Ten Boys Who Changed the World - Paperback

Transformative Stories: From Struggle to Redemption

What happens when young boys, troubled by their pasts and struggles, are transformed by the power of faith? This collection of stories reveals the lives of ten men who went from difficult beginnings to leaving an indelible mark on the world through their commitment to Christ.

• Brother Andrew grew up in war-torn Holland, causing mischief with German soldiers. But he became “God’s Smuggler,” risking his life to smuggle Bibles into Communist countries where Christianity was forbidden, spreading the Gospel despite great dangers.
• John Newton was forced into the British Navy at a young age and later became a slave trader. His life was turned around when he found Christ, becoming a pastor and the writer of the famous hymn “Amazing Grace,” a testament to his transformation.
• Billy Graham rose from a humble farm boy to become a world-renowned evangelist, preaching to millions with a simple but powerful message of salvation in Jesus Christ. His ministry reached across continents, changing the spiritual lives of countless individuals.
• Eric Liddell, an Olympic athlete, refused to race on Sundays because of his faith. His story didn’t end with his athletic success; he went on to serve as a missionary in China, dedicating his life to spreading the Gospel until his death.
• William Carey, often called the “Father of Modern Missions,” defied the expectations of his time by going to India. There, he translated the Bible into multiple Indian languages, laying the groundwork for modern missionary work and inspiring future generations.
• David Livingstone, a missionary and explorer, ventured deep into Africa to bring the message of Christ to remote regions. His relentless pursuit of faith also made him a key figure in the fight against the slave trade.
• Nicky Cruz grew up in a household steeped in spirit worship and violence. After becoming a notorious gang leader in New York, his life took a dramatic turn when he encountered Christ through the ministry of David Wilkerson. Nicky became an evangelist, sharing hope with troubled youth around the world.
• Adoniram Judson was one of the first American missionaries to Burma. Despite enduring imprisonment and tremendous hardship, Judson spent decades translating the Bible into Burmese, establishing a strong Christian presence in the region.
• George Müller started life as a thief and rebel but became a man of deep faith, founding orphanages that cared for over 10,000 children in England. Relying entirely on prayer and never asking for donations, Müller’s story is a testament to God’s provision.
• Luis Palau became one of the greatest evangelists of the modern era, sharing the Gospel with millions across the world. Often called the “Billy Graham of Latin America,” his passionate preaching and media outreach made him a leading voice for Christianity.
