"For Those Who Dare": Short Biographies To Take You Through Time
“For Those Who Dare: 101 Great Christians and How They Changed The World” by John Hudson Tiner is a fabulous read because it transports you through time - across great discoveries, inventions, and ideas that changed the world.
The biographies start with Roger Bacon in 1220 (check out our first blog post to see a fabulous Roger Bacon quote) and ends with several people who are still alive today!
What I Love About the Format:
Each biography lists the birth and death year of each featured person.
Also noted is their “Career” and their “Major Accomplishments”
All the biographies are short - generally 2-3 pages
Other Notes:
As designated in the title, this book was written about people of Christian faith. The accounts are obviously summaries of people’s lives, but seem to be well researched and balanced.
