Will teens read history?

WIELDING THE SWORD
Preachers and teachers of God’s Word
By Linda Finlayson
Christian Focus 4 Kids. 175 pages. £6.99
ISBN 978 1 781 912 959

This is the second book in the series ‘Defenders of the Faith’, for ‘tweens and teens’ (although this is nowhere indicated).

It is described as ‘a great introduction to the men who preached and the women who taught God’s Word throughout history… (who) stood up to heresy and held out God’s truth to the world’. The book tells stories of various preachers and teachers, with connecting chapters of church history. The accounts of individuals are told as stories; the connecting chapters are more simply factual.
