These Are My People by Mildred Howard

"Somehow, some way, I know the Lord wants me in China," Gladys Aylward wrote. But how was she ever going to get there? She was thirty years old and still a parlour maid. She had no education, no money, and no mission board to send her.
Set against the background of war between Japan and China during the 1930s, THESE ARE MY PEOPLE is the true story of how God led Gladys Aylward from the cold, foggy streets of London to the bleak mountain ranges of the Shanshi province. Her steadfast faith touched Chinese hearts from all walks of life; her nursing skill saved the lives of many war-stricken Chinese; and her compassion led her to provide a home for hundreds of Chinese children.

The Morning Star of the Reformation by Andy Thomson

When young John of Wycliffe arrives at Oxford University, he finds it a fascinating and perilous place. With his friend, Sebastian Ayleton, John experiences the terrible plague called the "Pestilence" (the Black Death), and he becomes involved in clashes between university factions as well as riots among the townspeople. Whenever he can find time away from his studies, John's favourite place is the inn of the Kicking Pony. There he and his companions discuss the political and religious issues of the day, and it is with his friends that he first shares his growing vision of an English Bible for all Englishmen to read. In the darkness of medieval England, John's pursuit of truth gleams like a solitary star: the morning star that promises the sunrise to come. He paved the way for the theologians of the next century and opened hearts in preparation for the great Reformation itself.

A fictionalized biography of John Wycliffe (1328–84) who pursued his vision of translating an English Bible for the common man.
