Can anyone recommend any good biographies of either missionaries or preachers? I am a member of Amazon.com and if anybody uses it, they know that you can enter a wishlist of any books you would like to get. I entered 40 or so from Leonard Ravenhills list and have read roughly half. Now I would like to read more biographies but I dont know of a good place to start. I have a few of Finney,Brainerd,Keith Green and others.
GOD Bless

The Life and Memoirs of Robert Murray McCheyne by Andrew Bonar
Praying Hyde
Grace Abounding the the Chief of Sinners by John Bunyan
I also recommend this resource:
[b]Home Fires Publishers!
http://www.homefirespub.com/
He has a 6 part book series available simply titled "they knew their God" I have to say personally its the best biography resource I have found yet:

[b]They Knew Their God Volume 1
http://www.homefirespub.com/they_knew_their_god_vol_1.html
The rest are here.
I actually have this first volume and it is great! I also have a book entitled, I believe ,"10 Pentacostal Pioneers" or something to that effect.
Thanks for the other ones you recommended!
GOD Bless
Some auto-biographies of sorts: Jackie Pullinger's Chasing the Dragon. You can find it on Amazon.com. Then Art Katz' Odyssey of a Modern Jew. Both are good.

I recently read 'Evidence not Seen'which is the testimony of Darlene Deibler Rose, a missionary during WWII. It was excellent and recommended to me by someone here at SI.
I also picked up 'Tortured for Christ' by Richard Wurmbrand, but haven't had a chance to read it yet.
