8. Daniel

December 4, 1996

Political intrigue is the cornerstone of the story of Daniel.

6. Abraham

When God told Abraham that he and his wife Sarah would have a son, Abraham was astounded, for Sarah was long past child-bearing age.

4. Elijah

November 6, 1996

It is always difficult to be an outsider, but Elijah's plight as a persecuted prophet of God took true faith to overcome. Alone in bringing people to the true God, he had to prove that the prophets of Baal were false, incurring the wrath of Queen Jezebel and her weak husband Ahab.

3. Jonah
