SEVEN MEN And the Secret of Their Greatness

What do President George Washington, baseball legend Jackie Robinson, Pope John Paul II, abolitionist William Wilberforce, missionary Eric Liddell, and Nixon conspirator Charles Colson have in common? Writer Eric Metaxas believes all seven men were great and credits their faith in God for their success. This is surprising in the case of Colson, who found religion after his conviction for his part in the Watergate scandal. Narrator Tom Parks gives voice to Metaxas's beliefs in this strongly Christian book about the importance of faith in the historical world and today. Parks sounds earnest and sincere as he recounts the lives of the men and the religious epiphanies that changed their lives. His delivery is straightforward, even when the message sounds like it's coming from a pulpit. M.S. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2013]
