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.

Endorsement 

“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
