This book was very inspirational, filled with many examples of men who exhibited courage, perseverance, and character in the midst of daunting, and sometimes, painful circumstances.

This is a wonderful little book with true stories that really do inspire the reader. Short enough to keep young children's attention, but not lacking interesting details.

Anything published by lamplighter is going to to good. All their literature is charater building while most literature today is character destroying. this book will challenge you to redeem the time. It is amazing to read what some people accomplished with their life.
