| Stories Behind Men of Faith | By Ace Collins
Meet men whose living faith made a difference.
Stories Behind Men of Faith uncovers the turning points, the influences, and the surprising twists in the lives of sixteen remarkable men who inspired millions. What sets them apart is that they took their faith into the world and made a real difference. They did not plan on becoming icons of faith. They just answered God's call on their lives. And they'll inspire you to do the same.
Men you'll meet from varied backgrounds, careers, cultures, and eras include:
- Bono - a rock star whose rough edges can't hide his Christian conviction.
- George Washington Carver - a former slave and scientist who created revolutionary products from simple plants.
- Fred Rogers - a gentle television icon who touched millions of children.
- Jim Valvano - a great basketball coach and an inspiration to cancer victims.
- Nicholas of Myra - a courageous early-church bishop whose example of giving was reborn in the man we call Santa Claus.
- William Carey - the father of the missionary movement.
- Branch Rickey - a man who helped integrate major league baseball and became a founding member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
If there is one thing that Stories Behind Men of Faith proves, it is that each person has a unique calling in life and can make a real difference wherever he is. May you be inspired to become the man of faith God intends you to be.
