This slim volume collects 25 small biographic sketches Shepherd wrote for Fellowship Magazine. Here are some of the people you’ll encounter:
- Francis of Assisi
- John Bunyan
- Charles Wesley
- Karl Barth
- C. S. Lewis
- Jacques Ellul
Theses profiles are no bed-time story fare. They’re realistic and, at times, downright uncomfortable. If you’re looking to be challenged towards deeper waters of discipleship (and you can find a second-hand copy somewhere), this is a moving book.
