A Treasury of Christian Wisdom: Two Thousand Years of Christian Lives and Quotations

The first part of the book is a comprehensive collection of the thoughts, ideas and aspirations of men and women which spans the centuries, nations and denominations. All are chosen to inspire and provoke thought among Christians and non-Christians alike. The second part of the book is an absorbing compilation of biographies of the most prominent Christians of the last two thousand years. Some famous, some less well-known, the lives of these men and women are recorded with concise biographical detail and a fascinating explanation of why they are remembered today. Based on two previous books, The Hodder Book of Christian Quotations and The Hodder & Stoughton Book of Famous Christians, both now fully revised and updated with new entries including Mother Teresa and Cardinal Basil Hume.
