Media Reviews

This delightful book meets this need. You may read it through completely, or simply dip into it reading a chapter or two when you want to be inspired by a history treat, or you may read a specific chapter on someone in whom you are interested in knowing more about.

-- Ajith Fernando

Readers will be moved to faithful obedience to Christ as they read the accounts.

-- Dennis P. Hollinger

I commend this wonderful book to the Church with a prayer: read it slowly, carefully, and prayerfully before bed and let the faithfulness of God quiet your heart, calm your soul, and seal your sleep with a lamp of faithfulness that will cause you to dream dreams and have visions of how God's Word will change your life.

-- Michael A. Milton

I'm halfway through Peter Barnes' A Lamp unto my Feet and want to commend him for writing it, and you for publishing it. An outstanding and very helpful work.

-- David Robb

These delightful sketches of Christian leaders remind us that Scripture shapes lives in many varied and rich ways.

-- Peter Sanlon
