Children’s book features Wesleys
Author David Luckman, Church Planter at Hilden Community Church in Lisburn, part of Lambeg parish, has published another title in the Trail Blazers series of Christian Focus Publications.
The Trail Blazers series gathers great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to young people today. John and Charles Wesley – Two Brother’s One Faith tells the inspiring story of two brothers who left a permanent mark on Christian history.
Young readers are invited to step into the 18th century and meet John and Charles, brothers whose unwavering faith sparked an amazing spiritual revolution. They can read about the Wesleys’ transformative journey from the humble English countryside to the heart of a movement, known as Methodism, that changed the course of Christianity.
This story of John and Charles Wesley will introduce young people to the brothers’ astonishing commitment to social justice, their passion for community service, and their unyielding dedication to spreading the message of God’s love and grace throughout the British Isles.
Within the book are exciting stories of faith, courage, and resilience, as John and Charles Wesley navigate challenges, triumphs, and divine encounters. From lively Oxford University to the bustling streets of London, this biography paints a vibrant picture of their lives, making history come alive for young people.
David says: “I hope and pray that John and Charles Wesley – Two Brother’s One Faith will challenge young people to serve God as the Wesley brothers did.”
In the Trail Blazers series, David Luckman has written: Jack Turner – Truth in the Arctic which is currently on the publisher’s CF4Kids Imprint Top Sellers list; Thomas Cranmer – The King’s Ambassador; Polycarp – Faithful Unto Death; and John Wycliffe – According to the Word, published this year to commemorate the 700th anniversary of his birth in 1324.
David Luckman is the author of Adventures in Acts, which was published by Christian Focus Publications earlier this summer. Adventures in Acts is a two–volume set that depicts the exciting adventures of the Early Church, as found in the Acts of the Apostles, for 7 to 11–year–olds.
Copies of John and Charles Wesley – Two Brothers, One Faith can be bought directly from Christian Focus Publications, any Christian bookshop or on Amazon.
