Overview
The men and women portrayed in this third volume of the Heroes Who Live On series have all made a lasting impression on the written and developmental history of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches.
Featured in this volume are Christopher Sauer (Sower), Sr., Amy B. Greenlun, Elizabeth Stauffer Tyson, Floyd Taber, Herman Koontz, Bernard Schneider, James Boyer, Keith Altig, Angie Garber, Marguerite Dunning, Walter Fretz, and Raimundo Cardoso.
These “heroes” form a beautiful and complex mosaic that stretches across three centuries. These stories are meant to challenge and inspire, and are useful in a variety of settings, including small group use, Sunday School, and ABF lessons, for personal devotional use, and as “Mission Moments” in public worship services.
