Warren Wiersbe wrote three sets of spiritual giants, which composed 48 individuals. This volume is the combination of those collections, plus two which the editor requested.
These include several people that I was aware of such as Charles Spurgeon, George Whitfield, A.W. Tozer, and Matthew Henry, and others I wasn't as familiar with, such as Thomas Spurgeon (the son of Charles, and the only one in this collection whose father also made the list).
One stand out for me was Charles Simeon, who I had never heard of before reading, but has since become one of my heroes for several reasons.
There are some people you'd expect to be included that aren't there. For example, the Reformers and the Wesleys aren't mentioned, though Martin Luther's wife was the first person dealt with in this chronological volume.
