Five Mere Christians

Binge-Worthy Biographies That Show You How to Glorify God in Your Work

Experience the riveting true stories of five men and women who changed the world by following Christ in their careers—and discover practical applications for how you can, too.

Do you ever wonder what it means to truly glorify God in your work if you’re not a pastor, missionary, or religious professional?

Rather than offering theological exposition to answer that question, Jordan Raynor and Kaleigh Cox use vivid, fast-paced storytelling to present the captivating lives of five “mere Christians” who will show you what it looks like to follow Christ wherever you live and work:

Fred Rogers, the TV host from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, demonstrates how your selfless service of others can reveal glimpses of heaven on earth.

Fannie Lou Hamer, the courageous civil rights activist, models how to pursue justice without hating the unjust.

Ole Kirk Christiansen, the founder of LEGO, shows how to persevere through life’s most difficult trials and find God’s purpose in play.

Hannah More, the audacious poet largely credited for abolishing slavery throughout the British Empire, exemplifies how to change the world through culture and not just politics.

C.S. Lewis, the literature professor and bestselling author of The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity, invites you to embrace your unique opportunities to proclaim the Gospel and make disciples.

Unlike typical biographies that get bogged down in boring detail, each story in this collection is mercifully short, extremely entertaining, and profoundly helpful—providing clear takeaways for modern-day mere Christians looking to glorify God in their own everyday work.

Inspired

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook as I traveled from California to Ohio for a big Big new job and also to redeem the story of a broken family and relationship with my mom. These biographies of ordinary people who did extraordinary things in the way in which they chose to do their work and live their lives and loving the Lord, with all of their hearts on mind was inspiring.

Real life stories

It took me a minute to adjust to the author’s voice but I was quickly pulled into skillfully crafted stories of lives well lived.

Amazing!

Any easy read, although I did it on audible. The voice of the author was entertaining and enjoyable to listen to. I would highly recommend this to my friends and family.

This book was a complete surprise to me!

It spoke of the importance of His story from our history as mere Christians. I would highly recommend this book to anyone searching for meaning in our ordinary days.

A joy to listen to!

Couldn’t wait to listen to the next story and the next and the next..! It was as though I could picture each character and be a part of their lives. Often the tears flowed but also often I found myself smiling as I was listening. Highly recommend this book. Thanks Jordan for giving me great joy!!
