“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.” – Philippians 3:10

A Snapshot of the Life of Nicholas L. von Zinzendorf:

Born: May 26, 1700, in Dresden, Germany
Died: May 9, 1760, in Herrnhut, Germany

Founder of the Moravian Church and of Bethlehem, PA in 1741 which became its American headquarters. Zinzendorf married Countess Erdmuth Dorothea von Reuss on September 7, 1722, and they had at least one daughter. He later married Anna Nitschmann in June, 1757. He left politics (Saxon civil service since 1721) in 1727, and devoted himself to his growing Herrnhut (The Lord’s Shelter) community on his estate which grew into the Moravian Brethren (originally Bohemian Brethren).

Over the years, I’ve managed to collect a decent little stack of these books.

Certainly not skyscraper-sized, but a respectable little office building-size, maybe.

And every single one of these books that we’ve managed to fit in between all the other curriculum we bounce around in have been real winners for both me and my children.

Recently, we pulled out one of these books to read about a very obscure Christian leader whom I had never heard of named Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf. I think that is one of the most refreshing aspects of these books. They don’t just cover the stories of all the famous missionaries and heroes of the faith we’ve all heard of, but they introduce us to new names that Christian history has forgotten.

How wonderful that these heroes of the faith can be remembered and put forth to our children as examples of lives well-lived
