I wish it every success in dispelling the myths that plague these godly men and women.” \u003cbr\u003e—Derek W. H.

Richly illustrated, these brief but substantive biographies point us to faithful and fruitful servants. They remind us of our calling to be disciples. They encourage us to press on through trials and suffering. They remind us to be joyful and grateful for all that God has done. Above all, they remind us to keep our eyes fixed on the one Hero, our faithful Lord and Savior.” \u003cbr\u003e—Stephen J.
