What do George Whitefield, Elisabeth Elliot, and J. Gresham Machen have in common? They were all Evangelical Heroes. In Evangelical Heroes, Joel Beeke and Douglas Bond present thirty biographical sketches of faithful evangelical leaders from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. From George Whitfield to Charles Spurgeon to R.C. Sproul, these men and women held firm to the authority of Scripture and the reality of Christ's death and resurrection in the face of rising liberalism in the Church. With vibrant imagery and study questions, these inspiring volumes introduce us to faithful Christians from the past, including: • Charles Wesley (1707–1788) • George Whitefield (1714–1770) • Samuel Davies (1723–1761) • John Newton (1725–1807) • Lemuel Haynes (1753–1833) • Andrew Fuller (1754–1815) • Mary Winslow (1774–1854) • John Charles Ryle (1816–1900) • Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) • Amy Beatrice Carmichael (1867–1951) • John Gresham Machen (1881–1937) • Corrie ten Boom (1892–1983) • Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899–1981) • Jim (1927–1956) and Elisabeth (1926–2015) Elliot • R. C. Sproul (1939–2017) • And more! Find encouragement from the past to stand firm today in Evangelical Heroes! Joel R.
