Description

From The Publisher:

William LaSor introduces over 30 Bible personalities along with their backgrounds, their strengths and their weaknesses. Through them, the origin and nature of the Christian faith — its claims and values — become meaningful and real to the reader of today. Through identification with these men and women comes the revelation that God works in similar ways today...that He is a personal God and deals directly with people.

Careful attention is given to historical facts, revealed by modern archaeological research and from a broad knowledge of ancient literature. An extremely helpful volume for pastors, students, Bible teachers and those wanting a clearer understanding of the Bible.
