Is it just me, or are you too frustrated with most Christian biography? Many biographers are like over-zealous morticians. They present their subject so perfectly that close relatives don't recognise them. The effect is to glorify the person, and subtly to rob God of his glory.
Gaius Davies has done us a great service in sketching the real lives of a number of great Christians. His aim is to explore their unique psychological makeup, and to show how God by his grace can turn painful handicaps and disabilities into glory.
