In this long-awaited sequel to Christ in the Psalms, popular pastor, author, and scholar, Patrick Henry Reardon, once again applies his keen intellect to a topic he loves most dearly. Here he examines the lives of almost one hundred and fifty saints and heroes from the Scriptures - everyone from Abigail to Zephaniah, Adam to St. John the Theologian.

Together they compose that great "cloud of witnesses" cheering us on and inspiring us through word and deed.
