The Old Testament contains numerous fascinating stories of forgotten lives---unsung heroes whose actions, sacrifices, or battles failed to ascribe them worldly renown. These great lives, however, reveal significant people whom God honors in the pages of His Word and, therefore, deserve our serious attention and emulation.

In this eighth volume of the Great Lives from God's Word series, Swindoll examines little-remembered Bible characters and events. He'll help you discover biblical principles and practical applications for living so that you can be who you are in God's estimation ... a person of true significance.

Sooner or later, you'll go through times of suffering and heartache, and the ancient story of Job offers timeless truth if you'll listen. In this illuminating study of Job's life, Swindoll, in his trademark warm and insightful style, helps you understand the key to developing heroic endurance.

Best selling author Charles Swindoll explores the many facets of Paul's complex and compelling life. He writes "Throughout our lives we naturally adopted a Christianized mental image of the apostle Paul. Based on his writings of Scripture, we may think he loved the Savior from birth. Not even close! He hated the name of Jesus. And shocking though it may seem, we must never forget the pit from which he came. The better we understand the darkness of his past, the more we will understand his gratitude for grace."

Author Chuck Swindoll interweaves an ancient, real-life story with insight not only into the virtues of Queen Esther, but into how the qualities that formed her and empowered her can be ours.
