  • Heroes: Five Leaders From Whose Lives We Can Learn

    Andy Bannister

    language (Rampsgill Press, Feb. 21, 2015)
    We live in an age that’s often cynical about the idea of heroes, that’s confused character with celebrity, and in which the classic virtues of justice, courage, self-control and wisdom are often neglected. Yet in most cultures, role models have always been seen as vital. This short book explores five heroic lives from which we can learn: John Newton, William Wilberforce, C. S. Lewis, Lesslie Newbigin and Tim Keller. Popular speaker and broadcaster Andy Bannister explains why he’s proud to call them his heroes, what we can learn from their stories, and how allowing the “clean sea breezes of the centuries” to blow through our minds can keep our thinking fresh and our lives envisioned.
