This biography of James Clerk Maxwell tells the story of one of the greatest physicists of the nineteenth century. Maxwell discovered the relationship between electricity, magnetism, and light, which prepared the way for radio waves and the internet. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, said, "I stand not on the shoulders of Newton, but on the shoulders of James Clerk Maxwell." Maxwell's work on color theory, thermodynamics and physics laid the foundation for modern science. What many do not know, is that James Clerk Maxwell considered his greatest discovery to be his faith in Jesus Christ.

A biography of Johann Sebastian Bach, musician, composer and Christian. Felix Mendelssohn called his work "the greatest music in the world," and wrote about one of Bach's choruses: "If life had taken hope and faith from me, this single chorus would restore all."

A biography of C.S. Lewis, author of the Narnia Chronicles, and one of the foremost apologists of the twentieth century. This book tells his story: beginning with his childhood in Ireland and telling of his long journey to faith. This book is written on a 5th-6th grade reading level, but younger children will enjoy having it read aloud to them.
