"After I finished Gideon, God's Mighty Man of Valor, my overall reaction was wow! This book is a timeless tale of courage and humility, as relevant today as 3,000 years ago. A master at blend-ing biblical insight and historical context with compelling story-telling, Dr. Hartman reveals nuances shedding new light on Gideon, the man while challenging the reader to examine their faith. The most striking thing about Gideon, the man for me, was his prayer life and how his strength came from a consistent daily prayer practice that enabled him to trust and heed God's calling. The story is much like the present day, making this book a commentary on America in 2022."
