We all need inspiration to lead lives that honor God. When our faith is weak or the pressures of the world seem overwhelming, remembering the great men and women of the past can inspire us to renewed strength and purpose. Our spiritual struggles are not new, and the stories of those who have gone before can help lead the way to our own victories.

Combining the stories of 50 of these faithful men and women, beloved author Warren W. Wiersbe offers you insight and encouragement for life's uncertain journey.

Informative & Intriguing

There was a lot of information here. A lot of the people I didn't even know. I was grateful to get to hear some life stories of men and women who love the LORD and were sold out for HIM.

Excellent survey of 50 People God raised up for Ministry

Warren does a good job of providing a concise but informative picture of each persons upbringing, spiritual moment, and acomplishments . James Lewis was a great choice for reading. My only disappointment is that not having the hard copy, I have to listen repeatedly to find the spot where Warren makes recommendation of which books to start reading by one of the 50. Quote tedious. Once case where hard copy is superior.

Great idea for a book!

In my experience, as a follower of Jesus Christ , it’s good practice to study the lives of notable Christians of times past and learn from them. This book had many Christians that I’ve heard about but also had plenty of ones I’ve never heard of before. Great book and the narrator had a wholesome and comfortable voice too.

Informative

Learned tons about people I was not aware of in church history. However, the time frame is quite particular (1800s). It seems like there was way too much emphasis on people from the 19th century. Nonetheless, enjoyed the learning and the primary resource suggestions in every chapter.

Not impressed

Seemed tied to Moody too much. Some references were good but much of this seemed geared toward Pastors, not your average Christian.

Good but long…

I enjoyed this audiobook but it was long. The reader helped me make it through. I discovered a lot of Christians I had never heard of before.
