Lady Jane Grey
A little church history for children: Simonetta Carr has a new release in her series of biographies for young readers. This one’s the story of Lady Jane Grey, who was, says Carl Trueman “the ill-fated pawn in the desperate and highly dubious Protestant plot to divert the English succession from Edward VI’s Catholic sister Mary after the young king’s death” (Reformation21 Blog).
Here’s a little preview:
Adoniram Judson
It’s been 200 years since Judson left America to serve as a missionary in Burma. Steve Weaver has a short biographical sketch and a list of resources on his life (Credo Magazine).
In addition, John Piper’s biographical message on Adoniram Judson is available free as a short e-book (Desiring God Blog).

I think I'd like to get the book about Jane Grey for myself! I love her story.
A bunch of John Piper's biographical messages (on Athanasius, Augustine, Simeon, Spurgeon, Brainerd, Mueller, Bunyan, Calvin, Newton, Owen, Edwards, Luther, Cowper, Tyndal, Wilberforce) are available for FREE on Olive Tree's mobile Bible Reader apps).
