GREAT SOULS

SIX WHO CHANGED A CENTURY

By David Aikman

” Aikman deserves credit for writing biographies that not only are reliable and highly readable but also- because of the figures he chose to write about – morally elevating…. Ultimately, Great Souls is about commendable qualities that people of any religious commitment, or even none at all, can and should recognize.”

– Weekly Standard

” Readers with sharp dislikes for any of these six might be surprised to find themselves wavering after the author makes his case. They might even test the breadth of their human sympathy by trying to embrace both Mandela and Solzhenitsyn, both Graham and Wiesel.”

– Books & Culture

” Great Souls is a good read, eloquently showing how ordinary individuals with extraordinary discipline and will have risen above numerous kinds of adversity to influence the world for good.”

– San Antonio Express

Great Souls….. serves as an excellent

introduction to six remarkable lives. Best of all, it answers the question, ‘Where have all the heroes gone?’ They are right in front of us.”

– Lexington Herald
