I appreciate all the research that went into this book. Ms. Hubbell has looked at many direct accounts of each of these individuals and also provides information on the legacy these individuals have left behind.

My family has a personal connection with Amy Carmichael, as my Mother in Law grew up in the South Indian town where she served for many years. We appreciate the way Ms. Hubbell tells her story because it really captures her mother-like presence in the lives of these many children whose lives were marked by her kind deeds.

I have also enjoyed reading about common historical figures I learned about in elementary school, such as Bach and Sojourner Truth, because this book presents the side of their stories we never learned about in public schools. Much of the great works they accomplished were an overflow of their faith in Christ, and a direct result of divine inspiration.

I so appreciated revisiting their stories from a fresh perspective and seeing how God wove together the details in their lives to perfectly prepare them for the calling he placed on them. It makes me realize that my life can also leave a mark on the world, not only as a Christian pointing others toward Christ, but also in practical service to mankind with Christ as my inspiration and example.
