Memoir Series Biographies for Young People

This is an excellent series of biographies written many years ago. We are so happy to have discovered them, and are equally delighted to bring them back into print. These are true biographies—not adventure stories as so many biographies are today. They are not constrained by political correctness or the liberal ideas that are currently becoming popular in many religious circles. These biographies are also different in the fact that they do contain the actual beliefs of these servants of God. These books contain many direct quotes from the actual writings of these people; hence, the name “Memoir Series.” We know you have probably read many biographies, but we suggest you give these a read. You will gain new ideas about these people and the real motives for their actions. These books are excellent reading for children eleven and older. Teens and adults will enjoy them equally as well. We did! Though older, these biographies are not long and tedious. In fact, they are short enough that we have often combined two biographies per volume. They are paperback and 5˝x8˝ in size.

Alexander Mackay Alexander Mackay was a highly-skilled young man dedicated to the Lord and His mission field. He was one of the first missionaries to Uganda. He faced the triple issues of slavery, pagan idolatry, and cannibalism. He patiently labored in this land and ultimately was martyred for His God. He willingly gave His life so that others might hear of the True Life, Jesus Christ. What an example! James Hannington James Hannington longed to be a missionary and follow in the footsteps of Alexander Mackay. He faced hardship after hardship, but his zeal never failed. He wanted to live his life on the mission field and to die for His God. Ultimately, that is exactly what happened.

Product Image Add To Cart   Ann Judson & Pandita Ramabai
Ann Judson Ann Judson left family, home, and prosperity to follow her husband and the Lord Jesus Christ to bring the gospel to the far-off land of Burma. She did this in a time when travel was difficult, there were no furloughs or retirement, and little or no support. She was a woman of great courage whose walk with the Lord will perhaps inspire others to follow the Lord as well. Pandita Ramabai, This is the incredible story of Pandita Ramabai, a woman from India, and how she came to the Lord in a nearly impossible situation in a pagan country. India was an appalling country for women, and the situation was much worse for widows and young girls. Pandita Ramabai not only found the Lord, but also became a tool in His Hand to bring hundreds to Him for salvation. There is much for all of us to learn from her life. One quote I copied down was: "I wish them (the unconverted) to see the contrast in every thing where love rules." What a motto for all believers to practice! We pray you shall be blessed by reading her biography.

Fanny Crosby
Fanny Crosby was a humble, little woman who was blind, and yet she "saw" spiritually so much more than many of us sighted followers of Christ.

The sum total of her "little somethings" added up to a life lived well for the Lord Jesus Christ. May we do as much!

Product Image Add To Cart   John Bunyan & Dwight L Moody Biography

John Bunyan
John Bunyan was a preacher, author, husband, father and one of the most faithful followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. He chose prison rather than freedom. He chose poverty rather than riches. He chose loneliness rather than family. Through it all, he spent his time studying God's Word and writing from his prison cell. He wrote Pilgrim's Progress which became the world's best selling book next to the Bible. Surely, as the Bible says, "their works do follow them." John Bunyan's works are still following him as thousands upon thousands are still reading about him and his books. His life is well worth reading!

D. L. Moody
This biography recounts the life of a busy man who, upon conversion to the Lord Jesus Christ, gave his life wholly to Him. D. L. Moody loved children and knew they, too, needed to hear about his Saviour. He put his love into action by creating Sunday schools for the poor and needy children of Chicago. He taught others how to do what he was doing, so they, too, could reach lost children for the Lord. It is incredible what one life, wholly surrendered to God, can do!
