"As Tennyson said, "Lives of great men all remind us we can make or lives sublime, and departing leave behind us footprints on the sands of time." The six great Christian Malcolm Muggeridge profiles in this small volume ar all diverse in background, talents and callings. Yet they all were on spiritual journeys that have influenced others. These vignettes were inspirational and left me wanting to learn more about the lives of these great men."
"I read the first edition of this book, which did not include the chapter on Dostoevsky. Nevertheless, it was a thoughtful overview of a series of spiritual "pilgrims"---men who spent their lives questing to know God through their daily lives.
There are other deeper, more scholarly tomes available on any one of these subjects. But Muggeridge's introductory, Everyman approach makes this book an easygoing and engrossing primer. He does nothing less than humanize his topics: St. Augustine, who wanted only to retire to a life of contemplation and prayer, being pulled by communal need into being a bishop; Kierkegaard, spending his inheritance to publish his visionary works and suffering the critical backlash his writings brought him; Tolstoy's struggles with his contradictory impulses of worldly indulgence and spiritual satisfaction. Muggeridge truly made these figures breathe for me.
This is a book which does the best and most difficult thing a book can do---it piques your interest in and leads to further investigation of its enriching subjects. Those interested in spirituality will find time spent with this volume to be time well-spent."
"I really, really wanted to like this book, but it read like a high school book report. Some of the stories were interesting, but the poor writing style took away from it. I was surprised by this because I had heard so many good things about the author."
