<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The accounts of historic missionaries (William Wallace, Eric Liddell, Lottie Moon, Jim Elliot, John & Betty Stam, David Brainerd, William Carey, Adoniram Judson, James Fraser, and George Leile) remind us how to live out what the Bible says. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Ten Who Changed the World</i> is seminary president Daniel Akin's powerful tribute to the transformational work done by some truly inspiring Christian missionaries. With each profile, he journeys into the heart of that gospel servant's mission-minded story and makes a compelling connection to a similar account from the Bible. <p/><b>David Brainerd</b> (1718-1747; missionary to Native Americans) reminds Akin of Paul's missionary life in 2 Timothy. The faithful ministry of <b>George Leile</b> (1750-1820; missionary to Jamaica) is aligned with Galatians 6. <p/><b>William Carey</b> (1761-1834; missionary to India) lives out the Great Commission of Matthew 28. There are parallels between <b>Adoniram Judson</b> (1788-1850; missionary to Burma) and Romans 8. <p/><b>Lottie Moon</b> (1840-1912; missionary to China) displays the power of a consecrated life described in Romans 12. The work of <b>James Fraser</b> (1886-1938; missionary to China) illustrates Revelation 5. <b>Eric Liddell</b> (1902-1945; missionary to China), his life documented in the film <i>Chariots of Fire</i>, illuminates Hebrews 12. <p/>Together, <b>John</b> (1907-1934) and <b>Betty Stam</b> (1906-1934; missionaries to China) embodied Psalm 67. <b>William Wallace</b> (1908-1951; missionary to China) was a shining example of Philippians 1. <b>Jim Elliot</b> (1927-1956; missionary to Ecuador) is a bold reminder of Psalm 96. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Daniel L. Akin</b> is president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. His previous books include <i>Engaging Exposition</i>, <i>God on Sex</i>, and <i>A Theology for the Church</i>. Akin and his wife have four adult sons and a growing number of grandchildren.<br>
