It's the case with every great man in history that we don't know how he became great. They all seem to explode in popularity by something great they did at their mid-age. But how? What shaped their character? What paved the way for them to rise into such a position that we still read about them centuries after their death?
This book answers these questions about many notable figures. It's a collection of religious texts that inspired men to make history.
“Here, then, was the man; what was the text that made him?”
Here is the verse that was the turning point in Thomas Chalmers' life, that made him rise from a minister in a small town to being called “Scotland's greatest nineteenth-century churchman.”
The text which Martin Luther discovered at young age which inspired his vision and drove his ambition.
The literature that inspired Sir John Franklin to conquer the seas and be a great explorer of the Arctic.
And many more.
If only one of these texts was able to motivate all those great men, what would reading all of them do to you?
“Of the books that have played the greatest role in molding me, I count many volumes by especially one writer: F. W. Boreham.”
~Ravi Zacharias, Christian author
