I thoroughly enjoyed this
book. I know when I saw the title, I immediately
thought of the twelve disciples, until I remembered one wasn’t much of a
hero. Then I assumed that the apostle
Paul would be included. I was surprised
and happy to see the diversity of people that the author chose to celebrate as
heroes. In each section of the book, I
was able to see an in depth look at the men and women who God used to do great
things - even the individuals that tried their hardest not to be heroes when
called to.
Some of the chapters are
dedicated to people you would assume are heroes, like John the Baptist. Then you come across Onesimus and Mark and
realize that there were more heroes than you actually had thought about. The book was extremely well written, very
engaging and I definitely learned much of the detail of the lives discussed
that I did not know. I would absolutely
recommend this book for anyone who likes to delve into the details past what
you may be able to pick up reading the Bible on your own.
Having read this book, I am
looking forward to reading more from this author.
