Men of the Bible Reviews
-
I love reading Moody's books. He writes in a very accessible voice, and I feel like I would have loved to hear him preach. Very down-to-earth, plain-speaking.

"Men of the Bible" contains several stories of bible. With each story, one can get to know so much insightful morale.
The short stories are about seven sermons on Abraham, Moses, Naaman, Nehemiah, Herod and John the Baptist, the man born blind and Joseph of Arimathea and the panitent thief.
Author has chosen these characters very selectively connecting the dots of ultimate truth and life lessons. It's dignified when he pointed the blackest spot in life of father of faith, Abraham.
Author D.L.Moody's writing and conveying style is quite impressive and profound in his simplicity.
Book is short and free read, available on Kindle. Go for it. -
Challenge me with knowledge
First of all I love that so many Bible resources are free on my Kindle. Dwight Moody always gets me to think more about what I read in the Bible and this book is a great example of that. What do we really know about men in the Bible aside from the passages? Very little to go on because like a lot of us men, these guys are long on action and short on words. Thank you for another great resource for my library -
Moody offers a unique take on some familiar (and some not-as-familiar) stories from the Bible. It wasn't the best book I've ever read, but I'm glad I read it. (And I'm glad it was a free Kindle download!)

Insightful as ever, even decades after its writing.
This inspiring account of several important men in the old and new testaments will evoke nothing less than a quickening fire within thy breast, as if to say where have you gone oh heart of mine, why hast thou forgotten me? -
Well-written
This is well-written and well designed too. The topics are funny and truthful Christian dogmas. But are these realities?
If read with faith, a Christian faith, then yes, everything is based on reality. The challenge is always the same: is there hell or heaven?
Well, God said so. Who should know better? But idea looks man-made. Out of fear of death, man created the paradise in the life to come. -
Excellent read
A short, readable book with a couple of theological errors but this did not detract from the overall lessons to be learned from these men of the Bible, some of whom I had not given as much thought to as men of great faith. The author puts a personal and speculative insight onto the possible ruminations of these men. Well worth a read. -
What a great book that stands the test of time [written over 100 years ago]. 7 sermons on Abraham, Moses, Naaman, Nehemiah, Herod and John the Baptist, the man born blind and Joseph of Arimathea, and the penitent thief comprise this little volume.
Moody is easy to read, interesting and spiritually helpful. Mood is profound in his simplicity and simple in his profundity. Highly recommended. -
Words for life from a godly man.
Dwight L. Moody takes you through the accounts of several men in the Bible showing how God changed them and used them for His glory. If you want a challenge to your walk with God, this is a book for you. -
A good message from a true disciple
Brother of Kenzie speaking. It was a blessing to be able to read a book like so. The author is blessed and I am well pleased to read a good message from a true disciple of Jesus! -
Quick and easy read.
Simple yet insightful and convicting.
Moody uses a few men of the Bible to draw out some really key lessons and introduce new insight into the stories of some lesser thought of men. -
I picked up this book because 1. it was free on iBooks (lol) 2. I wanted to feel more connected to my faith. Moody did great in explaining the takeaways of the several stories of the Bible, even adding in his own thoughts, expanding on the characters' moralities. Very readable and insightful.

Reminded of the men of the Bible who were called
Lord, remember me. As you look to this writing in light of scripture there is truth. How we need preaching to remind us of our weakness made perfect in Christ. -
Today's Christian needs to know D. L. Moody!
And this updated version is a great introduction to his heart and teachings. Many wonderful insights into these men of the Bible, things we normally might not have thought about. Five stars...no question! -
Very insightful look at some overlooked men of faith, showing their strength and weakness. Moody has an incredible gift of bringing characters to life (some preachers licence is used)
This an easy read with short digestible chapters.
Great for teens! -
An amazing book by an amazing preacher!
What an amazing and inspirational author. His writings provide more motivation and inspiration than most preachers I've ever heard in my entire life. I'm going to search for additional books by D.L. Moody!. -
Good
A little out of date but still relevant. A little long winded. and some speculation. Gospel presented often. Recommend it. -
Unique selections of men character in this book. A great devotional material written by D. L. Moody.
-
This seems to be a collection of a few sermons.
Theological this book is a disaster, itβs just storytelling with a lot of made up details. -
Easy to read. Challenging and very informative. I learned a lot of new info about both Old and New Testament characters.
-
It's a quick read, 7 chapters on famous characters in the Bible. A new perspective given on these men when you read this little book.
