Heroes: The Titans of History

by Christopher R. Mattix

Ask any Christian scholar and they will staunchly assert that Church History is an absolutely must-know for all believers. Yet secretly, most of us feel daunted by the sheer size of the volumes and the seemingly unending mass of information. What if there was a short, easy-to-read and surprisingly inspirational introduction available? Well, "Heroes" may well be your much needed introduction! Instead of focusing a seemingly unending list of dates, names and excruciatingly boring information overload, Christopher's makes Church History both "bite size" and exciting (for all ages)! "Heroes" tells the good, the bad and the shocking about eight of the most foundational personalities in Church History, while focusing specifically on making it both inspirational and applicable to daily life. Here's the back "With each passing day, the world seems ever more inundated by corrupt leaders, violence in the streets and whispers of war. We are taught licentiousness in schools and on TV, as we see a growing number of broken families and so many Christians being content with mediocrity. Where are the men and women of valor and truth? Where are the heroes full of faith and passion for Jesus? 'Heroes' is a compilation of inspirational biographies based on eight of the most transformative figures in Church History, true titans of the faith. Among them, we will see the shocking courage of Polycarp of Smyrna, the power of grace which transformed Augustine of Hippo, the immovable faith of Martin Luther and the unstoppable fervor for lost souls of George Whitefield. Our world is in desperate need of heroes to rise up for Jesus, with their eyes centered on the glories of eternity. And you, are you willing to be one of them?" Aside from the names on the back cover, it also includes the likes of Athanasius of Alexandria, Francis of Assisi, William Tyndale and George Muller. This book was originally published in Spanish as "Hé Titanes de la historia" and is also available here on Amazon, along with Christopher's other books.

[Steve Francis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Matrix does an excellent job presenting those who have stood for Christ in the most difficult for times and circumstances. Well worth reading!

All too often history books show the bias of the author. And religious history can be steeped in doctrinal prejudices. This book has neither. The author presented objective snapshots of some truly great men in an unvarnished light. It made these great men all the more great to see some of the human frailties they possessed. I like the selection and the inclusion of historical sidelights. I learned a lot about men I sort of knew or knew of. I would recommend this book to anyone looking back at men of faith and how God raised them to greatness.
