Hodder Faith has always been a home for the very best of Christian testimony and autobiography. From much-loved classics to modern-day memoirs, these books are bound to challenge and inspire.
One of the most powerful testimonies of the twentieth century, RUN BABY RUN is Nicky Cruz's bestselling account of his conversion from inner-city gang member to disciple of Christ. No less hard-hitting is THE HIDING PLACE by Corrie ten Boom, the story of how one Dutch family risked everything to hide persecuted Jews during the Second World War – and paid the ultimate price. Brother Andrew was for many years GOD'S SMUGGLER, bringing faith and hope to Christians behind the Iron Curtain. If you haven't read these three classic biographies, you need to!
Another bestselling classic is Jackie Pullinger's CHASING THE DRAGON: one woman’s struggle against the darkness of Hong Kong's infamous Walled City. New for 2010 this incredible true story is retold as a cutting-edge Manga graphic novel.
