Evangelical Heroes, 2 Vols. (Beeke, Joel R. & Bond, Douglas)

Description

What does it mean to be “evangelical?” In Evangelical Heroes, Joel Beeke and Douglas Bond present thirty biographical sketches of faithful evangelical leaders from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. From George Whitfield to Charles Spurgeon to R.C. Sproul, these men and women held firm to the authority of Scripture and the reality of Christ's death and resurrection in the face of rising liberalism in the Church.

Endorsements

“Biographies of noted Christian men and women are a great encouragement and inspiration. I have found that the accounts of their lives are highly devotional, as they point us to God and His word. That is why I am excited for this first of two volumes, Evangelical Heroes. Joel Beeke and Douglas Bond are well-studied in the lives of these influential figures whom God used mightily in centuries past. I believe these life stories will spur you on in your Christian life.”
