John MacArthur never ceases to amaze me with his knowledge of the Bible. This book is a study through several men and women of the Bible who were known for their great faith. MacArthur says it best in the last chapter as he says "Nothing is more encouraging than the successful example of someone who has gone before us. Because they have done it, they serve to motivate us to run like they did". That quote is exactly what this book did for me: motivated and encouraged!

Learning faith from the biblical character. As expected from expositor, the author was good at digging the background of each character and show us how their faith evolved or used in their works. I learn many things from this book.

A few doctrinal issues aside regarding baptism, it was a pretty decent book providing examples of faith from about 13 people from the Bible.
