ENDORSEMENTS

They have spoken

“This is a book to read, to read aloud to others, and then read again. In a day when children are growing up stunted because of our diet of empty-headed celebrities and contemptible villains, true heroism and manliness needs special nourishment. Eric Metaxas has done it again, and again we are in his debt.”

THE 7 MEN

LEARN THE SECRETS OF THEIR GREATNESS

And they help answer the single question that every man asks at one time or another, whether implicitly or explicitly: How can I be great in my own life?
