PART FOUR EXAMPLES OF EFFECTIVE CHRISTIANS
Introduction
After reading many biographies of those who, by any standard, were effective Christians, I selected four as representative of the total, and made sketches of their life stories. One was a native of England, two were from the European continent, and one was from the United States. One was an evangelist, one was a missionary, one was a pastor and theologian, and one was an agricultural scientist and teacher.
The great scientist Sir Isaac Newton said, “If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood upon the shoulders of giants.” After reading the biographical sketches of these extraordinary Christians, we may feel that we have stood upon the shoulders of spiritual giants.
