Reviews

'Written by one of the most respected biblical teachers of the last century, this book gives pastors great overviews of 63 biblical characters -- from the most prominent to minor ones. For each character, Wiersbe isolates one key sentence that defines the person and centers his exposition on the characters around it. It'll be a nice resource to look at whenever you study or preach about particular people from the Bible.' * Rick Warren's Ministry Toolbox *
