Evangelical Heroes: Volume 1

by Joel R. Beeke, Helen Langford (Narrator), Tim H. Dixon (Narrator)

What do George Whitefield, Elisabeth Elliot, and J. Gresham Machen have in common? They were all Evangelical Heroes. 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. With vibrant imagery and study questions, these inspiring volumes introduce us to faithful Christians from the past,
