Review Quotes: "As a lover of rich and readable biography, I thank God for this explosion of inspiration."
John Piper
R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"These ten compelling biographies will stir your soul ten times over, inspiring you to pray, give, and if called, go for the sake of the gospel."
C. J. Mahaney, president, Sovereign Grace Ministries
"It is rare that a book has such a profound impact upon my life that I leave its reading with a certainty that I have known the nudge of God. But when I finished Ten Who Changed the World, I found myself near the point of tears. Above all, I came away pleading with Him to take my wretched life and shape it that I might be used, even if only slightly, like these heroes of the faith."
Thom S. Rainer, president and CEO, LifeWay Christian Resources
