I really enjoyed reading these mini biographies of great people. I found it inspiring to glimpse briefly into their lives and their historic struggles. I didn't necessarily agree with the author's application of their stories.

I wanted to read this book, because I thought Brown was an inspirational public speaker and figure. Well, I was a little disappointed. If at times Brown's writing can be a little trite and redundant, at least the brilliance of these historical portraits carries the day. The book is well worth a read for its range of history and biography.
I love Gordon. And even though he's writing about other people, it's still a great insight into him - the way he thinks, the things he values. You can learn a lot from someone by what they think of others.
