They Were Christians by Christobal Krusen

I have been thinking about purpose. Cristobal Krusen's purpose of the book is to share the lives of people whom we might know, but we might not know their Faith background. They Were Christians by Cristobal Krusen is about Christians who lived lives of purpose. There is Frederick Douglas, Florence Nightingale and Dag Hammarskjold.

Dag Hammarskjold served his purpose as a Secretary-General. Sadly, he died in a plane crash. Then, there is Frederick Douglas. He was determined to become free through his bravery and belief in God. In the end, he became a public speaker speaking against slavery, and he became  a newspaper publisher, etc.

In the book, there are eleven biographical profiles. I would also count the author's Christian experience which I found fascinating. This would make twelve biographies. The author, Cristobal Krusen's,  personal experience must count also. He studied many religions and experienced a deep love for Christianity. The people in the book became like "personal friends."

I especially liked reading about famous literary figures like Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Charles Dickens. I only knew that Dostoyevsky was a Russian. His life is full of irony. For example, Dostoyevsky born rich fought for the rights of the serfs. However,the serfs fought against him because of the wealth.

One part of the book I have to mention is the dedication. The author dedicates the book to his father. He gives his father's name. Then he writes, "He loved me with a quiet love, and it has made all the difference." What a perfect gift for Father's Day. Cristobalkrusen.com
