If you are an avid reader, do you ever treat yourself to a new book?
With the gift-giving season upon us, here’s a suggestion for a particular genre you might like: Christian biography.
Several years ago I started reading biographies of famous Christian leaders from the past. Here are some of the books I’ve read. I can wholeheartedly recommend every one of them because it’s exciting to see how God does amazing things through his people! And they make great Christmas gifts for yourself, a Christian friend, or your pastor.

The Daring Mission of William Tyndale

Do yourself a big favor and pick one of these titles to read. If you’re unfamiliar with any of these people, just Google them to find out who they are and why you will benefit by reading about them.
My favorite is The Daring Mission of William Tyndale. I started reading it recently for the third time. This is an inspiring account of the work of God to provide perseverance to a man of god. Tyndale is widely regarded as “the father of the English Bible” because he was the first to translate the entire New Testament and portions of the Old Testament from Greek and Hebrew into English. It cost him his life. Before you lay your head down tonight, thank God for William Tyndale.
