Evangelical Heroes Vol. 1 & 2
Description
What does it mean to be “evangelical?” 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.

Endorsements
“Their assumption of heroism is rare in an age of cynicism. Joel Beeke and Doug Bond don’t dwell on weaknesses compulsively but see true heroism coming out of a close walk with the Lord.”
—Russ Pulliam, Indianapolis Star
“It is a joy, then, to introduce this two-volume set of evangelical heroes by Joel Beeke and Douglas Bond. Like the biblical heroes, these are flawed men and women. But like the men and women in Scripture, their lives are on record for us to see what is possible in the walk of faith and, like them, (to paraphrase the words of one of my heroes, William Carey) to ‘expect great things from God and to attempt great things for Him.’”
—Michael A. G. Haykin, from the foreword
Endorsements “A masterful summary of the pick of the Puritans, introducing a new generation to a gospel-centered, life-embracing, family-oriented people, and—yes—people who enjoyed life instead of the dour, sour, and twisted folk that a hundred years of prejudicial narratives have made them out to be. I wish it every success in dispelling the myths that plague these godly men and women.”
—Derek W.H. Thomas
“How refreshing it is to step into the past. We need perspective and we need heroes. This book provides both. Richly illustrated, these brief but substantive biographies point us to faithful and fruitful servants. They remind us of our calling to be disciples. They encourage us to press on through trials and suffering. They remind us to be joyful and grateful for all that God has done. Above all, they remind us to keep our eyes fixed on the one Hero, our faithful Lord and Savior.”
—Stephen J. Nichols, president, Reformation Bible College, and chief academic officer, Ligonier Ministries
Endorsement "I hope this book will help awaken youth in America to the vital truths set forth so clearly and boldly by the historic heroes of the Reformation."
—Dr. R.C. Sproul
