Christian biographies are a great way to be encouraged in your faith as you discover the lives of those who have walked with Jesus in the past. In this collection, we've gathered the best biographies of missionaries (like Amy Carmichael and John Paton), theologians and pastors (like Charles Spurgeon and J.I. Packer) and faithful Christians like Corrie ten Boom.
Use the product filters to browse books by person, topic, or series. One of our favourite series is Profiles in Reformed Spirituality, which lets you get to know great theologians in their own words. For more of our best-selling titles, check out our Christian Biography Highlights collection.
