Christians in the twenty-first century need encouragement and inspiration to lead lives that honor God. When 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 us can help lead the way to our own victories.
50 People Every Christian Should Know gives a glimpse into the lives of such people as Charles H. Spurgeon, G. Campbell Morgan, A. W. Tozer, Fanny Crosby, Amy Carmichael, Jonathan Edwards, James Hudson Taylor, and many more. Combining the stories of fifty of these faithful men and women, beloved author Warren W. Wiersbe offers today's readers inspiration and encouragement in life's uncertain journey.
About the Author:
American pastor (Moody Church in Chicago 1971-78 before Erwin Lutzer, Calvary Baptist Church in Covington KY 1961-71), Bible teacher, conference speaker, radio minister (Back to the Bible), and prolific author. He is best known for his extensive “Be” Bible commentary series and numerous other theological works.
In May 1945, just before his sixteenth birthday, Wiersbe volunteered as an usher at a Youth for Christ rally. Standing transfixed at the back of his high school auditorium, Wiersbe recalled his heart being captivated as he listened to the message of salvation preached by 26-year-old evangelist Billy Graham. That night, Wiersbe responded to God’s call, committing his life to Jesus Christ. Many years later, Billy Graham would call Weirsbe “one of the greatest Bible expositors of our generation” (www.moodybible.org/news/global/2019/warren-wiersbe/, accessed 4/6/23).
