Trade ReviewThis delightful book meets this need. You may read it through completely, or simply dip into it reading a chapter or two when you want to be inspired by a "history treat," or you may read a specific chapter on someone in whom you are interested in knowing more about.
-- Ajith Fernando (Teaching Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka )
Readers will be moved to faithful obedience to Christ as they read the accounts.
-- Dennis P. Hollinger (President and Colman M. Mockler Distinguished Professor of Christian Ethics, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, South Hamilton, Massachusetts)
I'm halfway through Peter Barnes' A Lamp unto my Feet and want to commend him for writing it, and you for publishing it. An outstanding and very helpful work.
-- David Robb
These delightful sketches of Christian leaders remind us that Scripture shapes lives in many varied and rich ways.
-- Peter Sanlon
I commend this wonderful book to the Church with a prayer: read it slowly, carefully, and prayerfully before bed and let the faithfulness of God quiet your heart, calm your soul, and seal your sleep with a lamp of faithfulness that will cause you to dream dreams and have visions of how God's Word will change your life.
-- Michael A. Milton
