The author takes us on a trip through the lives of forty different Biblical people. He starts with some of the disciples and continues to other important people. I found his description of Thomas, also known as “Doubting Thomas” funny. He said that Thomas was a worrier. It was pointed out that he was so connected to Christ that he would rather die with him than be apart from him. The author compared him to “Eeyore” from the “Winnie the Pooh” book. He speaks of Abraham’s wife Sarah as an example of what happens when we try to take matters into our own hands. It never works out right. Rahab is an example of how God reaches down to the lowest of the low. I was surprised by how many women he spoke about. This is a wonderful book that can be applied to all of our lives. ( )
