This book charts the stories of ten boys who grew up to become successful men.
What can you do for God?
These ten boys grew up to become successful men. The two things they have in common is that they all put to good use the talents and gifts they had, and they all believed that God had given them to be used.

It's a wonderful series. Irene Howat writes with a real warmth and insight. People that you have never met come alive on the page. Christian legends and unsung heroes all become friends you can understand and look up to. In a world where role models of real integrity are few and far between the Lightkeeper's series fills the gap!
Reading this with my 10-year-old son. He loves the stories but more than this we have some great discussions about Christian men from the past, and how God used them. I'm going to buy the rest in the series!
