F.B. Meyer Bible Biographies Collection (9 vols.)
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
Influential Baptist preacher F.B. Meyer said that few things encouraged him more than studying the lives of biblical characters. Wishing to impart that experience to others, Meyer wrote numerous devotional biographies that combined historical detail with personal application. This collection brings together nine of those works.
Glean insight into the nature of faith with Meyer’s treatment of the life of Abraham. Analyze the many ways King David prefigured Christ. Discover the power undergirding Elijah’s ministry—and apply the spiritual principles of his life to your own. Meyer never glosses over the faults of his subjects.

F. B. Meyer is a true wordsmith, making Biblical scenes come to life through verbal imagery. When God was coming down on the mountain to give Moses the 10 Commandments, you can almost see it all happening.
