J-rap Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I'm in a book club and we've been reading biographies on Christians who have stood up to injustices in societies, due to war, political systems, etc. For example, we recently read a biography about Dietrich Bonhoeffer (who took a stand against the Nazis during WWII). Looking for some good recommendations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brittany1116 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Christian Heroes Then and Now is a great series. I only have about 6 so I can't tell you which stories fit, but there are many to look into. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarter Note Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 @J-rap , this is not technically a biography or autobiography, but you may be interested in Good News About Injustice, Gary Haugen. Haugen tells the story of how he was a lawyer investigating the Rwandan genocide, and then started International Justice Mission to bring justice to the oppressed throughout the world. The book is really good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
