In Seven Men, New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas presents seven exquisitely crafted short portraits of widely known—but not well understood—Christian men, each of whom uniquely showcases a commitment to live by certain virtues in the truth of the gospel. Written in a beautiful and engaging style, Seven Men addresses what it means (or should mean) to be a man today, at a time when media and popular culture present images of masculinity that are not the picture presented in Scripture and historic civil life. This book answers questions like: What does it take to be a true exemplar as a father, brother, husband, leader, coach, counselor, change agent, and wise man? What does it mean to stand for honesty, courage, and charity? And how can you stand especially at times when the culture and the world run counter to those values? Each of the seven biographies represents the life of a man who experienced the struggles and challenges to be strong in the face of forces and circumstances that would have destroyed the resolve of lesser men. Each of the seven men profiled—George Washington, William Wilberforce, Eric Liddell, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jackie Robinson, John Paul II, and Charles Colson—call the reader to a more elevated walk and lifestyle, one that embodies the gospel in the world around us.

Excerpt from A Study of Greatness in Men There is no other writer who charms and irritates, stimulates and disappoints me so often and so equally as Carlyle, in what he has written personally of men. Nobody has ever glorified the human spirit by loftier conceptions of God-likeness in it than his. He held with Saint Chrysostom, that "the true Shekinah, or visible revelation of God, is Man." He felt, as Novalis expressed his feeling, that "there is but one Temple in the Universe, and that is the body of man." "We," he exclaimed, "are the miracle of miracles - the great inscrutable mystery of God." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
