SEVEN MEN AND SEVEN WOMEN
And the Secret of Their Greatness
By Eric Metaxas

Two beloved Metaxas classics in a single, compact edition.

In this new, one-volume edition that brings together two of his most popular works, #1 New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas explores the question of what makes a great person great? Seven Men and Seven Women tells the captivating stories of fourteen heroic individuals who changed the course of history and shaped the world in astonishing ways.

• George Washington led his country to independence yet resisted the temptation to become America's king.
• William Wilberforce led the fight to end the slave trade, giving up his chance to be England's prime minister.
• Susanna Wesley, the mother of nineteen children, gave the world its most significant evangelist and its greatest hymn-writer, her sons John and Charles.
• Jackie Robison endured the threats and abuse of racists with unimaginable dignity and strength.
• Corrie ten Boom risked her life to hide Dutch Jews from the Nazis in World War II and survived the horrors of a concentration camp--and forgave her tormentors years later.
• And Rosa Parks' God-given sense of justice and unshakable dignity helped launch the twentieth century’s greatest social movement.

These and other lives profiled in Seven Men and Seven Women reveal the secret to a life of greatness--by responding to a call to live for something greater than oneself.
