Ed Reese has studied Christian biographies for most of his life, and has become a respected authority on the subject. This amazing Chronological collection of Christian biographies Ed is a compilation of Who's Who among the leaders in the Christian church, from the days of the martyrs of the first century through to contemporary leaders. Tom Malone, Bruce M. Metzger, Gilbert E Patterson, Lee Roberson, Jerry Falwell, and Ruth Bell Graham, are but a few of familiar influential contemporary leaders who served the church right up until their death as late as Ruth Bell Graham's death earlier this year. The book is made up of over 5000 sketches and over 4,000 photos. More than 1,000 organizations cooperated in this effort and attest to Ed's thoroughness and the integrity of the work.
Ed's personal biographical library has over 1,000 books. Selections for inclusion in this work was based on those mentioned two or more times in the books referenced from his impressive collection. Christian organizations, Bible schools, missionary agencies, and major denominations were contacted for additional leadership to be considered for inclusion in the project.
