Summary: Add this book to your library
Review: This 1988 book compiled by John D. Woodbridge contains 65 mini biographies of Christian leaders that cover the 2,000 years of Church history from Peter to Billy Graham. Each is written by authors including J.I. Packer and D.A. Carson This is not the type of book you have to read from cover to cover. You can pick and choose depending on what your interested in since each entry is for the most part self contained. I do argue with the inclusion of Soren Kierkeaard in this book. Though my favorite philosopher, he does not deserve to be put in the ranks of Luther,Calvin, and Tyndale;Although not the best book I've ever read,if you are intersted in Christian History and wanta biography of a great Christian leader that will only take a matter of minutes, this is the book to get.
