Dr. Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has put up a post listing ten solid biographies, each telling the story of a few godly Christian men. Some of the men mentioned are guys such as St. Augustine, Jonathan Edwards, John Calvin, Martin Luther, Martin Lloyd-Jones and a few others. He provides an excerpt and description for each biography, so you can read the post in full here. Here are the ten biographies that Dr. Mohler recommends (I’ve provided a link to purchase each one on Amazon.com as well).
