50 People Every Christian Should Know: Learning From Spiritual Giants Of The Faith (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
This book by Warren Wiersbe, in my opinion, falls between two stools ... enough detail to raise one's interest but not enough to satisfy one's curiosity! I like my biography detailed, well researched and footnotes! Having said that, it would make for a good holiday read, or something to dip in and out of as time permits.I have read Wiersbe before and enjoyed his writing, and so was expecting a lot more from this book than I got!One of the best bits are the 'Further reading' pages which I will, over time, dip into and select more detailed works! At best a 3-star read! What an incredible book about great preachers and what they brought to the churches and ministered to the peoples hearts! I learned a lot about many preachers I never even knew about. Such great hearts and boldness these people had and how their hearts still live on through others that they have reached in their lives. I am so moved by their lives that mine seems so boring and I have a burning desire for God as well as they do but I wasn't called to minister as them......truly a must read for everyone and I want more about some of these people that I am going to read a bunch more of auto and biographies on these incredible people of God.
