Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 101 BIBLE HEROES "History" is "HIS STORY." It might be easy to assume that a "Bible Hero" is anyone named in the Bible, but it depends on your definition of a hero. To understand what Bible heroes are, we first need to understand what the Bible is. From the perspective of history and literature, the Bible is a library of books, covering thousands of years of history, written by many different authors from diverse cultures. That is helpful and interesting, but there is more. The Bible is the Word of God: God's revelation of who He is and what He has done. The Divine Author has woven a thread throughout the Book that ties it all together: the Big Hero Story. What is the Big Hero Story of the Bible? The Story is God's redemption of sinful, fallen humanity. God Himself is the Hero, invisible to human view until the Hero became the Man Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Promised in the very first pages of the Old Testament and revealed in the pages of the New Testament, Jesus of Nazareth is ..".the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation." To purchase humanity's redemption from sin and death, the sinless God-man paid our penalty on the cross. Jesus didn't just sacrifice himself for people who liked him, but for all sinful people, whom the Bible calls "enemies" of God. In Romans 5:7, the Apostle Paul makes the point that rarely will someone die for a good person. The uncommon situation does happen when a hero sacrifices himself for friends or loved ones, But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The Bible, the Ultimate Story, is the story of a Hero giving himself for others who don't know or understand why. So, the Ultimate Hero of the Ultimate Story helps us understand what a hero is: someone who does what no one else would or could do so that others might benefit, with no thought of personal gain. In the Bible, the primary "Hero Story" is fleshed out by many smaller "hero stories." The Scriptures are a collection of stories that are framed by the Big Story of God's redemption through Jesus Christ. In other words, the small "hero stories" are not disconnected from each other. They are connected and defined by the Big Hero Story. These small hero story characters demonstrate real people living and acting in time and space. These characters are historical, and though the world may scoff at Bible history, people of faith find these stories the most heroic stories in all the world. It might be helpful to categorize Bible heroes in four ways: 1.Characters who were God's heroic INSTRUMENTS. There are a few unusual Bible heroes that God used in very specific situations. 2.Characters with heroic FAITH. "Faith" is defined as "active trust and belief displayed through obedience." The Bible itself tells us that people of faith are key characters in God's redemptive story. Hebrews 11 has been called the "Hall of Faith." It lists names of Biblical people who were notable for their faith in God. Biblical heroes of FAITH were most often simple people with extraordinary trust. 3.Characters with heroic ACTIONS. These are the stories that are most well known. Heroes of ACTION did what had to be done to save or help others. Most of these heroes had some serious issues, but their ACTIONS made them heroic. 4.Characters with heroic NATURE. This is the narrowest of all categories, with only a few falling into it. Of course, the most important one is Jesus Christ Himself, whose heroic nature defines all other heroes for us. Some of the Bible heroes may fit in more than one category, but each of their stories weaves the fabric of the Big Hero Story together. May this journey from Genesis to Revelation with the Bible heroes fill you with the grace, peace, and wonder of God as you travel.

Download or read book The Book of Missionary Heroes written by Basil Mathews and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True stories of the thrilling adventures and daring deeds of the great heroes of sea and land who have faced perils among wild beasts and wilder men to tell of the love of God. Through the centuries, the world has been witness to an unbroken trail of heroes--men and women who braved privation, danger, and death to bring the light of Jesus Christ to the darkest corners of the earth. Some are well known, others long forgotten, but all belong to the same indomitable band of torch-bearers. Join a few of these heroes as they face cannibals, battle slave traders, and care for sick enemies, always with one mission at the forefront--to serve their Lord and bring others into His light. "No field of experience offers greater possibilities for stories of heroism and adventure than the lives of pioneer missionaries. Mr. Mathews is a master narrator as his lives of Livingstone and Paul clearly prove. Here he has given us stories of early pioneers such as Wilfred of Sussex and Francis of Assisi; adventurers in the South Seas, like John Williams and Patteson; African pathmakers like George Grenfell and Alexander Mackay; apostles to Moslems like Raymond Lull, Henry Martyn and Archbald Forder. There are also stories of native Christian converts like Kapiolani of Hawaii, Khama of Africa, and Abdallah, the Moslem boy. These true stories are especially good reading for boys and give excellent material for teachers of boys and girls." -The Missionary Review, Volume 45, January, 1922 "In this book Mr. Mathews presents the Missionary Movement in action. Starting with Paul, the lives of a number of hero missionaries 'are told as yarns to boys and girls around a camp fire.' The volume is divided into four books, taking up in turn, The Pioneers, The Island Adventurers, The Pathfinder of Africa and Heroines and Heroes of Plateau and Desert. "Although written for boys and girls, it provides an excellent insight for an older person into the lives of twenty-five men and women who have been faithful. Every Student Volunteer should gain a greater consciousness of the bigness of his task, and every non-volunteer's sympathy for the missionary cause should be warmed after reading this book."

Book excerpt: Nurtured in the lap of comfort, educated at Eton and Cambridge, the hero of the British sport-loving public, C. T. Studd, whose Cambridge career has been described as "one long blaze of cricketing glory", created a stir in the secular world of his youth by renouncing wealth and position to follow Christ. He was captain of the Eton XI in 1879, and of Cambridge University in 1883, being accorded in the latter year (vide The Cricketing Annual) "the premier position as an all-round cricketer for the second year in succession". The illness of a brother brought him face to face with realities and the transitoriness of worldly riches and fame. He obeyed the divine command, "Go thy way, sell what thou hast and give to the poor ... take up thy cross and follow me", throwing himself into the work which had called him with the same thoroughness and earnestness with which he had learned to "play a straight bat". Henceforward his life was dedicated to the service of God and his fellow men, and the story of his labours and adventures makes an epic of faith and courage against great odds that will be an inspiration to all who rejoice in a tale of high endeavour.
