"I really enjoyed learning about the lives of these 50 believers, especially those commendable aspects focused on in the book. For each one, several aspects of their lives that encourage and challenges the reader were covered. It caused me to want to learn more of some of these people. There are other believers that I would have put above a few that were featured, but I enjoyed each one that was included. I would like to see more books of this type that gives similar brief histories of prominent believers from the past."

- I really enjoyed this book, but I am not so sure it is for everyone. Although it is entitled 50 People Every Christian Should know, and in a sense these are people that Christians should know about, with a few exceptions this book is about preachers. And it was written by a preacher seemingly for other preachers. It is heavy (as heavy as these short bios can be) on sermon prep, homoletical technique and ecclesiastical politics. These are the seas I swim in (except for ecclesiastical politics, I am not important enough for that nor am I part of a denomination) so I found this book fascinating and helpful, but I am not sure my wife would have.
For me the best part of the book was the bibliographic information that the author gives on each person discussed, both recommended biographies and recommended works. This book is a great gateway into deeper study of preachers of the past, especially those of 18th & 19th century England. - Wiersbe's books are always inspiring and this one will make you want to go out and do more for Jesus just like the rest of his books will. Particularly this Pastor. As a matter of fact, he could have titled this book (and should have) "Pastors Every Christian Should Know" because that's predominately who this book is about. Not a problem for me because it really helped me to appreciate all the hard working and innovative Pastors who paved the way for us today but generally speaking you may wish Wiersbe had put more missionaries and theologians who made big impacts for the faith in this book as you read it. This book is also a great introduction to the literature these Pastors produced that has been largely forgotten today. If not for those repackaging these older titles now for ebooks we probably wouldn't have them to read and with Wiersbe explaining why they are important we wouldn't have known they had existed. As I read the books he recommended for each person I wondered where this man found all the time to read these books! For that alone you should get this book.
- I enjoyed every profile in this book. It went deep enough to become familiar with the person and their beliefs. It also guided you to considered the spiritual aspects of each person's journey in serving God. I love the list of their writings and have accumulated a lot of titles on my wishlist. It is definitely a book that will make you stop and give consideration to things in your own life. The listing of books after the notes at the back of the book, about and by each person mentioned will be invaluable when I am ready for other things to read. Whatever your beliefs this book has some meat of learning for all.

- Its true every Christian should know about these people of the faith! Very inspiring for your walk with God, it is not an easy road and those in this book can prove that but it's well worth the journey!! Very inspirational!! Anything from Warren is a good book!
- I enjoyed learning about these 50 individuals who were used of God to minister to many and who left indelible marks in the Church for a blessing to us and our generation. May these men and women of God never be forgotten. I highly recommend this book because not only does the author give short biographies but also lists books that many wrote that are still available to us.
- I appreciated Wiersbe's great introductions to these 50 Christian leaders. Each chapter was short enough to hold my interest and he pointed out further reading available by each person. Some of these saints I was already familiar with and others I was pleased to be introduced to. This book gives a glimpse and points you to other resources to find more in-depth information. Every Christian needs to know of the giants who have gone before and brought us to where we are today. This book is inspiring with the stories of sacrifice and faith of those who have paved the way.
- What a great storyteller Wiersbe is! I love reading anything of his, but this was especially good. He makes everything interesting and relevant! I highly recommend this book. I have learned so much!
