Excerpt
Heroes
One greatly regarded for his achievements or qualities; men and women who are admired for their brave or noble deeds.
Hero. The very mention of the word conjures up images of larger than life personalities, hearty souls who never backed down from danger.
No mountain is too high, no foe too fierce for them. Others run away, ordinary human beings like you and me, but heroes stand their ground.
They refuse to surrender even in the face of impossible odds. History is filled with true heroes. Lewis and Clark overcame rivers,
mountains, record cold, and hunger to cross an unexplored continent. Winston Churchill rallied a nation and a world against the Nazi
war machine and emerged victorious. Neil Armstrong did what men dreamed of since the beginning of time as he stepped on the surface of the moon.
Amelia Eirhart, Luck Lindy, the Babe, all were heroes, larger than life personalities, fearless individuals who did the impossible.
When we begin to explore the lives of the heroes of the Bible the picture becomes even more impressive. Throw in the dimension of faith and we find
not just heroes but superheroes, world changers, miracle workers. Men like Moses and David did more than heroic deeds, God performed the supernatural
through them. Just think of the feats of the heroes of the faith. Some slew giants, others defeated kingdoms with nothing more than a shepherd’s staff.
Rivers and seas parted, fire fell from the sky, horrible diseases disappeared, all at the hands of men and women filled with the power of God.

From the Author
The story of "Heroes" really picks up after it was published. The book itself came about when Moody Publishers asked me to
write a book exploring the lives of the people listed in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. The book was the fourth in their Names of God
series. A couple of years after it came out Portavoz Publishers purchased the rights to publish a Spanish edition. About the time
the Spanish edition came out, Word of Life, Korea purchased the Korean rights. Finally, in 2002 Yayasan Andi published an Indonesian
version. Click the thumbnails above to see other editions of Names of Heroes of the Faith. At times I step back and marvel that
God would take what came out of our time together in the quiet of my study in a small Indiana town and send it around the world.
