Trend–setter Charles Simeon was well known among his peers for many things including being one of the first to purchase the new invention of an umbrella!
This engaging biography takes young readers through Charles’s journey from his early days at Cambridge University to his influential role as a preacher and leader in the Church of England and founder of the Christian Missionary Society.
As a young man, he enjoyed the pleasures that life offered a well educated young man in the 1700s studying at Cambridge University. His interest in religion, however, didn’t go much beyond trying to salve his conscience by good works.
On the day he realised he could not earn his own salvation, Charles Simeon was set on a remarkable pathway to spread the good news of Salvation through preaching God’s Word. His conversion had a huge impact on his life: the troubled youth became a devoted Christian on a mission. He was a passionate preacher and enthusiastic about evangelism.
The Trailblazer series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today. This gripping and astonishing story from George MacLean will challenge young readers to trust and serve God as Charles Simeon did.
