    Hero For Christ presents a fresh, current perspective on Christianity, focused around a message of social justice, issues of poverty, the development of personal talents, and the care and protection of the environment, all as drawn directly from the words of Jesus. The book also combines devotional readings with biographical sketches of notable Christians from all parts of the world. It has drawn praise from figures as diverse as Reverend Jim Ball of the Evangelical Environmental Network, Reverend Luis Cortes of Esperanza USA, who called it “a great resource for devotional and reflective reading,” and Timothy Neal of Existential Christianity, who described it as “a gateway into the lives and minds of amazing people who sought to imitate Jesus.”

    Author Christopher Sunami is the Director of Youth Ministries at the Church For All People, where he also heads the “All People Arts” program providing free vocal and instrumental lessons to members of the community.
