‘CT Studd – From Cricket to Christ’ by David Luckman

Friday July 11th 2025

David Luckman, Church Planter at Hilden Community Church in Lisburn, has just published his latest book in the Trail Blazers series of Christian Focus Publications entitled CT Studd – From Cricket to Christ.

In Victorian England, cricket champion CT Studd shocked society by giving away his vast fortune to become a missionary. Rather than live a life of luxury, he chose to face cannibals, disease, and danger in China, India, and Africa.

With his brave wife Priscilla by his side, CT’s incredible adventures and unwavering faith would transform countless lives across three continents. He devoted his whole life to serving Jesus, no matter what the cost, trusting God to provide for his every need along the way.

His legacy continues in the work of WEC International and other missionary organisations today. This action-packed biography shows how God uses the radical obedience of his followers to change the world.

David says: “This little book about CT Studd is perfect for anyone who loves amazing true stories of courage, faith, and adventure in far-off places.”

In the Trail Blazers series, David Luckman has written: Jack Turner – Truth in the Arctic; Thomas Cranmer – The King’s Ambassador; Polycarp – Faithful Unto Death; John Wycliffe – According to the Word; and John and Charles Wesley – Two Brothers, One Faith.

David Luckman is the author of Adventures in Acts, which is a two-volume set that depicts the exciting adventures of the Early Church, as found in the Acts of the Apostles, for children aged 7-11. Adventures in the Gospels is due for release in November 2025.

Copies of CT Studd – From Cricket to Christ can be bought directly from Christian Focus Publications, in any Christian bookshop, or online at Amazon.
