Seven Men by Eric Metaxas

This book is filled with seven short biographies of seven men who show what greatness really means.  In these biographies Eric Metaxas showcases how giving up something is what it means to be great.  Each story is a different type of sacrifice, but each person had to give up something and in doing so showed themselves to be great men.

These are small biographies, not meant to tell the whole story but instead to give you a taste of their lives and focus on one aspect.  When reading a biography you might want to known more and then you can go read a full length biography about that person.

Eric Metaxas is a fantastic author.  He writes smoothly and draws you into the lives of these men as if he was walking beside you and telling you these exploits and adventures of these great men and their sacrifices.

I recommend this book.

I received this book from BookLook Bloggers in exchange for my honest review.
