En Siete Hombres, Eric Metaxas, uno de los autores más leídos del New York Times, presenta siete retratos cortos exquisitamente elaborados sobre hombres cristianos ampliamente conocidos -aunque no del todo comprendidos-, cada uno de los cuales demuestra de forma singular su compromiso de vivir, bajo determinadas virtudes, en la verdad del evangelio.
Escrito en un hermoso y cautivador estilo, 7 Hombres aborda lo que significa (o debería significar) ser un hombre en la actualidad, en donde los medios y la cultura popular nos muestran imágenes de masculinidad diferentes a las que observamos en las Escrituras y en la vida civil histórica. ¿Qué significa realmente ser un modelo ejemplar como padre, hermano, esposo, líder, instructor, consejero, agente de cambio y hombre sabio? ¿Qué significa ser símbolo de honestidad, coraje y caridad, especialmente cuando la cultura y el mundo van en contra de esos valores?
Cada una de las siete biografías representa la vida de un hombre que luchó y afrontó desafíos, haciéndose fuerte ante circunstancias que hubieran acabado con la determinación de cualquier otro hombre. Los siete personajes reseñados -George Washington, William Wilberforce, Eric Liddell, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jackie Robinson, Juan Pablo II y Charles Colson- invitan al lector a seguir un camino y un estilo de vida superior, uno que sea reflejo del evangelio en el mundo que nos rodea.
