Seven Men: And the Secret of Their Greatness

Inspiring. Interesting. Engaging. Historical.

Metaxas stunned the Christian world with his authoritative and inspired biography of Bonhoeffer. His award-winning best-seller is a "game changer". 7 MEN is a great read about seven amazing Christian men. All of them persevered under pressure, all of their lives were marked with favor and grace from God, all of them serve as powerful examples for today. Having been in prison ministry for many years, I knew of Charles Colson's conversion and work with Prison Fellowship. But I didn't know how completely the Lord had changed his life. Bonhoeffer and Wilberforce and Washington were already personal favorites of mine, but I didn't know the "back stories" of the other characters. Metaxas combines historical facts with unknown aspects of their faith to weave interesting tales throughout. 7 men is a testimony to God's faithfulness, His amazing grace and His ability to use everything for our good. Wonderful examples, these. Read more
