To read more about any of the Christians below, please click on their image. you can then move back and forth via the post links below each article or return to searching with links in the header and footer. The order has a bit of theology embedded in it. We choose with the birth day or year of the person, not their death day. We understand that God knit us together and called us well before we returned a call to him, that he knew us even when we didn’t fully know him. We trust the multiple ways to search will alleviate any misgivings you might find in the order.
