12 Faithful Men by Collin Hansen and Jeff Robinson, EDS.

Becoming a Christian doesn't mean that all of our suffering will disappear. The Bible says that we will experience suffering, but the good news is that God will never leave us or forsake us. Suffering is the common theme found in the lives of all the important men that are featured in this inspiring book. However, these men used their trials for good and as a result, they all have incredible testimonies that touch the lives of others. I had heard of several of the men in this book such as Charles Spurgeon, the disciple Paul, and John Calvin, but others such as Wang Ming-Dao and Janani Luwum were new to me. The 12 men in this book were all pastors and spent their lives reaching souls for Christ. Some of them experienced illness, loss, imprisonment, and untimely death. Their stories are an inspiration to the world. Without these men and their work for Christ, where would we be? I really enjoyed reading about these special leaders and I learned so much about them. I know when they entered the gates of heaven, God said to them, "Well done, my good and faithful servant!" Thank you so much to BakerBooks for the chance to review this book!
