About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Reading about all these great people of God - their sacrifices, trials and wonderful accomplishments is nothing short of inspiring. Finishing this book was a little akin to saying "goodbye for now" to a good friend. Well researched. Ample referrals and recommended reading. Definitely worth having. I will doubtless go back to the book - if only to find some of the recommendations for further reading.

This is an extremely helpful, encouraging, and overall wonderful book! I am extremely grateful to the Lord for allowing us to enjoy such stories today! Thanks a bunch!

Wonderfully written. Inspiring stories from inspired individuals.
