Praise forSeven More Men:

"God often uses nobodies from nowhere with nothing to offer but hearts fully surrendered to him and uses them to change the world. Metaxas once again magically and masterfully illustrates God's guiding hand in the lives of seemingly ordinary men to produce great men who use their gifts and opportunities to bring glory to God and to serve others. This book will deeply inspire you to diligently serve God with all your heart, no matter your life's current circumstances, knowing that he knows the plans he has for you."

--Kirk Cameron, actor and producer

"Great biographers do more than relay the facts of history; they acquaint us with its authors and inspire us to emulate them. InSeven More Men, Eric Metaxas uses seven short biographies and five hundred years as thread and canvas to produce a magnificent tapestry to not only inform your mind but inspire your heart. These unvarnished stories of faithful endurance, unwavering hope, and costly love are a must-read for our generation."

--Christopher Yuan, speaker, Bible professor, and coauthor ofOut of a Far Country
