Mark These Men: A Unique Look at Selected Men of the Bible by J Sidlow Baxter.
The Bible is a treasure house of biographies of people famous and infamous, rich and poor, good and evil. In short, it is full of ordinary people, people just like us. As Dr. Baxter points out in the foreword of MARK THESE MEN, “The biographical treasures of the Bible are inexhaustible. Again and again we turn back to the figures which move before us in its pages, and find new relevancies, new significances, new applications to our own times and to our own lives."
Somehow and in some way these Scriptural characters seem to be invested with typologically and representative qualities which live for all time. These Bible biographies include Elisha, Elijah, King Saul, Daniel, Gideon, Balaam, the apostle Paul, Lazarus, the rich young ruler, Ananias, and Simon of Cyrene.
