What does it really mean to be a great man? Pastor Steve recently recommended this book, and it's easy to see why. Eric Metaxas profiles seven remarkable men — George Washington, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jackie Robinson, and others — and uncovers the one thing they all shared: faith, humility, and the courage to lay down their own desires for something far greater.

These men didn't stumble into greatness. They chose it. And their stories carry a challenge for every man in the pew, the workplace, and around the family table.

Even in a perfect world, it would not be good without women. That was the heartbeat of Pastor Josiah's recent message from Genesis 2, and Seven Women is the book he pointed us to as living proof. Eric Metaxas profiles Joan of Arc, Susanna Wesley, Corrie ten Boom, Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, and others, women who were respected because of their femininity, not in spite of it, and whose courage, nurture, and faith changed the course of history.

Being a woman is not a cookie-cutter affair. This book shows you exactly what that looks like across seven very different lives. Morgan-approved.
