“God often uses nobodies from nowhere with nothing to offer but a fully surrendered heart to Him and uses them to change the world. Metaxas once again magically and masterfully illustrates God’s guiding hand in the lives of seemingly ordinary men to produce great men who use their gifts and opportunities to bring glory to God and serve their fellow man.
This book will deeply inspire you to diligently serve God with all your heart no matter your life’s current circumstances, knowing that He “knows the plans He has for you.”
—Kirk Cameron, actor and producer

Eric Metaxas has done it again. In SEVEN MORE MEN he has given us yet another masterpiece from a master biographer. You will laugh and you will cry as you read this amazing book. Above all, it is a page turner. I was so deeply impacted by Eric’s first biographical book, Amazing Grace — so much so that I can verbatim retell the details of William Wilberforce struggles to single handedly abolish slavery. This book is a must read for young and old alike; I am giving it to my grandchildren.

Great biographers do more than relay the facts of history; they acquaint us with its authors and inspire us to emulate. In SEVEN MORE MEN, Eric Metaxas uses seven short biographies and five-hundred years as thread and canvas to produce a magnificent tapestry to not only inform your mind but inspire your heart. These unvarnished stories of faithful endurance, unwavering hope, and costly love are a must-read for our generation.
—Christopher Yuan, DMin, speaker, Bible professor, co-author of Out of a Far Country, and author of Holy Sexuality and the Gospel
“Another essential collection of people, used by God to change the world, whose stories we need to know. Eric’s ability to uncover little known details while also situating his subjects into the larger contexts where they belong is on full display here. I hope he keeps these “Seven” books coming!”
