This book is well written and a concise sketch of 14 outstanding humans, examples for us today in displaying character, passion, knowledge and perseverance. Historical, informational, inspirational
A book I will reread which is saying a lot for me because I hardly ever reread books. The author writes in a way that makes it easy to understand but also interesting so you want to keep reading to see how things go. Some of the men and women in this book I had never heard of before but after learning about their stories i found myself wanting to dig in deeper to learn even more about them. I will be reading more books by this author because his research and the way he writes is 10/10 in my opti

I enjoy biographies because I often gain new heroes to emulate. Some of these 14 bios were better than others--better meaning that the author rambled less, and allowed the subject of the bio to sparkle more. My favorites were the ones on Eric Liddell--it's no coincidence that Chariots of Fire is one of my top three favorite movies--and Mother Teresa, one of the first faces in the news I remember recognizing as a child; both of their stories were simple breathtaking.

Happy I read it. Learned about people I had never heard of before. Relatively quick read. Not boring. The author’s style is not the best but this is a biography book so doesn’t matter as much as other types of books.
I enjoyed this book(s). They helped me know more about a few people that I didn’t really know. I enjoy the style of the writer. A few other biographies I’ve read were not as straight forward and moved around. He stays on target and helps you get to know a person from birth to death.
This is a wonderful glimpse into the the lives of fourteen extraordinary people whose lives changed the world. Quick and easy to read, it wets the apatite for a deeper plunge into more of Metaxas' writings. This was, ironically, the seventh book I completed in 2021.
