The Protestant Reformation, a transformative period spanning from 1600 to 1890, left an indelible mark on the Christian world, ushering in a new era of missionary outreach and expansion. The Church, driven by a renewed sense of purpose, embarked on a mission to bring the hope of the Gospel to regions previously untouched by Christianity. This period witnessed an extraordinary surge in the Church's global influence, with leaders like Harry Hosier, William Wilberforce, Emilie Mallet, and Sojourner Truth standing up against wrongdoing and injustice. Alongside them, figures such as Cyril Lucaris, John Owen, John Bunyan, and David Brainerd dedicated their lives to faithfully sharing the message of Christ. The rise of great preachers like Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, and Charles Spurgeon further amplified the Gospel's reach, captivating audiences with their passionate communication. God also stirred the hearts of missionaries like Robert Moffat, Hudson Taylor, and Dwight Moody, who tirelessly offered hope in Christ to those who were lost in spiritual darkness.

As a result of these efforts, the Church expanded its reach to previously unreached lands, bringing glory to the Lord and witnessing the transformation of countless lives. The Risen Hope series, a narrative-driven history of the Church, aims to introduce key figures and events from the last two thousand years. Written in an engaging and captivating style, the series replaces the out-of-print History Lives series and provides readers with a deeper understanding of the Church's rich heritage and ongoing mission.
