The Heroes of the Faith
A. W. Pink
1886-1952
The object of the Christian’s hope is an expression of his faith. This is an actual presence in his heart and mind and thinking. One’s faith flows abundantly from one’s beliefs, what one “does not see” but even so, is assured that it is real. This is our future viewed through the eyes of faith. It is the bond between what God says will happen, and what we believe so much that we live out our lives based on those beliefs. Faith is a bond between our heart and soul and what God has promised us.
This reality shows itself in our life, and this is where Pink examines heroes of the faith, and how their faith has actually brought about a present reality from this future outlook.
Pink examines and explains this from Hebrews 11, God’s list of great heroes of the faith. In each of these cases, God uses an individual who has lived his life different because of the promises of God that have so gripped him or her, that they can no longer live “normal” lives, but live a life showing God in that life that they live.

‘We do not idolize him. But we do recognize him as a very unique man of God who can teach us through his pen and through his life. He was truly “born to write and all the circumstances of his life, even the negative ones he did not understand, propelled him to the fulfilment of that God-ordained purpose.’– RICHARD P. BELCHER Biography of Arthur Pink
“As a young man, Pink joined the Theosophical Society and apparently rose to enough prominence within its ranks that Annie Besant, its head, offered to admit him to its leadership circle.[4] In 1908 he renounced Theosophy for evangelical Christianity… Pink very briefly studied at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago in 1910 before taking the pastorate of the Congregational church in Silverton, Colorado…By this time Pink had become acquainted with prominent dispensationalist Fundamentalists, such as Harry Ironside and Arno C. Gaebelein, and his first two books, published in 1917 and 1918, were in agreement with that theological position.[8] Yet Pink’s views were changing, and during these years he also wrote the first edition of The Sovereignty of God (1918), which argued that God did not love sinners and had deliberately created “unto damnation” those who would not accept Christ.[9] Whether because of his Calvinistic views, his nearly incredible studiousness, his weakened health, or his lack of sociability, Pink left Spartanburg in 1919 believing that God would “have me give myself to writing.”[10] But Pink then seems next to have taught the Bible—with some success—in California for a tent evangelist named Thompson while continuing his intense study of Puritan writings. “ Go to the wikipedia.org article on Pink to read more.
