Heroes of the Bible: A Creative Study And Illustrated Of 40 Epic Bible Characters

Who is your favourite Bible character? Is it one of the Old Testament patriarchs, like:

• Enoch?
• Abraham?
• Moses?
• Joshua?
• Or David?

Better still, would you rather choose from the New Testament legends, like:

• John, the Baptist?
• Mary, the virgin Mother?
• Peter, the Rock?
• Paul, Apostle to the Gentiles?
• John, the Beloved?
• Or, is it the Blessed Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ?

Bible Heroes is a comprehensive study and an artistic projection of 40 epic icons, 40 narratives and 40 destinies gleaned from the timeless chronicle of the Bible. The 40 heroes’ profile, most of whom are featured in the Hebrew Heroes Hall of Faith, relives the lifetimes and legacies of these evergreen characters, by retelling their stories one after another.

From the unique lens of each character, a panoramic view of the grander narrative of redemption is worked out. From their story, we find the cause of our faith; in their conviction, we find the necessity for our faith; and out of their narrative, we find the true meaning of faith. Through their many journeys, we find our common destination. And because God stepped into the scene for our sake, we know how the story ends for us, too!

Whoever your favourite is, one thing is certain, these 40 Bible Heroes are deeply ingrained into our human psyche and vastly enmeshed in the unified construct of our spirituality. Like these heroes, who also once stamped their feet upon the Terra, we are living out our human stories day by day; moment by moment.

And as the second chimes into eternity, every choice we make, good and evil, compounds into our everlasting legacy. The time is short, the life is bound; sooner or later, we also shall pass away into the Great Beyond. But one thing shall remain of us forever: the legacy of the life of faith in God we leave behind.

But, before we pass on into that eternal realm of boundlessness and timelessness, we might as well use the significant minute of the moment and take another keen look at the adventurous journey of faith these 40 heroes of the biblical past left behind.

• Who were these folks?
• Where on earth did they spring out from?
• What defined their zeitgeist? How did they encounter God?
• What made them so special for them to still have an endless impact on humans, from generation to generation?
• And how was it possible for the God who created the whole show to step into the scene Himself?
• Who is this Immortal-Mortal God?
• And what is this Divine-Human Story?

These and more are what the writer and author, Aramide Salako have woven together, using the eternal thread of 40 heroic characters to demonstrate and illustrate the Grand Story of  Redemption.
