Biographies provide unique insight into a individual’s life. They can provide great encouragement and challenge to the reader as well. Sometimes a biography is of someone still living that allows you to simply look further into their life. However, sometimes (and often my favorite type) a biography is written about someone who is no longer living. In those cases, many times, we are able to not only get a deeper look into the individual life but also the time in which he/she lived. I would like to recommend a few different biographies. You will notice that a couple of these are compilation-type books but none the less they are quite good. These books are in no particular order.
- Unbroken (Laura Hillenbrand) – Story of Louis Zamperini
- For the Glory (Duncan Hamilton) – Story of Eric Liddel
- The Life of Martyn Lloyd-Jones (Iain H. Murray)
- Richard Baxter and Conversion (Timothy Beougher)
- Jonathan Edwards (Stephen Nichols)
- Portrait of Calvin (T.H.L. Parker)
- 10 Who Changed the World (Daniel Akin)
- Victorious Christians You Should Know (Warren Wiersbe)
