September 25. CS Lewis. Lewis wrote more than thirty books, which have sold millions of copies. They run the literary gamut: fantasy, sci-fi, speculative fiction, apologetics, autobiography, and now-classic Christian non-fiction. The Chronicles of Narnia have also appeared on stage, TV, radio, and in films.  Lewis taught English at both Oxford and Cambridge, and during World War 2, he bolstered the courage of many young military […] The post CS Lewis, Ireland, Scholar & Author first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

September 23. Sam Childers. There was a time when Sam rode a sizable American-made motorcycle as a drug-addicted member of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club.

September 22. Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was not only a statesman, a lawyer, and the 16th President of the United States. As a young man, he was also a star wrestler and not above talking some smack in the ring. In about 300 matches, he was defeated only once. And after one of his winning matches, he challenged the spectators.  He yelled, “I’m […] The post Abraham Lincoln, US, President first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

September 21. Donald Cargill. About seven years after he started preaching, Cargill joined the Covenanters—a group of Bible believers who refused to swear that the king was the head of the church. They believed Christ was the head of the church and fought to defend that belief.  At first, he tried to make peace between the king and the Covenanters, but […] The post Donald Cargill, Scottish Preacher first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

September 20. Josiah Henson.  Born into slavery, Josiah refused to remain enslaved. When he was 18, he became a Christian and soon began to preach after slaving all day.

September 19. Charles Spurgeon. When Charles was 19, a church asked him to come for a 6-month try-out as pastor. Charles agreed to a 3-month trial and said, “The congregation might not want me, and I do not wish to be a hindrance.” He stayed 38 years and brought more than 14,000 people in.  Usually, Charles chose the theme for the Sunday-morning sermon the night before, took a single page of notes to the pulpit, and […] The post Charles Spurgeon, England, Minister first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

September 18. GK Chesterton. Chesterton was an exuberant man, a keen debater, and a prolific writer—ninety books, ten novels, and many articles. Best known for his Father Brown mystery series, Chesterton was also a philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic. He has a camp of followers and a camp of haters. Either way, he makes a reader think deeply.  Chesterton knew how to have […] The post GK Chesterton, England, Author first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

September 17. TD Jakes. When TD was a boy, the neighborhood kids called him “Bible Boy,” but because he had a speech impediment, grownups said he would never be a preacher. TD proved those grownups wrong, and he started preaching in a storefront church with only ten members.  On this date in 2001, TD was featured on the cover of Time Magazine. He is now a pastor, author, and […] The post TD Jakes, US, Pastor first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

September 16. Matt Krueger. Matt was a hard-driving accountant. He was still a very young man when he had a close encounter of the God kind, and it changed his life forever. Here’s his story.  You can’t fight an enemy you don’t know exists, and you can’t fight a battle you don’t know you’re in.  The nurses kept […] The post Matt Krueger, US, Accountant first appeared on 365 Christian Men.
