania during WWII, managed to save over 2,000 Jews.The chapters on Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and Chiune Sugihara were particularly moving, as these men consistently sought God to guide and govern their actions in times of crisis.But this is not just an anthology of discrete biographical accounts. Each history is linked with the personal journey of faith of the author, Cristóbol Krusen, In the introduction of each chapter Cristóbol describes an episode from his own life, develops the theme, and seamlessly relates it to the history that follows. At the conclusion of each chapter he invites us to reflect on the faith and works of this individual, effectively challenging us to carry on his or her legacy.The interweaving of Cristóbol’s personal journey with the lives of these well-known individuals enriches the book and helps inspire us, the readers.I highly recommend this book.

Good book
This book is so good but is a few pages for to tell about each person and then is not possible to know more for each one of them.

Inspiring Stories
I loved the book so much I bought a copy for my niece. I do wonder if some of the people really were Christians, or if Krusen only speculates they are based on characteristics and lifestyles. But, it is a great encouragement to know that not every Christian is called to work in the church or in the “ministry” and that sometimes they are used by God in the unlikeliest of places. “They Were Christians” is a great book, and I think it should be added to home school curriculum everywhere!
